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.
