Boundaries ... PEOPLE .

OMEGLE.COM

Stranger : Hi ..

Me : Hi ..

Stranger : 21/ M/ here ..

Me : 22 / m ..

[ waited for the connection to get disconnected as usual when two same genders meet ]

To My Surprise ..He continued .

Stranger : where r u from ?

Me : India .. U ?

Stranger : china ..

Me : so i'm chatting with a communist .. :)

with this he got fierce n i was bombarded with his replies saying the only thing

u or anyone ask about a Chinese is " communist " " Red " " low quality

products " "poor people " dont v anything more than that ..

I was taken back with replies ,though i dint admit my mistake v continued

our chat ..

so after sometime i again mocked him asking "In ur country Facebook n Twitter

n all Banned na.. wat reason ??"

he Plainly replied " its bcos of censorship "

I replied " In India v ve censorship only for showing Boobs ;) " ..

when the chat continued he did know many things about india its currency

language . buddhism ..so when speaking about religion , i replied him

" I'm hindu , ve u ever heard of it ?? " He said " i know well n its the sixth

biggest religion in world n one of the ancient religion n in India more than

80 % r Hindus " I was stunned to hear this from him for a second bcos

till date i dint know about it n couldnt avoid the thought

WHO s really behind IRON CURTAIN ...

Then he explained about the rift between china n russia n the small war

they had in 1960.. I told him that India n russia r good friends for 60 years ..

Now it was his turn to mock , He " ya .know. u r good friend to russia so that u

can buy weapons from russia n US. u people r Good DIPLOMAT " .. now i clearly

know this is not gonna be a usual conversation about discussing

both countries gals r movies ..

I hit back strongly saying their role in pak arms n their support to

Maoists n smuggling arms to naxals through bangladesh .. he resisted first

saying he hadnt heard anything like that n when i started to press , he said

"i dont think my govt ll be doing like this n v dont ve interest in such things "

i said myself - now who is the BLOODY (red) DIPLOMAT ..


when the topic about war came his manner suddenly changed , n he explained

that war is not an answer for any conflict ,even if china wins ,i ll be the loser.

I asked " How?. He " already there r lots of poor people in china n war ll make

them more poor, education n infra structure hasnt reached many parts n

war ll only make them non-feasible for still more decades ..health n hosp

services r also weak here , outsiders only see beijing n shangai n say v r rich

but the rest of the china r poor by all means " God he was so genuine n

touching , n i felt sorry for my attitude towards war ..


Tried to convince

him by saying " u r Next US .. n now u r a Super power " .this made him

still sad , he " how u r saying our country super power when most of our

men r poor, i'm doing my education n not sure about my future n living

with fear of tomorrow ..its damm silly calling our nation super power " ..

I dint know where the conversation was going but i started to like him ,he

even said ur country also no diff ot ours n people need many doctors like u ,

so study well ..


Atlast when the border issues came ,i was in no mood to argue with him n

said watever u say Arunachal pradesh is a part of india from independence ..

His reply was diff , he " i dont care to whom it belongs ..but china has got lots of

land unused n without development , i wonder y the hell they r fighting for

a land with only mountain n rocks , if they want they can improve many

wastelands in my place n develop " ..with this v came to end n my opinion

towards him was completly changed..

I typed Bye but something was pressing me n i

couldnt press ENTER .. saw the monitor it was saying

stranger typing , it took a longtime n i thought its going to be a long reply

but it came simlpy as Bye alone .. [ same feeling ] I send my bye note to him.

still couldnt complete the conversation .. n v were waiting on both ends ..Then

finally v exchanged our E-mail Ids n bid Good bye..

so here i'm not going to explain anything about boundaries n people ..bcos

as v all know only boundaries divide us n not people. countries differ but

their people r always same ..

P.s .
1. Eventhough the comrade was so furious about thinking china as red n

communist alone , the colour given for his name in the chat room was

RED - Irony .. !

2. His English was poor than mine n he made many spelling errors ..gave me a

personal satisfaction ;)

3. was thinking for 2 days should i write this as a post, finally wrote for my

remembrance .
