“Who is that messaging you so late in the night?” Mind you, it was just a while past 11:15 pm.
Arey yaar, you just can’t stop yourself from being amused on reading a joke-sms. You tend to smile, usually alone – simply because the others around don’t know about the joke. Butterflies start fluttering in your stomach and you giggle.. by yourself, in a very controlled manner, yet displaying external signs of your amusement to the others around.
Things get worse if you just can’t read out the joke, aloud. You quickly want to share it with someone and select the ‘forward’ option and there it goes..
Within no time.. rather, at an unexpected time.. you hear mom’s voice..
“Who is that messaging you so late in the night?”
You hear.. “Who is that still awake?”
You to mom – “Chill mom! Am just forwarding, not chatting.”
You to yourself – mom! Its just past 11. Don’t expect everyone to go to sleep so early. Am the only one, ********, of that kind. The world is out there, totally awake and alive!
Just then you get a chat-sms – a comment, probably, on that joke u just forwarded. And you are in a fix of mixed emotions. Expressions dont know what to say.
Yes, your heart jumps, eager to continue the chat. But first your eyes look at mom’s whereabouts, the fingers waiting desperately to start playing on the keypad.
If the field is clear, you enjoy the singles.. else, grumble on your invisible handicap! : )

Your mom would definitely not approve of what the kids do when staying independently then- messaging till the wee hours in the morning, during classes, in office, in the loo, while eating, reading, walking even. Practically every waking moment of your life.
Been there, done that. Now I'm over and above the mudane acts of forwarding/text chatting and such. Make the most of it while you can, kid! :P
You know, for memories' sake :)
