Happy birthday! What? it’s not your birthday today?(if by any coincidence, it actually is, then ,actually happy birthday dear stranger:)).well, that brings me back to my point ,which I haven’t told you yet!
Ok, so here it goes, yesterday, it was the birthday of a girl in my class whom I see more as an acquaintance rather than a friend (let’s say her name is magic-just like that (xyz is too boring and exam like)).yes, so I didn’t go to college yesterday, so I didn’t know that it was magic’s birthday (she’s an acquaintance, remember!)Until I saw it on Facebook written in that little corner magic’s birthday. so, like all normal Facebook people ,I wrote on her wall-happy Halloween!(ok that was lame)-you know what I wrote;. And please take note- that it is a very simple “happy birthday” with no smileys and no additional stuff. i mean ,I just wrote it for the sake of writing ,just because I noticed it by mistake ,just because I love the keyboard of my laptop and that was an opportunity to use it. ok-so you get my point. i mean ,I didn’t expect her to notice that wish ,the maximum I had expected was the normal copy and paste thanks that all the 100 posts on her wall would get.
Ok ,so ,moving on ,then I continued with my regular time-wasting on the internet(more on that later)and after around 2 hours when I again opened fb(It just gets onto your nerves ,doesn’t it-check me, check me-ignore!),I had 2 notifications and guess what, magic(that’s her name, you’re not paying attention!) had replied to my happy birthday post-”thank you sweetie” and a big smiley!!Can you imagine-no thanks or thanku or thanq (which I btw hate) but two whole words and then sweetie! Surprised, I checked the other posts on her wall and most of them had got the cut and paste thanks, but not me! magic had actually noticed that I had wished her and specially typed exclusively for me-thank you sweetie!(I have not gone mad, yes, that is a big thing in the fb world)-totally unexpected, and I just treat her as an acquaintance ,I wouldn’t even have wished if it were not for my amazing keyboard.
Yes, so all this blabber leads me to my final point that sometimes you can get a lot of affection from an unexpected source, sometimes the relation that you share with a person can be quite different as seen from their perspective, sometimes you mean more to a person than they do to you. All this I already knew and I know that you did too, but this little incident just made me realize that again and that too from a different point of view. I mean this is not a case of a secret crush (where such different perceptions exist) but, this can also happen in a normal friendly relation and talking of different point of view, I realized it through fb!-who said fb was all superficial and fake, it just changed my perception of magic (that sounds a bit familiar, maybe I should have named her xyz after all, well!).yes, now I would look at her from a little different point of view (you tend to like people who you know like you-sometimes, other times, it maybe the other way round).yes, so maybe now, I would smile at her if by chance we see each other (as opposed to earlier, when I totally ignored) and other little social things-you know!
But yes, that reminds me, changed perceptions may not always be towards the positive, a similar incident happened to me when I had wished a boy in my class, whom I couldn’t even treat as an acquaintance(he was almost a stranger-yes !-in a class of 90 it’s hard to recall the names of all the people let alone acquaint with them(if that is even a word)) -but still he was in my friend list and still I had wished him(as all fb people do, you may not exactly remember who this person is, but then also you somehow befriend a person based on mutual friends-don’t tell me you haven’t ever done that!).yes so I wished him and without further lengthening this boring story,-he replied thank you dear <3.!!!!!..yes ,what you see there is a heart.!!!i mean that was more than a subtle surprise for me as in the previous case. I was shocked and a little disgusted as well. I mean, I rarely know you man, we have never even said hi to each other, what’s with the dear and the heart!!.Well that also changed my perception of him but for the worse. That day I also took a mini pledge of never wishing non-friends on fb(well it’s a different thing that I forgot about the pledge after 2 seconds)but I did take it! And that also makes me think of all the rules associated with accepting friend requests -but more on that later.
For now, that’s all I have -some changed perceptions, and a little increased respect for fb and yes of course the ability to blabber out 3 paragraphs about such a little tiny mini incident, that’s what you call overemotional to say the least and paranoid otherwise.
And yes, If you have actually endured through this nonsense and reached this last line-then that’s what I call magic!:p
