Chatting or Talking.

Which one would you prefer?

Both has its pros and cons.

I think chatting is easy and you get a moment to think about what you wanna reply and re-read your answer. The only thing I dislike about chatting is that, it sometimes leads to miscommunications because we don't get the tone of the message that we receive and it all turns out bad. I think we all have experienced that atleast once.

Where as when you are on the phone talking, it gets uncomfortable to speak for hours at a stretch. Also you give instant replies which maybe dangerous sometimes. The plus point is that you get to hear their voice and also hear the emotions in their voice.

Personally, I prefer chatting.

Its been almost 8 years since Akki and I have been friends and there has been only a handful times that we have actually talked on the phone.

We chat for hours, sometimes till 3 in the morning, but when it comes to talking I just can't.

Well, he didn't leave the chance to tell me that I can't talk on the phone.

"You never call. Why don't you like to talk on phone? I just don't understand idiot." He would text me.

And I would be like, "I just got habituated to texting you Akki."

That is the truth and also the fact that I require time to openly talk on the phone because you like don't get to see the other person's reaction and it's just complicated.

But one day I finally decided 'No Shalini, you gotta talk. Just get this over with.'

I was chatting with Akki when he again told me how I don't call him at all. So I just called him and spoke till 3 in the morning.

That was new and kind of nice.

Who am I kidding! It was freaking awesome.

There is this difference when you are speaking to someone at night and then falling asleep.

It's just cute and nice.

Actually I don't think words are enough to explain that feeling you get when you talk for hours with someone you are too close to.

The thing is now everything has changed.

Once upon a time we used to barely talk but text all the time.

And now, I search for reasons to call him and hear his voice.

Describing his voice is hard. He has this serious tone to his voice and doesn't share much about himself but answers any question I ask him. His laugh is very infectious. Whenever I say something dumb and he laughs I just can't help myself and grin like an idiot. He teases me like hell and laughs and that makes me happy even if he is grilling me like an idiot. You should hear his voice when he gets mad. It's like Satan himself is talking to you from hell. And when he is happy I can literally hear his smile in his voice. I know it's weird.

The thing is I like talking to him even if we speak nothing.

But sometimes I end up saying something stupid and dumb and piss him off and that's how mostly our conversations end in a bad way.
