#164 …when he calls when he says he's going to call and shows up when he says he will.


Little did Mr Bell think that his invention or rather the manners of the users of his invention would one day be used to define love.
I was exasperated with friends not returning calls. And it was the same with family members. I started hating signals and networks. So when Madhur stood out of the league with his prompt replies, it was like sun shining through grey clouds. Months later, when I had fallen for his warm, garrulous and mysterious ways, did he admit that he always had a soft spot for me. I immediately had it. Laid bare. The reason behind his promptness to stay connected in this unconnected world.  Today, those very wireless cords and signals, mobile phone towers and telecom servers, convert his bytes of data into messages which are warmer and creamier than the cocoa from Starbucks.
