Smile

You know, what I’d like to see,
A smile on your face, staring back at me,
Your laugh, like bells, ringing in my ear,
Making me smile, through even a tear

Your smile makes me, in memories ensnared,
Back to those days, when we played without a care,
When neither rain nor shine, kept us apart,
Those good old days, when our friendship did start

Your smile takes me, back to those days,
When we fought for reasons silly, dreams we did chase,
When we studied, played, had so much fun,
Those good old days, when our friendship had begun

Your smile, even now, means the world to me,
It does make the world seem so free,
Through the clouds, the sun would shine,
The world maybe miserable, but I’d feel fine

Smile for me, my dear friend,
Lost in your smile, let me a moment spend,
Your smile, would make me smile too,
Another smile, that brings joy to you.

Double Trouble

Have you ever tried talking on two phones at once...??

I was talking on the landline with my sweetie. About an hour into the call, my cell goes tring...!! I look to find its the caterer I had hired. The smart thing would have been ask one of them to wait a bit, and attend one call...but oh no, I had to go try talking to both of them simultaneously.

Caterer: Hello Mr.V, I called to check if you wanted any change in the menu for the function(some puja).

Me: No. No change.

Sweetie: So, what else? Are we meeting for lunch? (I'd said yes 20 mins back, didn't u hear me!!?)

Me: Ya dear, our usual hangout...at one o'clock.

C: Are you sure? You said you might change it. I need to know for sure. (I said no, right?? Keep the phone moron!!)

M: Yeah, I'm sure.

S: Ok. Did I tell you I had my hair cut last week? (Oh boy, of all the silly questions to ask. I see her daily, as if she'd let go of such a topic on the second day itself!!)

M: Yeah you did. Its very nice.

Well...you guys/gals get the drift. I am in two way hell here, and to make matters worse, the bell rings to tell me someone's at the door. With one phone to my shoulder, and the other in one hand, I somehow get to the door. Some salesman. I hate salesmen. I put both phones down, and try n get rid of him. Persistent as they are, he kept trying n trying till I got steamed and banged the door at his face. I flopped down on the couch, picked up the phone.

M: Hey sweetie, I got another call. Could I call you back later??

To my shock,

Caterer: WHAT?? What did you say sir?

Bas, Vinay flat. Luckily enough, the caterer was my friend's mom. She was able to understand my predicament and didn't cancel.

Moral: If I ever get a job as a telephone operator, I need lots and lots of practice!! :)

My Seminar :)

God has bestowed me, with a voice so nice,
That the teacher gives me, enough seminars to suffice,
Vinay do this, and Vinay do that,
Give a seminar at the drop of a hat.

Today, I had to give seminars two,
One in C++, the other in CIP too,
I hit the midnight oil yesterday, preparing for it,
So serious was I, I fell asleep with the light still lit.

With God’s grace, I was late for class,
I entered to see a new teacher, alas!
Hoping she didn’t know of my task, I sat down,
But she did know, as she told with a frown

She told me, Vinay start your seminar fast,
I took up my notes, and stood up at long last,
The class was asleep, I could tell with ease,
They told do awesome, wake us please.

My friends, applauded, as I started to speak,
The teacher looked shocked, my knees a bit weak,
10 minutes in, she still looked pale,
I stopped to ask for doubts, lest she made me fail.

The class, looked at me, and burst out loud,
Gales of laughter, were on me bestowed,
Now I was shocked, as I waited for them to stop,
Anxious to know, why my seminar was a flop

When I came to know, I joined the fun with a smile,
The teacher joined too, and we laughed for a while,
I’d jumbled them up, given the wrong one,
It was a bit embarrassing for me, yet all had a lot of fun.
