what is ttyl?

It was a monday in the festive season I had been called to office just to do some sort of knowledge transfer before I could  go for a much awaited vacationn by me. Although I could have left the previous weekend if I didn't had to be there on monday for that some out of the world KT damn I don't know why people have so much dependency upon some one, I mean it has been almost 6 months when last I was on a planned vacation and then too people in my team felt as if they have done a favour or some sort of boon by allowing me to utilise my hard earned vacations... wait a minute this post is not abt all this crap!! So as I wasvery much bored up and frustrated too so I decided to roam here and there with friends or write something sitting there but I had such a frustation inside me that sitting at one place nearly became impossible and as expected it was a monday so frnds from the office where busy in planning there weeks work, and as usual meetings. So I had a lots of time too kill!!

Well I had time but no Idea what to do so then I thought of a great idea... I thought of why not chat with 'rab ji' so then I started preparing my self. It took two visits to SZ and three cups of tea and four to five times I had to go to the loo to get free from natural calls so that they don't disturb me when I'm in middle of any converstion with 'rab ji'. Oh ahh  boring monday at office suddenly got filled with so much excitement and such a levelof annxiety got engrossed into me.

It took me two hours beefor I could pinged her!! then I said 'Hi ******' and started praying hey god please please... I must  get a reply this time then in anxiety I sent another message 'Hey you there?' then I got the reply 'yes' followed by 'h' followed by '*hi' and I thought is she in hurry to somewhere or much busy and relaized 'damn! I have once again caught her in wrong time...', you know every time I collect some courage to talk to her it's my hard luck that very moment she is busy with her work :(  Anways this time she started replying the cht lasted for some time or so. Then she said
'hey i'm lil busy'
'wud ttyl'

hmmm 'ttyl' what is this? I was in a position of shock and awe!!, shock because I was left with no answer and awe because I had no clue what did 'wud ttyl' meant. Now what do I have? I asked my self and started figuring out ttyl... hmmm... is it titali (butterfly)? nah why all of a sudden she would say 'wud titali' I mean it doesn't at all makes sense. After that to many thoughts started crossing my head and then I relized I have my very intelligent blood relation from the fairer sex on the other side of another chat window... hey she must be knowing what is ttyl. Suddenly I was having my phone in my hand and the next no i dialled was of her.

me: Hey, chat window dekh..
She: kya hua?
me:bas dekh..
She: ye kya hai?
me: ye mujhe mer rab jee neping kiya hai.
She: to?
me: Iska kya matlab hai?
She: Mujhe kya interprator samjh rakha hai... bhag jaa yahan se.. mere pass koi kaam nahi hai lekin tere pass to hai kar shanti se..
me: plz bata de dost... plzz...
She: arrey dumbo itna bada ho gaya aur iss lingo ka matlab bhi nhi pta hai.
me: Arey nahi pata hai isiliye to pucha hai bata de...
She: She meant that she would talk to you later i.e. 'wud ttyl'.
me: is it so?
She: haan!
me: chal phone rakh jaldi se.
She: haan cal bhag ja and ab paise lagenge interprate karne ke!!

ok! so she meant would talk to you later... hmmm... damn ye kya hai? I'm so poor in this lingo!! but hey gr8... It took me around half an hour and even help from someone, so what is the point in using such lingo or is this at all a valid question to be asked? or rather it should be that is it at all a good idea to chat with someone without knowing all this lingo that is being used this days? Once again she intricate my thoughts!!
