Iam Online........

She was getting ready for a big event. Every evening she gets ready for this. She wakes up in the morning and waits for the clock to strike 5:00 P.M. She even tries to nap in the afternoon so that she doesn’t realize what a long wait it is ……………Oh yes, it’s 5:00. Time to go……….she once again looks at the mirror admires herself and wears her best make up - a beautiful smile :) , runs down stairs while telling her parents – in law “ amma , accha iam going to cyber café. “ ………..That’s my lovely sister – in –law. Her better half ( my little brother ) is currently outside India & she is going to cyber cafe to “meet” him online. Married for almost eight months now both of them still like to be called “just married”.


Looks like they tied the knot and he wore wheels in his shoes almost at the same time. He has been traveling different places ever since. Well, thanks to all the latest technologies, they are still able to “see” & “hear “ each other even if they are sitting in different parts of the world. No wonder web cams and microphones are sold like hot cakes these days !!.

When I open my chat list, sometimes I see both of them “online” at the same time and I feel happy for them....... Did I hear them telling, “ we are oh so near, yet so far “?
Well, distance has brought their hearts even closer….

Can miles truly separate you from loved ones.... If you want to be with someone you love, aren't you already there?


I forgot to mention this has also made the cyber café owner near our house lot happier. After all he has a regular customer in the evenings now. …………….
