messaging never stops!!

I was walking up the stairs with a friend and couldn't help noticing that he was texting away all the while. He did not fit into the stereotype i had in my head. Teenage kids, young college going guys/girls and at the last end of the spectrum, 20 somethings in love!!!

This guy is a proud father of a new born baby, having crossed all the mentioned phases. But he is my colleague and seemed out of place in the formal environment smiling and texting away responses as if he were a love struck college kid.

Well he gave me new perspective... Complexities of a stage in life I am not yet into.

Having courted, and fought against the north and south divide, these two managed to set up their family life in Bangalore. Almost simillar to chetan bhagat's "2 states" story with the guy being from south and the girl from north. Now they live with guys parents. With the baby around both side in-laws are here and the two love birds are missing their quality time together.
With the kid staying awake most of the night, my friend has to sleep in a separate room so that he can make it to office next morning.

The only thing that comes to their rescue is SMS. Not limited to the sweet nothings that the couple shares but its kind of instant updates on what the baby is doing :)
