once upon a time..

differences, distances, silence, vacuum, random reflections, a smile, laughter, happiness. An otherwise boring day turned out to be action packed, well kinda, thanks google, yet again..:-D

they were having slight differences in opinion about something. or was it about some ‘things’. not sure; may be the difference in opinion grew from one thing to the next and to the next, cumulatively. they were not in talking terms for quite some time now. quite sometime would only be just some hours. but considering the fact that they weren’t like this before and that they cant be, this 'quite some time' was quite a quiet period in their short life together. for sure, they both, hated it. but their respective egos prevented them from 'disturbing' this silence between them and they were quietly holding to it; the silence grew in between them to such deafening levels. yes, deafening levels, frightening. for sure, they both, hated it.

lying on their bed, keeping definite distance between themselves, they were constantly staring at the rotating fan. Suddenly the power went off. the fan, came to a stop, slowly and steadily. yes, not an abrupt stop. it doesnt make sense, had it been an abrupt stop. it cant be. Well, that I think might be something to do with inertia, momentum et al. we are better of not discussing Newton, here. neither moving things can come to an abrupt end nor stagnant things can get started without a spur. even though it was late October, it was hot. not blistering as in summer, but it was enough to worsen the already steaming 'cold war' between them. that again reflects the ‘fact’ that the negativity between them was growing to astounding levels. astounding, deafening, frightening and what not! they were looking for reasons to fight. reasons, not to talk with each other. reasons, to show off. yes, they were keeping definite distance with each other, which was growing indefinitely. showing of; they both, kinda loved it.

laptop was still on. internet connection was up. his hands tried to reach hers. she reached for the touch pad with her other hand, moving a little away from him and clicked on the chrome icon. The browser window was open and she typed www.google.com with her left hand. the all white screen of the search giant opened up. she looked onto the monitor, he too. They both wondered as to what to type, as in, what to search for. Search happiness, is it? Sounds logical, though highly impractical. wish the search giant help in their pursuit of happyness (www.imdb.com/title/tt0454921 ). Oops, happiness, no pun intended. they both saw each others’ reflections in the monitor. a lil smile blossomed on her face; he laughed out loud as if he was waiting to see that smile. she took the hand away from the touchpad, took off the internet connection, switched off the laptop. The definite distance between them have now become ‘indefinite’. they both, for sure, loved it. Yahoo!
