- Will you shut down the computer and get back to your room??
-Mama, five minutes more, I've got something to check...

This is what we find in every house these days. Computer has become a 'need', not a facility. Guys spend most of their time surfing the net, chatting,and playing 3D games. I hate playing games when I've a opportunity to chat! I like playing up with my PC but I've developed a keen interest in chatting and net surfing. Chatting has become my daily routine and I feel odd if I've to spend a single day without it. Recently I fell sick but I had my brother check my mails for me! I've made hundreds of friends through chat but out of them only few had a chance to know me well.

Guys talk about having a 'cyber affair' and surprisingly even I was once infatuated. I once bluffed my friend, a very close friend of mine who lives in U.K about something. He took the matter so seriously that I later felt guilty. He tried his best to help me out and I also happened to behave as if he was my savior from heaven. I started liking him and I did disclose the fact. The bluff became a boon for me because he told me how much he had started loving me from that day of confession. At first we thought it was love, I experienced the most beautiful thing on earth. Life was full of happiness and nothing could change the feeling of love between us. We had a different view towards life though, we thought it was no use knowing a person outside in when we know them inside out and were happy even though we were miles away. We didn't consider the distance to be much of a problem. The more we chatted the more intense our feelings became. He was in the U.K and me here in Nepal studying in the 10th grade. The pressure of studies kept me away from mailing him. I didn't mail him nor did he try to know what was the reason for the delay. We both completely forgot about the love we shared. We had developed a very good and a healthy 'love life' after chatting for more than one year. We used to write three mails a day, but now it has dropped to '0' mails a month.

I feel stupid falling for a guy through the net, with a person who lived thousands of miles away, whom I had never met, who is not sure of his love and doesn't take the trouble to find out what's going on in my life. I've realized that falling in love is not a piece of cake and one should never play around with anyone's feelings. What we feel at this stage is just infatuation, which is like a bubble in the air. It's something that nobody can avoid; a phase of love. I believe I was in love with his font! What do you guys think?! I stop hear with a question for all the teenagers reading this, are you ABOUT to fall for a chat friend?

*Just a friendly note -beware!
