I am playing chess. A chat window pops up:
Friend (6:40:33 AM): hey
Friend (6:41:15 AM): you there?
Friend (6:41:42 AM): helllllooo
Friend (6:42:26 AM): HELLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO!!
I think of replying "enda mayiru kathra?", but I pause. I minimize the chat window and continue my game.
Suresh (7:10:53 PM): Sorry, I wasn't around when you messaged me earlier.

subhash - yeah, people still use MSN/Yahoo/Gtalk etc., stuff that don't require a browser.
Yahoo stopped the 'private rooms' service a long time ago. Mostly because of the NAMBLA type rooms. It's been years since I entered a chat room, so I'm not sure about the graakis. But I'm sure some things are still the same.
Padma - Thanks, you're welcome. I'll be glad you read your other comments too.
Bharath - dei! unna solluvana. ni evalo rejent'ana fellow. Besides, when was the last you messaged me? Jan 2008? :P
Where do you play chess? Please invite me there.
Go here: http://www.freechess.org/
You need a non-generic email ID to create an account in their server (your university/work email should do).
You then download one of their interfaces (Babaschess is what I use, and I would recommend it too). You can take it over from there.
