Friends, Friends’ Friends and their Friends
(Part I)
(For Ms. A, Ms. A and of course Mr. A)
He: Hello!
Have you arrived here
Back in
Delhi? Let’s meet somewhere!
I: Oh yes!
I’m back. How are you?
He: I am
fine, how do you do?
I:
Similarly. What about
The coming
Sunday to go out?
He: Sure.
Would you meet Ms. A too?
I have an
inkling that you two
Would get
along very nicely,
More so if
you behaved wisely.
I: You said
she is important,
Fine, I
will try some improvement
In my
conduct towards strangers
And avoid
possible dangers
To your
thriving relationship
That makes
your relentless heart skip
A beat on
regular basis;
Oh! I’ve
seen many such cases.
He: Greater
Kailash, one p.m.
Sharp; someplace
around we’ll meet them….
I: ‘Them’?
How many…wait...who will
Host the
meeting? (Read – pay the bill?)
He: Don’t
worry you miser. A
Might come
with a friend; I will pay.
I (to
myself): Settled then that,
A little
food, some chit-chat,
Will
suffice; So I will agree.
I (to Him):
Next Sunday? I’ll see.
