A sweet episode with that voice.
So this guy Azim, *drools* has this heavenly voice. Who Azim? *drools some more* Read on.
A boring night as always.
I was busy distracting myself into the ocean of Internet.
Nothing to do at all. Toggled between Twitter and Facebook. Opened few pages
that popped as an ad or something. One such ad was about a University.
Some Online Distance MBA from certain recognized university.
Out of curiosity, I browsed through the website. Nay! Didn't find anything
worth. All of a sudden a chat window appeared with something written (I don't
remember the entire thing, so I better not mention it here) in the bottom right
corner of the screen. This is the usual place to find the chat boxes in almost
every (random) website these days. Well, this Live Chat facility helps the customers
or say, prospective customers to inquire and get help.
Wait, where am I taking this to! I'm not writing a blog to
discuss the pros and cons of a Live Chat box. Do'h!
Back to the point; I started typing in the chat box. Few
greetings later, I was busy throwing queries at the associate who was chatting
with me. Various queries, real ones too. Just to let that person know that I'm
quite serious about doing a distance MBA. Hahaha!
Everything done, I asked the Associate AZIM to e-mail me the
prospectus and the various details I should be informed about regarding the
admissions and fees and everything. I never checked my e-mail. I saw an e-mail
but ignored. Of course, I was NOT interested.
Few days later I get a call, and I hear the most heavenly
voice over phone. The guy introduced himself and reminded me about our chat.
Damn, I fell for his voice right then. The best thing was, he spoke with
fluency and with no grammatical mistake (maybe I didn't notice 'coz his voice was...umm…delicious :P ). And, I'm a sucker for smooth English. He did not stammer or searched for
words. He was so comfortable in the language he was talking. Ah!
I made few excuses about financial issues and asked for some
time. I told him I would get back to him within that week. I never did. Then, I
disconnected and forgot. I'm always this distracted.
He called up again sometime later, with the same heavenly
voice! I told him that I'm in a fix if I should opt for a distance course or
not. Gave him fake excuses and asked for some more time. By now, I clearly
wanted him to call me again. Hehe. Then, one perfect starry night, I searched for
the university's name (yes, I had totally forgotten the details) on Google as I
couldn't find the details in the mail-box. Found it and started to chat.
This time it was some Manisha over the chat. I bluntly told
her I wanted to talk to Azim as I need to discuss few things and I didn't want
to go through the pain of explaining my situation to her all over again. She
transferred the chat to Azim. I chatted and confidently asked about the fees
structure and stuff just to sound more determined this time. Gosh! I'm so fake.
Later, in about a week's time he gave me a call again and I
told him that I wouldn't be able to join the current batch. Not just that, so
that he could keep calling me, I added that I would think of joining the batch
from December. :D
His voice is such a creamy bowl of something.
He gave me a call last night. I told him that I'll not be
opting for any distance course whatsoever. He suggested me to go for a regular
course instead. I gave him some philosophical shit about why I'm not interested in
MBAs and then told him my plan instead. We chatted along. In the end, he wished
me luck for my future endeavors and disconnected. How I wish I could talk to
him forever. Alas!
P.S.:- It's just a random episode of my life. Nothing very serious or funny. I do not want to convey anything. NOTHING. Not even that I flirt with almost everybody. :D :D
