THE DILEMMA- TO CALL/NOT TO CALL...!
*********************************
The next few hours in the clinic were really tough for me…
I wanted to see Monish… I wanted to talk to him…
I don’t know why BUT I was kinda missing him…
There was something strange about that guy…
He had been bothering me a lot since the last 5 days…and moreover to recoup for his intrusion in my life, he had done me a favor too…
Somehow, I felt indebted to him.
It was 12 PM and I was still busy with my patient’s treatment…
By the time I completed treating the patient it was quarter to 1… and it was no use going to the canteen…
He would obviously be busy…
Yes yes.. I know I had his number and you all obviously are wondering why I did not call him up…
Sometimes, your ego/hesitation ( WHATEVER YOU MAY NAME IT … ) does not allow you to do certain things…
Calling him up was one of those things…
MONISH was just a phone call away…simply 10 digits away… but I could not make that call…
I felt guilty too ‘cause I hadn’t thanked him quite well…I could not even get the chance to ask him how he managed to get those signs…
And to be honest, I was so lost or perhaps CARELESS that I did not even check the attestation signatures on the documents and simply submitted them in the administrative office…
There was no facebook or should I say there was no “fb” as the today’s generation calls it…
Lives were not trespassed by this thing called facebook…
FACEBOOK “existed” but it did not RULE lives…!!
It was four years to facebook in 2008, if I am not wrong…but I preferred to stay away from it…
Everyone lived in the “REAL” world back then…
People talked “face to face” and not on FACEBOOK…
It was the era of orkut and to be honest, I hated orkut…I still do…
Naturally, I wasn’t going to search on “orkut” for any Dr. Monish Shah….
I wanted to talk to him through my words and not through status messages or electronic mails…
I liked my life that way… Life not invaded by this thing called “facebook”… Life not complicated by those words called "like/share/comment"....
I reached home, kept looking at my cell phone but it was of no use…
If only I had given him my number!!!
I wish I had called him up the night before…
I wish I had an excuse, a good EXCUSE to call him up and say “Hey Dr. Monish…”
I wish I could call him up and say “Let’s meet up!!”…
