It's about puppy-face

Haven't I ever told you about puppy-face, i think they call him Ulky down at the factory. But I always call him puppy-face and when its really urgent its more like pups, but if you are addressing him you might as well call him Ulky, he's really shy when people get over-familiar with him. It happens to him often, especially when there are these girls, really sweet and cute ones who come fawning all over him, more often than not hoping to get a favour past him! He does them sometimes and sometimes he gets rather bored and escapes to the Labs. He has his computer down at the Labs and he takes on a different persona from there. Guess what, he is no longer the shy puppy-face that all know him as, he becomes Rhodes, the king of hearts! Its his cyber profile at one of the chat rooms as that of the dude who can get started with any girl in there! So he goes cyber-dating, haven't heard of it? Oh you aren't missing much at all if you have dates in the real world, but if you dont and badly want that extra zing in your life then you can be content with the cyber ones. They are quite harmless, much harmless than the real ones and requires a lot less effort, especially on the physical front. [Hmm, if you are one of those who've never cyber dated heres more _ To start with its a general chat room, where in you logon with a name, I guess I dont need to tell you that it can be your own or one taken on. Once you're in, you'll find general conversations in progress and for starting off, you could just join and contribute... just like how it happens at the factory canteen. Then going by the views exchanged or simply by the name itself, if you feel intrigued by any of the other participants, you could invite them to a private conversation. And once both of you are on good terms and willing to proceed further into this cyber relationship(!) you can go on dates by deciding the next time to logon together etc... I guess I dont need to tell you what all you might be wanting to share or not share at all with your cyber date, but its kinda fun! So if you haven't done it ever, you could just try it once, for experience sake, as they say!]



In between all this did I forget my hero puppy-face? Hmm, ok so puppy-face usually logged on as Rhodes and dated either Rose or Rumi or Pink or Tara or just hung around and chatted with the rest in the general chatroom. But what was most fun about puppy-face as Rhodes was that he had this huge backpack of confidence strapped on when he went in there and the things he said and the things he said he did were in stark contrast with the real puppy-face. To begin with he'd greet all with this huge amount of cheer and merry tone, totally unlike how he greeted us every morning, with a shy, can't-I-be-invisible-oh-u-spotted-me tone, that made him go all pink and sweaty. There's more... Oh but I think am telling you not the best things about puppy-face and drawing a not-so-neat picture of him. Somehow when you talk of someone's double self, they cease to be simple and hence they cease to be safe and hence they cease to be decent to know anymore. I wish I could tell you how nice it is to know puppy-face actually, he's this all helpful, all ears for your cribs kind of friend. I kind of depend on him because there aren't too many such folks down at the factory, and try my best to overlook his double self, hehehe. And you know what, he doesn't quite know that I know about Rhodes. So how did I find that out... psst its quite a secret. I might give it out someday, or maybe not, but first you promise me that you'll like puppy-face, otherwise am not gonna tell you more about him. :)
