Tasawwur - A Unique MaYur Saga -Completed 10/12

...so I resign from IF with my last note "Good Bye and Thank You" and start living my usual, normal life assuming that I will never come back to IF again, other than the occasional PM checks and all. Days pass by when one day...I hear a knock on my door. As I respond to that, I see a person that I know but not familiar with. We have interacted before but our paths didn't cross like this. She comes in and we spark a conversation which starts off quite well when suddenly it turns into an argument. She becomes upset with her own words and walks out like a storm leaving me clueless as to what just happened! After a few days, she comes back again and I notice a certain guilt feel in her tone for her previous behavior. Ignoring all that is past...we talk about things..irrelevant matters of the world. But somehow, I think I manage to touch her nerve again and she steps out swearing never to talk to me again. Fine by me...as I smile at her. She stays away..for days and weeks but I feel her presence around me. She sends occasional and random messages once in a blue moon, a line or 2 which I ignore. Then suddenly she comes back again and triggers a conversation referring to another one which I cannot recall at all. As we start talking I realize she cant stand me. I irritate her...for a minute I thought she hates me but no..she actually finds me annoying. But guess what the weirdest thing is...she still comes to me especially when she is feeling low, we talk for hours and we go through the same cycle again when she walks out with a rage...determined never to come back again. Till today, she comes back to me...I await her sudden knock on the door hoping that someday we could end a conversation with a decent "GoodBye" note. This story is not based on her and neither will I dedicate it to her but she, in fact, is the reason why I decided to start writing again. If you do enjoy reading it as much as I would when I write it from the core of my heart, you know who deserves the credit :)

So here is a basic concept. If you think you can bear with me with another unique and unpredictable story, then please do press the LIKE button and of course your comments will only add to my inspiration to start it sooner. I shall be traveling next month and may disappear for God knows how long but I would start chapters of it and publish here as soon as I get back. Over to you guys now...

This one is going to be very different...(she thinks). Its not a story actually and this time its not character driven either. All what it is.. a collection of "Interactions" or "Conversations" between 2 people.

Character Sketch:

None! All I can say is one is Mayank and the other is Nupur. Their characters will be sketched as they learn about each other and develop a perception about each other'perception that they would carry about the other and may not necessarily reflect the actual personality they possess.

FAQ:

- Misunderstandings?? A lot! And this is what will build the foundation of their relationship

- Heavy again?? I think so...more as they get to know each other but lighter at the beginning.

- Happy Ending? Strangely enough, there is no ending. Its an ongoing conversation...there will be no relationship that I can define between them till the end. I guess the idea is to just enjoy their interaction without any end result.

- Is it from my own life? Yes & No :) People who know me can probably link me with Mayank very easily. And Nupur? She is mine alright :)

- Never ending conversation...boring nahi hojayegi? yeah..I run that risk but lets see.


Teaser:

This will give you a flavor of the conversations that will be happening between them (more on a depth side)


M: humain aapse kuch kehna hai..
N: kehiye...main zyada dair tak nahi ruk sakti. so plz zara jaldi kijiye...isse pehle ki bardasht khatam hojaye

I hope I am clear...
N: bas yah aur kuch?
M: nahi..I just sincerely hope that you have taken a mental note of this for the rest of your life
N: yah ..all noted
M: apna khayal rakhiyega. I just have one regret as I leave...k shayed ab hamari mulaqat kabhi nahi hogi..meri yaadasht jitni kamzor hoti jayegi aap dheere dheere bas ek khwaab sa bann jayenge ..and one morning I will wake up believing that you are nothing but a fragment of my imagination

Take care...Allah Hafiz

Hi nice to see you back 😊

~~~~ Opposites Meet ~~~~

My story starts more than 3 years ago….at Dubai…one of the largest business hubs in the world now a days. The trade center is holding its annual ICT event called GITEX, a showcase of IT and Telecom products and services from global industries represented by its team of executive management and talented employees and attended by people from all over the world. One of those attendees is Mayank, a middle aged man, born and brought up in UK, highly educated with a degree in Engineering and way ahead in his career compared to his other friends. His success in life is clearly reflected on his appearance, his well fitted, designer suit shows the position he holds in the international company, his branded silver framed glasses fail to hide the intelligence in his eyes and his stern expressions portray his attitude towards his life and career. He is very hard working and believes that everyone is the maker of his or her own fortune and you can reach your goal if you desire it strongly and work towards it with patience and hard work. Mayank is here to demonstrate the latest technology his company has launched recently and to seal some deals with other service providers.

This week long event also attracts thousands and thousands of visitors from various countries as well. And out of those thousands of people, is Nupur. A cheerful, bubbly soul but overwhelmed by the crowd and completely clueless about what the stands are representing. Nupur has completed her postgraduate studies last year and taking it easy in life now. She holds a rather laid back attitude towards her life and hopes that things will fall into their right places in due course of time and there is not too much you can do about it. She is in Dubai today not because of the main event here, she is only accompanying her uncle and is more keen to visit the GITEX shoppers event at the expo. As they are both running around with their own purpose in hand, Nupur trying to get out of this boring dull event and Mayank to attend meetings with vendors, unknowingly and accidentally they collide with each other. Mayank just feels the push and walks off without even a single notice. Nupur, however stumbles for a while, drops her bag and brochures and before she could say anything to the stranger whom she collided with, he is lost in the crowd. With annoyance and agitation, she picks up her bag and brochures one by one and notices another file right next to them all. She takes a glimpse of the file and fails to understand the technical contents of it but realises its important for someone. Being generous as she is, she takes the file with her.

A month later, Mayank receives a courier in his office in UK. He opens it to find out his missing file in the pack with a note:

"Hi, I found this file at the GITEX event. Seemed very important and highly confidential. So sending it back to you.

-Nupur

p.s. I found your address details on your business card.

Mayank was glad to see the file. He was not worried about the data itself as he has the soft copy but the contents were definitely confidential and not to be disclosed to other parties. He decided to send a note back to her. Called his secretary and arranged for a simple, off the shelf card to be sent to the address details from the courier. As he ticked this task off his "Things to do List" in his organizer, he completely forgets about Nupur until one day when he receives an email while working from home at night. Completely forgotten about the name, he opens the email:

Hi,

I received your company branded and secretary signed "Thank you" note today. There was no need though…such complimentary notes would proudly add to your fellow colleagues' collection but stands meaningless to my personal effects. I sent the file back to you as I thought it was important to you, didn't know that I was sending it to a lifeless organization. Anyways, looks like this is how you convey your gratitude in that part of the world, so no issues.

Take Care
Nupur

Mayank was startled by that email. He is not used reading such emails! He recalls the name but remains confused as to why she is upset. What did the secretary write on that note? He gets curious and next day, first thing in the morning he inquires about it with his secretary only to find out that she sent one of the typical company cards from the stock with a company stamp, the standard procedure that the company follows to send complimentary notes to clients and vendors. Mayank initially doesn't find anything wrong with it but there is something that is bothering him…something that is wrong and it needs to be rectified. He spends the day busy in his work but also there is this tiny thing that keeps cropping up in his mind. End of the day, as he is driving back home, he is really annoyed with himself…

"kya Mayank! itni choti si baat ko lekar itna pareshaan kyun hai? kahan ki ladki…ataa pata kuch hai to nahi then why are you so bothered? nahi…baat ladki ki nahi..baat hai usoolon ki. logon ko thank you note milne per khushi honi chahiye…yehi wajah thee uss card ko bhejne ki per yeh shaks khush nahi, balke kaafi naraaz lagi email ki tone se. kuch ghalat to hai! I need to figure it out and correct it"

So, after having his dinner and completing his final bits of office work, he writes to Nupur:

Dear Ms. Nupur,

Thank you for your email. I am glad you received the note, however, I remain slightly confused with regards to the contents of your email. The card was, truly sent by the secretary as per the company procedure and there was no offense intended by it. If you were hurt by it, then I sincerely apologise on behalf of my company.

With Best Regards
Mayank

He sends the email and goes to bed with a relief that he has resolved all the outstanding issues for the day! Little does he know that his email was only the beginning of a saga with countless such interactions between the two most opposite people anyone has ever seen.
