Desi Train

It’s quite a conscious decision for you to not write more than a line back to readers who knock on your email box. It’s a decision based on many concepts and beliefs. You get emails all the time, compliments, brickbats, personal agendas etc. And then there are those emails which your opinion sensors would like to label as a “what the fuck’s wrong with this person?” Stop. Refrain yourself from judging and becoming opinionated about individuals around you. Let it go and try to remember your self imposed rule of writing a one line sweet thank you back to your readers.

It’s interesting to note how the medium of emails can provide no clues to where the conversation will land in the coming next second. Emails also assist in making you blind to what the other person is thinking or where he/she is coming from. Ironically it also provides an insight on how much people tend to protect their sensitive hearts inspite of the goof ups [lies] /slip ups [more lies] they may commit. Of course, you as the soul on the spiritual path of “letting go” wouldn’t give a damn hoot…But…

When an aspiring PUA, (for those who came late: PUA = Pick Up Artist) is slapped with a term “Desperate Desi”, you know it’s meat for another interesting article. For Guys: A neat example for those trying to learn on how to converse with women. For women: it is important to note that it is ok if you get rejected, there is no need to protect anything or lash back at someone who isn’t interested in a date with you. Guys get rejected all the time (trust me when I say that). But getting affected by rejection is attaching yourself to results, which eventually means bye bye Freedom of Soul.

All conversations have been kept intact with no editing; name of the person has been kept anonymous…

Hi Oz,

Well I have been a random reader of sulekha & blogspot, & ofcourse your posts…
Liked many, felt scared abt. some… but definitely you write interesting stuff, can identify with the restlessness, contradictory thoughts, simultaneous frustration & hilarity of the situation…
But what makes me write to you is that I recently noticed that you are in Orange county…wow! what a relief. I moved to Orange county some time back for my job, I like the place, but its daunting - the perfect picture of it…everyone has family, a dog, a cat, happy kids, peaceful expressions, slow pace… its good to realize that restless people like you too live here… makes me feel less of an outcast.. Well I think such thoughts of relief are good, as long as they last…in any case, they do not last long!!! But well then, so be it.

Am not mentioning any particular blog of yours, as you might then post this mail online… :)

Will rather not see this online. Also, hope haven’t given you masala to blog this!!!

I hope you survived the Monday!

warm thoughts & take care :)

SS - Thank you for tuning in to my blogs. LOL! No I don’t discuss reader’s emails on my blog unless they want me to. Let me know if you need any help in OC from dogs to hotdogs…and
anything outside of it.

Regards,

Hi Oz,

Am writing to you after a while…not that you missed it!! Kept in touch randomly through you blogs. Nice to know that you are well. Thought of writing to you when you were sick, but then a bit of delay on my part & you announce your being well on the blog-land, so doesn’t leave much to write to you on a personal level. Wonder if all your life is out there on your site.

Hey! congrats for your new website…

Thanks too for offering to help. Its nice of you but being the confused desi - modern woman that I am, can’t help but react like - now my pitaji didn’t send me here because you are here (its another
story that my pitaji didn’t send me to US at all) so well it was my decision to do what I am doing & so I should take care of myself, why bother anyone or you. Ok maybe it will not be a botheration but just an opportunity for you to use the techniques you so ardently promote…but hey! thats not a comfortable feeling too… So well in all this confusion I ended up not writing to you. If you are still reading this with interest, then I can hear your mind scream “then why write now?’ Ok, to answer that, I would say that I have resigned from my job & am moving out of OC… Its easy not to write this mail, specially as though I find you a very interesting person & like the way you analyze situations (something sweet & down to earth in all that), your analogies & can identify with a lot of it, but on the other hand, I am a wee bit scared (ok thats wee bit of an understatement!) of the scandalous techniques you keep mentioning.

Needless to say, I do not hold a panache for being a guinea pig…

So well what is the point of this mail? I don’t know too…maybe just a way of saying hello to a fellow-not-so-conventional-desi in this home we are creating, so far away from our homes…..

Hope you are having a fun weekend! I need to cut on fun, as need to pack & all. I hope I can keep myself inside & working, though knowing me, I will end up going for a hike or hang out with friends in LA and then will be packing on week nights…

Happy day!

SS, The offer for help was offered by one human to another, irrespective of gender. And no I have no interest in you romantically…I guess you are a dreamer and much of a thinker.
So shut up and stop building castles in mid air and get back to the work on your desk.
Your email makes me look like here’s a guy who carries his dick in his hand 24/7. LOL! I’m [My Age – Bleeped out] and as such have a very defined perspective of the women I date. Sorry but you don’t fall in that definition. You can heave a sigh of relief. :-)
And thanks for checking by.

Be good and keep in touch…
