It was last Tuesday. I was reading an article in cricinfo.com in my office. I saw in my monitor that someone is coming towards me. I turned back and found the person who sits next to my cube. He was about to ask something to me. He is seated next to my cube for the past 2 months. I havent exchanged a single "Hi" or "Hello" till now. He went ahead and asked
Him: When is the 2nd Test against Bangladesh starting?
Me: It is on coming friday
Him: Oh. You know, I am a regular watcher of this site(cricinfo).
Me: Oh. (I didnt know what to say next. So just stopped with that. I think he too didnt expect anything other than an acknowledgement)
Him: Ok, you carry on.
He left to his seat. He is a regular viewer of cricinfo. He could have very well gone there and checked the schedule. Why did he ask me then. Is it that i always have cricinfo.com in my monitor whenever he sees. No, it cant be. coz, Post-World Cup, i am not spending more than 10 minutes per day in cricinfo.
Or, is it that he indirectly want to mean "you didnt bother to say a 'Hi' atleast once to the person sitting near you for nearly 2 months, Ok, let me initiate atleast now".. hmm, No, i am assuming too much.
Or, am i making too much out of this nothing incident just for the sake of writing this post. hmm. could it be?. err.. ..I am confused.
