Sri Ramakrishna chats

‘Hello Sampurnananda’ the chat box said. The sender’s name read Thakur Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.
‘ASL please’ I typed.
‘What??? Alright, 170 M Ramakrishna Loka’
I sat up with a start.
‘Who are you really, a machine or a joker?’ I asked
‘Hello, look up my name. It is the one courtesy of which you are wearing your unworthy gerua’ the chat box said.
`Do you really like putting your prefix and suffix along with your name?’ I asked.
`Here I am showing up and chatting with you, and you have nothing else to ask?’ Thakur said.
‘I just asked off the cuff. I hope to ask better questions in future’ I typed.
‘You are very tricky. You want me to commit to chatting with you again’ Thakur said.
‘What? Are you cutting away from me after just one chat? I would like to write a lot of 273s out of you.’
‘What???? Here I am in communion with you and all you want is a silly story?’
`I thought this will please you better than asking for a dispensary where doctors gets to meet patients frequently or a hostel or school in Ramakrishna Loka lines instead of your earlier Goloka types’ I typed.
`I am fond of my earlier version. I sometimes miss my Pals. I thought I found one in you’ Thakur typed with a special smiley (expressing complaint) next to the text, which didn’t show up offline.
‘I am indeed your Pal. I do have some type of dung in my head. Is that why you chose to chat with me tonight?’ I queried.
‘Tell you later’ the box flashed and faded.
