kuch is tarah

My friends always say im absent minded but i usually ward off their argument with my i-was-thinking-something attitude. Unfortunately, there are some events which doesn't want to fade away without notice.

I had raised a ticket complaining about the noise in my laptop. The technician had suggested for a fan replacement and today he called me up to inform that my laptop was ready. On the way to the tp center i met one of my friend. It took me sometime to smile back to her since i was in the process of brainstorming on where i have met her. Guess i have a pretty good database in stock, it fetched the necessary details as fast as it can. She was one of my school friend. We smiled as we neared and said "hi" (we were still walking) and i just passed her! I just PASSED her without saying anything!! I have no idea why i dint stop. I could see the puzzled look in her face. I turned back for a second chance, a very much needed chance to alter my dumb act, but it was too late. I tried calling her name....... hmmmm.....  guess it needed another database query :( by the time i knew her name, i could just see fragile image of her.. so i just walked away.

Even while writing this post im still wondering why the hell i dint stop and talk to her. well, i still dont have a clue.

Note: I was just googling the word "Absent mindedness" in wikipedia. It says,

Absent-mindedness can refer to three very different things: a low level of attention ("blanking" or “zoning out”); intense attention to a single object of focus (hyperfocus) that makes them oblivious to events around them; or unwarranted distraction of attention from the object of focus by irrelevant thoughts or environmental events.

Guess what? I have all those qualities :P
