 Blogging Husbands and Longing Wives!



Yesterday I came to know that my friend Vikram (MARKIV14) has completed one year period blogging in Fropper. Many friends congratulated him, asked for party. I didn’t congratulate him; I wished to do it in the party, thinking he throws a big party on this occasion.  I know his mind, I am sure of the Blogging ceremony. I didn’t get the invitation phone call either from Vikram or from his wife Gita (Gita and me were classmates cum friends in the college, we are friends even today). No need of invitations among friends, I thought. Decided to attend the party and surprise them.



So today I came early from office. Went to beauty parlor. Took facial, pedicure and manicure. I am going to party. I am sure of presence of many friends and many others too in the party. So I should go with neat dressing and good make-up. Beautician knows my style. She applied light make-up. Long hairs were left free. Few hairs were taken from sides of each of the ear, tied it with golden thread and then decorated it with several pearls. Recently Kajol saris entered the market. I took parrot colored one worth Rs.10,000/- It has got rich bead work as border. When I looked into mirror, I was very much impressed by beautician’s work. Hair style looked fantastic with this sari. My free hairs appeared like dark sky and that thin long decorated plait represented a bunch of stars falling from sky to the earth. It was already 5PM, drove my esteem to Vikram’s home and reached there by 6.16PM.



No body was present there. Thought party not yet started. No party atmosphere. I could not trace even Gita and Kiran (their kid). Doubt entered into mind. Searched for Vikram. I found him in his study room. He was with computer. When I reached nearer him, I found him writing comments in Fropper.



I said “Hey Vikram…congratulations for one year completion in Fropper”.

He didn’t turn to me. I repeated it with bigger voice. No response.

This time I yelled “Vikram”.

It gave a push to his seat.

Turned back and looked at me with a surprise and said “Sneha…is it you? I can’t believe.”

I smiled and repeated my old dialogue “Congratulations for one year completion in Fropper, came here to attend the party. Every one wished, I am expecting them here”

Excited by my words, he told me to look at the screen and started narrating “Sneha…see…many friends over here. They are giving me bouquets, flowers, cakes and compliments. I am so happy. See the festive atmosphere. U know I never celebrated any party in a grand way like this.

See..this big cake. Wow…wonderful flowers”

He continuously narrated every thing present on the screen and then slowly became calm and became busy in giving reply comments.



I felt very unhappy.

I came here to show my dressing and to get compliments from them.

The people on the other side of the screen can’t see my dressing.

Thinking about the dinner in the party, I didn’t take full lunch.

I am feeling hungry now. Those cakes on the screen can’t fulfill my empty stomach.

With a weak voice I said “OK Vikram, I am leaving now”.

I know he never look back and say Bye.



Came out with disappointment.

When I was stepping out of their main gate, I met with Gita and Kiran. They are carrying a gift pack.

Gita said with beaming face “Hey Parrot (starting from college days we developed this habit, we call the other person with a name related to dress color)…what a surprise, I am so happy you know”.

I got angry “But I am not happy shining silver (Gita was in party wear). I came here to attend party on Vikram’s first anniversary with Fropper. But he is showing flowers, cakes and wine on the screen and telling me to eat those cakes and drink that wine. How are you managing him yaar?”

She laughed. “Sneha…this is everyday show for us. Whenever we want to ask him some thing or want to get his attention on family matter, you know what we do?.”

She looked at Kiran. Then both laughed. I became curious and asked “Tell me…tell me”.

Kiran giggled and said “we play lot of tricks aunty. One day we pulled out the internet cable. The other day we took off the fuse of the apartment”.

Gita laughed and said “at least within the period of search of fault outs, he is in this world and listen to our words”.

“Every day we invent some method to get his attention from blogging pages to us aunty” Kiran giggled again.

I too giggled “Wow Kiran…with this innovative training, you will certainly become a great engineer”.

As his friend came, Kiran said bye to us and joined his friend on bike.





Gita took my hand and said “Any way you came here. Let us go for attending a marriage reception of my neighbor Sirisha”.

Looking at my hesitation, she said “Hey don’t worry. She is a good friend to me. Certainly welcomes your presence there”.

When we reached there, we found several women with colorful saris and sparkling ornaments. I felt like I entered into a rose garden.

But to my surprise no man was present apart from bride groom.

We reached the couple. Gita introduced me to Sirisha. Pretty Sirisha introduced me and Gita to her husband Ram. We conveyed our good wishes and presented a wall decorating article and a bouquet to couple.



Then we moved towards a group of ladies who were in group discussion.

Gita knows many of them. She introduced me to them.

They introduced themselves. Some are wives of Ram’s colleagues and some are Sirisha’s friends. We found two college friends there. We hugged each other with over joy of meeting after many years.

After settling over there, I could not resist to ask them.

“Where are your husbands? Nobody is seemed to present here.”

One lady said “that’s what we are discussing”.

Another lady asked “are you not married?”

Gita replied “she does not have interest in marriage. She is spinster”.

Another lady giggled and said “that’s the reason for your surprise over absence of men in party”.

I nodded with a smile and showed unsuppressed curiosity to learn the reason for their absence.

They all laughed at once and said “they are with their computers, busy in blogging”.

I felt like 1000 watt electric shock and screamed “all are busy in blogging?”

I know from their introduction that all those men were highly educated and most of them are officers, team managers, directors etc.

The bride groom Ram hardly stayed on the dais to receive the wishes and left the place saying he got call from his boss to attend urgent board meeting. Sirisha also joined us.

I asked her “what Sirisha…attending board meeting on wedding reception day? Can’t he avoid that meeting at least on this special day”

Gita said “Hush…theirs is love marriage, she knows about him”

Sirisha smiled and said “I know there is no board meeting today. He ran to some lonely place where he can blog and share his jokes on all of us”.

We all shared laughs at her sportive spirit.



My friend Sarita said “I am happy with my blogging husband. You know the reason? After office, he spends most of his hours in blogging. By the time he reaches dinner plate, he gets exhausted, so, no comments on my dishes. I am happy because I am not an expert in cooking”, she laughed aloud.

Another lady expressed her sadness “I wish my husband to praise my cooking talent. But he never checks what dishes I prepared. He eats like he has to eat.just for survival”

I said “I am also unhappy you know…I wish to see men to praise my dress sense”.

All women joined me as a chorus…”Yes…we are also very upset with our husbands. They are not looking at us. No compliments on our dressing, hair styles, cooking. We are very upset”.

One woman started crying. “My husband even forgot that he is married and father of two children. Never considers me even as an object at home. Always laughs and talks only to that computer. It became his second and sweet wife. He is happy with the computer. Remaining time he behaves like he lost some thing. He is not even sleeping with me for last several days. I reported it to my elders. No one can do anything on him because I can’t prove him guilty”.

Another friend Anu said “all these men are highly educated, well mannered persons. They are not addicted to alcohol or smoking or women. They are not harassing their women. They are not arguing with them. They are not shouting at them.”

I added my point “then what is wrong with them? Hmm…they may be living in virtual world. They may be creating their soul mates or peaceful world in that virtual world and sharing all their joy and sorrows to virtual mates by writing blogs. I mean they may be virtually leading life with them. They are simply moving away from real world.”

All agreed to my view.



Meanwhile we friends contacted our close friend Snigdha. She appears just like an angel. In those college days several boys tried to get her attention. She never showed arrogance with us. This is the main reason we simply love her. She fell in love with our university topper Srikar. They got married immediately after studies. Srikar entered into civil services and at present she is working as Manager in a public limited company. Due to busy schedules, these days we friends didn’t make even phone calls. When she heard our voices, screamed with joy and said she is at airport to give send off to her cousin who is leaving for US. Then said within half an hour she can join us.



While taking dinner, a woman invited us to attend a ritual. Any how we friends are in a mood to spend some time at some place. So we decided to attend it. Within half an hour Snigdha joined us. “Hey parrot…how r u?” She gave bear hug. She was in light rose color sari. It was matching with her pink skin color. She was just like an angel. Every person looked at her as special guest. I told “what rosy, even after becoming mother to two kids, u r maintaining your body shape and giving competition to me. If this is the case, who will look at me, say.” Every one joined us in laughing. She hugged all our friends. Then, we started to the home to which that woman invited us.



We, friends met after several years. So, we recollected our college days. Gita sat in driving seat, I kept Back street boys music. We became children. After some time, I asked Snigdha “tell me Snigdha…how is Srikar? Does he blog?”

She said “oh he is very fine with blogging”

“Snigdha…yours was a love marriage. He ran after you and tried in several ways to get you impression and at last won your heart. Now, how can he neglect you? Don’t you get angry?”

She laughed “So many questions Sneha. I don’t get angry. I am also enjoying blogging.”

“what” we all said at once.

She continued “yaar…I love Srikar very much. I realized that he became busy with virtual world. So, I too created my id as Kalpana and started commenting his blogs. We became close friends there. Whatever I write, he appreciates it. He shares all his inner soft feelings, worries, what not…every thing. Listens to my suggestions. What I wish him to do in real world, I am getting all those things in virtual world from the same person whom I love a lot. He can’t get doubt on me because I never use computer at home, give all replies from my office. In one sentence, I can say he is in deep love in virtual world with Kalpana…that is me. So, 15 years after marriage, we fell in love again but in virtual with other identities. I love him, can’t leave him alone” She laughed again.



When we reached that place, women over there came out to invite into home. Inside that home so many were present. They sat on mats. At the center a computer was placed. Beside it was an Idol of our God Ganesh. They started performing pooja.

It went like this:

“Oh God, let those blogging ladies leave our men.

We love our men…we wish to argue with them.

We wish to see them back to shout at us…we like it.

We wish to see them back to pass admiring looks at us…we love it.

We wish to see them back to treat us as we are innocents…we enjoy it

We wish to see them back to comment on our dressing…we like it.

We need their comments and compliments, hugs and kisses.

With out them this world is nothing to us,

Please God, we love our men, we need them,

Please send them back to us from those virtual wives.”


While coming back to home, I thought "when will these blogging men meet their longing wifes?"
