Forgive and forget?

It is weird how things just happened in a way that I landed with this topic.
The first idea of a post came when I read this story in the newspaper. For those too lazy to visit the link, it speaks of a accident victim who had a pipe lodged in his neck and chest saying he doesn't have any grudges against the driver who dashed into him and has chosen to forgive him. It think it's a great gesture and should be talked about all over to get such a thing as forgiveness to be considered among virtues again. I believe it's not looked up to as much anymore and the one who can give back is the only one who is respected...as I've talked about in an earlier post.
So, anyway..This got me thinking about doing a post about forgiveness.
Then as I came online today, a real close friend of my past msged me. Now this guy was pretty close to me when he went abroad for studies. It's been 4 yrs since he's talked to me.It started with him not replying me on msngr. I did scrap him on orkut a few times but without a reply. I even complained but to no avail except for a cool 'just been a bit busy' reply. Whereas I got to know he's in touch with other friends of his... Felt hurt. Felt angry. It surely wasn't just because he was too busy. I still wished him on his b'day. So did another girl from our school. She got a 'thanks. howz life?' reply. I didn't. Today he msged to me. I didn't know what to say. Whether to bring up the topic or no. I'd decided to put it behind me. Talked to him a bit and then when I couldn't hold it any longer,
Me:so u remembered me after years!! I thought u'd ve forgotten me now..
Him:Aise kaise bholta re.
Me:U knew this was coming.
Him:Ya
Me:Hmmm
Him:It's a thing we all went our way and then we stumbled upon new things and new commitments but that doesnt make u forget old friends dude.
Him:It's just we cud not speak for a long time.
Me:I did scrap you few times and never got a reply.
Him:I don't reply any1 unless its a hot chick :P.

And that's when I couldn't say anything further. I didn't wanna argue with such stupid excuses. I just let it go.

Me:Ok...anyway what happened happened..Howz life?

That didn't mean I was completely ok with it. Hardly. He doesn't really seem like a close friend anymore. That brings me to forgiveness. Should I? Could I? I don't know...I don't know if I'd be able to forget it.

And while I was going through this mess, another thing sprung up. I am a member at an online singing and networking site. I am not a very good singer. But I think I m still good. I compose and write my own songs and sing them. Anyway...This middle aged bloke came out of nowhere and commented 'Stop singinging'(I kept his typo intact). This guy's a big Kishore fan and has supposedly recorded an album singing Kishore's songs in a Kishore's voice. As I saw his profile, dude has been to everyone's songs and advised something or the other to everyone in a condescending way. I was already livid. I heard his recording. It was good. No doubt. But it was in 'Kishore's Voice'. I hate such people. As I have mentioned in this post I can't respect someone who can't believe in himself and has to imitate someone to try to be good. Here too, I tried to forgive. Tried to be morally superior and not be affected. But couldn't.
I commented: "Nicely sung indeed...but everyone likes Kishore coz he was himself...try not to let your liking for Kishoreda influence your voice."
I wondered if it was enough.
I wrote this as my reply to his comment:"Thanks for your suggestion...appreciate it. :)" thought hard whether I should let it be or write something else but went throught it all again and decided to add "I don't think I would take it though especially from a mimickry artist.”

I couldn't again....
I would love to know what you guys think I should've done...
Be honest. I promise, I will forgive you...:)
I m waiting.


P.S. Deleted my reply to the comment. Just seemed wrong.
