sorry.. couldn't talk to u yesterday.. i had gone to manna's place.. guys are born with the skill to flirt, i guess.. my kid nephew is no different.. he kept kissing me .. confused, i asked him the reason for that peck on my cheek. he blushed and said " coz you are a girl.."i was left speechless. At a boy's school they learn their gentlemanly mannerisms quite early..
sitting there like a frozen prawn in manna’s bedroom, I was listening to my kid cousin discussing philosophies of life. Snippets of the chat:
1.jui: you miss your girl? I mean do you miss her when you have fun and she’s not with you?
Cousin: I never miss anyone. Kya karega miss karke..I can have fun with her too, some other time.
2.cousin: you have seen goldfishes? They only have a second’s memory. Hence they survive in the bowl. Every time they see the glass, they are like, “ arrey ye kya hai?…arrey ye kya hai? .. arrey ye kya hai?.. arrey ye kya hai?”
Loved this philosophy chat session, in my cousin brother’s style. He thought he was fooling around like he most times does.. it is his way of discussing life.
Only when I thought the day had closed, my otherwise inactive cell phone rang.
Unidentified number. With a frown, I answered the call to realize it was Swapna. Swapna, studied with me in school for 2 years when I was in 2nd and 3rd std. After almost 12 years the long lost friend stumbled upon my orkut profile. She says she was looking for me all these years.. Last year we met in Pune for around 3-4 hours .. It did not seem as if I wasn’t in touch with her for all these years. Spilled our stories out to each other. Again parted ways. Not knowing when would we get to see each other again.
She gave a call to say the police department has posted her in Mumbai for next 3 years!!! She doesn’t have a place to stay right now and would be staying with me till the time we find a place for her..
When I was talking to Rakhee about this, she smiled and said, “When one door closes another one opens.” I smiled too…
