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.
