கடலைக்கார்னர்-70(18+) இங்கே!

"Hi Kannan!"

"Stacy!!!So, how was your vacation?"

"Well, it was OK."

"How was your new boyfriend? Keeping you busy in the bed all the time!"

"Ha ha ha! He is not that good."

"How is it going with him, anyway?"

"Well, it is OK."

"Look! who is coming!"

"Hi, Stacy! Hello Kannan!"

"Hi, Brindha! Check this out! Kannan is very curious to know HOW GOOD my new boyfriend is in the BED!"

"Really!"

"இவ சொல்றத நம்பாத பிருந்த்!"

"What "nambatha"? Didn't you ask how he is f'cking me?"

"Jeez! Why do you do this, Stacy?"

"May be I am trying hard to make Brindha break up with you so that I can hook up with you!"

"You are such a sadistic bitch, Stacy!"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Kannan! Did you happen to know Praveen, the guy who is working in the "process"?"

"Why do you ask, Brindh?"

"Because he was telling Stacy that you and him were good friends. I never seen you were talking to him or mentioning about him ever! I am just curious."

"It was many years ago. Yeah, we used to be. I dont talk to him anymore!"

"So, you KNEW HIM as a FRIEND? You dont even say a "hi" to him these days?!"

"Nope! I mean YES! I avoid him completely"

"What happened? "

"I guess there was a misunderstanding. Then I did not want to deal with him anymore!"

"But now he is in the same city, same company..?"

"So what?"

"I dont understand!'

"He called me and left couple of messages. I did not return the calls!"

"That is rude, Kannan!"

"Of course, I dont want to deal with him Stacy. That is how I can make him understand!"

"Did he give up?'

"Nope, he called me again and I picked up and said "hi" and "how is he doing" blah blah but you know I was not excited or anything."

"Then?"

"He invited me to his house. He introduced his wife on the phone. I could not accept his invitation. That is it!"

"What did he do to you, Kannan? Did he steal your girl friend or something? Ha ha ha!"

"Honestly, nothing that serious, Stacy. Somehow the relationship got cracked. I just dont feel like "rebuilding" the "cracked relationship". It is good for both of us. There is a very big world out there. He can find new friends. So can I."

"Well, I have got to go now! Forgot to ask you, did you ask Victoria to look for another job or something?"

"Yeah, I dont think she fits in well here in our group!"

"Whatever. As long as my ass is not in trouble I am fine with it! See you guys later."

---------------------------------
"ரொம்ப நாள் பழகிய ஒரு நண்பரிடம் அதெப்படி இப்படி கண்டுக்காம இருக்கீங்க?"

"Honestly, Brindh, if some strain developed in "friendship" it is better to break it completely! I dont think there is anything like "make up" in friendship! At least for me!"

"Why is that?"

"என் அனுபவத்தில் சொல்லுறேன் பிருந்த். அதை ஒருபோதிலும் சரி செய்யவே முடியாது!"

"அப்போ ப்ரவீன் மட்டும் இல்லையா?"

"நான் முன்னால ஒரு சில நண்பர்களிடம் பழைய மாதிரி ஆக முயற்சி செஞ்சிருக்கேன். ஆனால் அதில் வெற்றியடைய முடியலை. மறுபடியும் மறுபடியும் அதே மாதிரி ஏதாவது வரும்.. வந்துட்டே இருக்கும். மரியாதையா ஒதுங்கிப் போயிருறதுதான் நல்லது."

"நல்ல அனுபவம் போங்க! அப்போ "மறப்போம் மன்னிப்போம்" , "மனிதர்கள் எல்லாருமே தவறு செய்வது இயற்கைதானே?" னு பேசுறதெல்லாம் சும்மா ஏட்டுச் சுரைக்காயா?"

"என்னை பொறுத்தவரையில் "நட்பு" ல "மறப்போம்- மன்னிப்போம்" என்பதெல்லாம் கெடயாது. There should not be anything to forgive or forget! May be "coworkers", "boss-employee", "husband-wife", "lovers" போன்றவர்கள் இடையில் வரும் "misunderstandings" எல்லாம் சரிபடுத்தலாம். அதே இது "friendship"க்குள்ள வந்தால் அது வேற!"

"எல்லாருக்குமே அப்படியா? உங்களுக்கு மட்டுமா?"

"எனக்கு மட்டும்தான். ஆனால் எல்லாரும் இப்படித்தான் உணரனும்னு நான் நெனைக்கிறேன்! "ஒரு காலத்தில் நண்பர்" னு விட்டுட்டு போயிட்டே இருக்கனும்"
