A Letter
Dear Pretty Girl Running Around Sankey Tank who was being stared at by a Weird Guy,
Hi. I am that weird guy. I know it sounds creepy and horrible that I am writing a letter to you, but I really felt the need to explain my actions to you. I was guilt-ridden when I realised what the whole incident must have seemed like from your perspective.
I realise that you must have seen me running in from a distance. Well, at least, I saw you running in from a distance. I realise that when you saw me staring at you, you must've begun cursing me, muttering under your breath. You must've been complaining about how an averagely pretty girl cant even run in a park without being stared at by random men. You must've been wondering how desperate the menfol in this country get, and how dirty their thought process is. You must've been fulminating against the backwardness, conservatism and horniness of Indian society and culture.
Well, I wanted to explain my actions. You see, I don't usually stare at women. (There are notable exceptions. But they are, well, notable!) I didn't stare at you because you are a pretty girl running around a lake. I never stare at someone just because she is pretty. I stared at you because you looked remarkably like a friend of mine who now lives in the US. The resemblance is almost as striking Rohit and Raj, Seeta and Geeta, Michael, Madan, Kaman and Rajan, Omprakash and Om Kapoor, the Prince and the Pauper. The resemblance, funnily enough, doesn't end with your face, you are about the same height and weight as her also. For almost ten seconds, I thought I was watching her! Which is why I stared at you curiously. I don't think you noticed, but I smiled when you came closer. That's because I realised that you were actually someone else. I apologise profusely for any inconvenience caused.
This letter is also to tell you that if you are actually Don, then beware. The police have a Vijay waiting for you. They'll just capture you and replace you with my friend. And then, she'll destroy your gang.
Thanking You,
Swaroop
Update: Just realised. This is my 100th post! Yay! Is it significant that the tags for this one are 'incidents, ramblings, women'?

not if you count the remake... decisions, decisions.. :P
teehee.. if she were to actually read this open letter, she would've probably said "tell me something new, dude!!"
for some mysterious reason, people who stare at others almost always unfailingly know someone who's jusssst the same in looks! strange, no? :P
@woenvu
Yes. I understand. But in this case, Vijay isn't really a street bumpkin. She can handle herself. :P
@usha
Haha. Very true. Its a convenient excuse. Although, I must state that on this occasion, it is true!
@varali
Just realised - you know this friend!
Dear Pretty Girl,
Dont fall for this. The next time he stares at you, he will say he wasn't wearing glasses and thus had to look long and hard to overcome the blur :)
Sharan, we all assume so easily that she will come across this blog and that she will read this and know that she is the one being referred to, and respond accordingly!
something similar happened to me last evening - was at UTPT, and at the gen quiz, this woman who'd qualified bore a stunning resemblance to someone i am/used to be acquainted with. lurking-staring ensued. tee hee.
The funny part is when you stare (for whatever reasons) and the girl notices that you're staring and keeps staring back, and you wonder why she's staring and stare back and so on and so forth...
Would you say all the mean things you've said about this girl about the original also?
I wonder who the original is though.
"Is it significant that the tags for this one are 'incidents, ramblings, women'?" - err, maybe not
Dont lie. This was Swarupama.
A.X.
@Bird
You know who the original is. I've told you. I've also told you that the original is super-azhagi, and such things will never be said about her.
@RR
No? That is sad. If someone paid me for rambling on incidents and women, I'd retire immediately.
@Arun who likes to call himself Ax
Haha. How's your practice going? Are you practicising well?
