Beyond Lounge.....Ste ... updated..

Few weeks ago I read Asbah's post which was having the same title . Now this is my turn to write about my experience interacting with my fellow loungers. Well, firstly I would like to talk about my very own Miss Intelligent .She is none other than Asbah Alaena.

Asbah
I knew Asbah long before we started this Lounge.We met around a year back through some blogger community in Orkut. It was a rainy day and Airtel Server in Mumbai got crashed giving us an opportunity to enjoy free calls for a day.It was around 10 am in morning.My friend informed this Airtel thing as I was completely devoid of everything happening around me.Fortunately it was a Saturday.I asked Asbah Madam if I could call her and I told everything about Airtel Server crash.She could not believe this and without any 2nd thoughts she gave me her number.I called her and imagined we spoke for 10 minutes. From that call I deducted the following.
1.This girl is really very talkative..atleast I felt so.
2.She is sweet.
3.Its strange but I some how felt that she was intelligent.
4.She is not naughty ,but clever she is. :P
5.She is innovative because of the various ideas that she was giving me about Lounge site .

After discussing with Sandeep ,we came to a conclusion that Asbah would be called "Islex" from hence on. Thats a sweet nick for her ,isn't it? It stands for Islamabad Express.

Sandeep Balan.
From day 1 ,itself I knew that this guy is unique and has got a bulk of talents (after seeing Mussadi man videos).He was introduced to me by Asbah.This guy always used to remain online through gtalk. After few days Idea realized that its employees are making much use of its services without doing any work.This is when they decided to revoke internet services at his office and of sudden this guy disappeared .Recently I met him on Neha's bday party.He is no different of what I know him online.He is a genious and hats off to his creativity and talents.We often talk to each other.

Priyanka
This is one something really strange.The other night I asked for her number and few days later I called her.I was amazed when I heard her voice for first time.It sounded so good.She called me" Steeeeephheeeennnnnnn" almost extending the end part "hen" .In response I called her "Priyannnnnkaaaaaaa" .It was indeed funny.She was my good friend and my sister to be precise.Few days ago she called me in context to that Sandeep Malu post deletion thing. It was funny though .She send me a long sms and I was really angry on her that day."Kario" of her is really superb ...typical Delhi lingo.

Mona
Ahh,I spoke to this poet on Christmas day.She was having her exams the very next day and I called her to wish her luck for her papers.She is indeed a sweet perso.I actually met her few days back on Neha's birthday party. A friendly person and we loved playing prank of Sandeep Balan Sir.

Neha
I was busy sleeping on a Sunday Afternoon and I got a call on my cellphone.She asked me to guess her .I could not guess her voice. I realized that it could be Parul ,one of my best friend. Later on she told me that it was Neha.She is a sweet person too and we Lounge people from Mumbai rocks.We 4 actually had a blast on her birthday party where we spoke to Priyanka and Asbah as well.It was fun that day.

Anurag
Yeah ,we talk quite often as we share same Engineering course.He calls me mostly to know about syllabus,text book authors and to know if students in my class are attending lectures or not.


Rashi
It was on the contest result declaration day when we spoke.She and Leo were waiting for the RDL contest results.I could not declare the results as per the promised date (Thanks to my internet).They all were getting impatient as I had already made them wait for a long period of time.It was nice talking to her.

Arjun
He is someone different than what I knew of him here.He speaks very slow. He hardly speaks Hindi.I just tried to play a prank on him few days ago by giving him a voicemail number.But soon later he realized that it was a prank.It was nice talking to a intelligent person like.:p

Leo
Spoke to him regarding the contest and Lounge thing.Actually I was stranded in a shopping mall and was in a hurry to go home .So I could't talk to him much.

Nan
Finally I got to write about Minnie Mouse.She really sounds like a Minnie Mouse.I was in a train when I called her ,so could'nt hear much.Most of our convo was in Tamil.

Prats
This is a long story.I actually woke her up on a Sunday Morning.I tried to conceal my identity and called her as Mr.Smith ,a Google India employee.Mr.Smith was about to present her the outstanding blogger award.But later on I revealed my identity.

Heena
The latest lounge girl.I spoke to her on Sunday afternoon.She is an interesting character and mind me she is not a kid.:P . Her voice was a familiar voice to me.She was watching Delhi 6 when I called her.I adviced her not to see chindi flop movies. It was nice convo.

John
I spoke to John Anna recently......while I was in a bus.....a typical south Indian he is........sounds like one.....very friendly types..

Chirag
Omg....is bandhe ka voice bahut hi matured types hai....sounds like a middle aged man.....nice person he is....

Gaurav
Another friend of mine..I called him yesterday to inform about our meet on tuesday,,,,hopefully i feel i should be there.....but thanks to my project work....grrrr

Kajal
Well this call was accidental....spoke to her few hours ago...in a conference call with Sandeep ....listened to whatever she spoke and Bhai did the speaking job and I did the listening job...and hey trust me conference call is really fun yaar



And hey....I don't work for Airtel .....and no free calls okiee: P

We could possibly have a Writers Lounge Members meet this year.What do you guys say? Many members have met each other .So we could decide on a particular day and meet .What say?



Regards,
Ste

  19. @ my meeting with Prats...

    The ice-cream corner was just a short walk from my place.... I was in deep sleep when i got up all of sudden to realise that it was just 5 mins for 6pm n i had to meet her... I walked so slow that maybe even cockraoches raced me.... I'll tell u the reason later.. :P

    We met up with wide grins, bought ice creams and talked and talked. You know, that was great. Unbelievable. Just as everyone, i read her poems, genuinely loved them to the core, became a total fan of her, n all of a sudden there she was in front of me. We were talking like we've been friends from a long time. It felt weirdly wonderful.

    ANd then we started our walk back. I was about to say- "I'll walk you to your place" by the time she asked me to do so. I felt like.. like.. guess..hehe. We started the -' walk the talk'... it was fun... I walked her half the way, when she said it was fine and she would walk the remaining distance... n i shamelesslesly said okay... we bid good-bye n began the walk back home.... We had finally met.. :P

    OKay now to the walking mystery- I had a deep cut on my thigh for which i was bandaged....a small accident .. the bandage was getting loose n was dropping down with every step i took and the cut started to itch and pain.. hehe...
    If u wanna picture my walking style- picture sachin tendulkar's action before every ball he faces... hehe

    So basically- 'Prats.This is the secret if u had noticed my weird walking style by any chance that day'... ;).. :P

    It was lovely, lovely meeting her.... n we r gonna meet again soon... right prats?
    n also thank u so much for the poetry u wrote abt our meeting- such a nice gesture.. I too tried to write one but through my writings, I can only convey our meeting scenario but not the emotions. ... hence this long comment.. :)

    Cheers..!!
