Once upon a time, long long ago [not really, he exaggerates :P] there lived an [apparently quite stupid but hey, it's his story, who am I to change things? :P] boy named Raj in Pakistan. He used to play a stupid game on Facebook because he didn't have much else to do. And he was quite proud of it as well. He was one of the first players when they had just launched the game. So, he has even seen that game evolve over a long period of time! [huh?!! :P] But one day sometime in November last year, he met this girl from India. And the first sentence he said to her was, "Oh, I'm from This city. The one which is always in Indian media for all the wrong reasons. ;)" And the girl laughed. Silly girl! Didn't she know the rule of "hasi toh phasi"? :P But he didn't think much about it. He met lots of people everyday. However, he did like talking to her more purely because they both spoke the same language. And it indeed is a good thing to find someone who speaks the same language. I guess linguistic bonds are stronger than a lot of other bonds! :P
Anyhooo, they started talking more frequently in the following days. They both loved old Bollywood songs and Urdu gazals. That was what really founded their friendship. They would both share videos and introduce each other to a lot of different songs which the other didn't know. Gradually they began talking about their lives and discussing the similarities and differences of each other's cultures. They were both similar enough to understand everything but still different enough to keep each other interested. Apparently, they used to talk about food a lot. Raj then introduced Vee (for that's her name!) to a special dish from This city that he lives in. But what he didn't know was that Vee was a vegetarian (still is, by the way.) So, Vee told him that it all looked very nice (just being polite, you see) but that she advocates vegetarianism. And Raj, for some weird reason, thought that she should have been offended but wasn't. That impressed him a lot. [I'm not complaining, am I? :P] And so, they kept talking about food, customs, dressing codes and conducts, politics etc. But one day, they broached the topic of religion. And not the first few days, but soon, all hell broke loose! They had very very very different ideas. Radically opposite to each other. Did the friendship falter? Not really, not that either of them can remember of. Though Raj was once again very impressed by Vee because she would ask him questions about things he used to take for granted. He felt grateful to Vee for making him dig deeper into his own religion and understand certain things better. And as for Vee, well, she, being a Humanities student, has always been very interested in things like this. So, they considered this as healthy discussions and debates about a slightly controversial topic.
Somewhere in between all of this though, Raj fell "madly in love" with Vee. Vee took some time but, eventually she came around too. Now, they still talk about all the things they used to before. Somehow, neither do they get bored nor do they run out of things to say. Crazy, eh? :P Oh, and 3rd September was apparently quite special for them. Who knows why?!! Seeing as that they haven't even met each other yet, it's weird to think that, no? Ah, well, these two are quite stupid anyway. So, must be some silly inside joke! :P Oh, and I almost forgot, "they lived happily ever after." [You read it right. That's exactly what he said.]
Ok, so, Raj's story is over and I'm back. Why, that was an interesting story Raj, thank you! Here is my version (Yes, I'm feeling a bit mush today. I'll be back to my usual self soon!) of the story:
Ek Din Aap Yoon Humko Mil Jayenge Phool Hi Phool Raahon Mein Khil Jayenge Maine Socha Na Tha Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye Zameen Maine Socha Na Tha Dil Ki Daali Pe Kaliyaan Si Khilne Lagin Jab Nigaahein Nigaahon Se Milne Lagin Dil Ki Daali Pe Kaliyaan Si Khilne Lagin Jab Nigaahein Nigaahon Se Milne Lagin Ek Din Is Tarah Hosh Kho Jayenge Paas Aaye To Madhosh Ho Jayenge Maine Socha Na ThaJagamagati Hui Jaagti Raat HaiRaat Hai Ya Sitaaron Ki Baraat Hai Jagamagati Hui Jaagti Raat Hai Raat Hai Ya Sitaaron Ki Baraat Hai Ek Din Dil Ki Raahon Mein Apne Liye Jal Uthenge Mohabbat Ke Itne Diye Maine Socha Na Tha Maine Socha Na Tha Maine Socha Na Tha.Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye ZameenMaine Socha Na Tha
