343 Friends !!!

Today as i sit down in front of my laptop...StumbleUpon the world wide web...a glass of whiskey on my left hand side and a hp mouse on right.. i suddenly realized i was missing something ...someone... someone across the table who would sit with me.... talk to me.... listen to me and get drunk with me.....i was missing a friend .....then suddenly out of nowhere i opened a notepad and start to write....

It didn't take long for me to realize that i was alone . "Solitude is bliss but loneliness kills"............ i have learnt this lesson long time back... during the time when i used to think a lot... write a few.. and didn't speak at all. but for the past years i spoke a lot.. thought a little and didn't write at all.

And today as i write.. i felt the flow in my fingers had died.. the hand,eye and head coordination that used to be there no more existed... and as i was pondering how to express this singularity..... i was feeling..i saw a message pop up in my Facebook!! There was a "friend request" from a friend from past.As i"accepted" his "friend request" and then i moved on to my profile page ..my eyes got stuck at a point: Friends (343)

This made me feel more lonely ..the fact that i had 343 but none today to be here with me.. and suddenly it dawned upon me .. Facebook : i knew answer to every "W" question about my 343 but didn't know "how" they are feeling ... just as they don't know how i'm feeling right now !!!

I felt a sudden urge to call-up a friends and ask him how he was feeling ... he lived withing a 5km distance of me but haven't met him in past 5 weeks.. so as i dialed the number.. the phone rang on the other side...picked up after 5 full rings... and i asked " के गर्दै?".....the answer in his obvious tone came.. :"Facebook मा साथीहरु सग Chat गर्दै " ..as i hung up the phone i understood... i was missing a companion not a Friends (343)
