Two Poems, and a Book Review

chay: Scouting for Scout....

ananthp: IW?

iw: Hi ananth..

iw: [ presenting a much older.. mellow.. sober & happier version of iw ] how have you been ? still in US ?

iw: today is happiest day of my adult life..

iw: I had to reject a lunch date offer from one girl, because I had already said yes to another girl..

iw: never in my life i thought such a day would come.. the waves of change are knocking on my doorsteps aswell..

iw: and the day has just gotten even better.. with the 'rejected' girl asking me to accompany her on her way back home..

iw: well she does has a swollen ankle and wants me to help carry her stuff.. but that's not the point..

iw: 14 - Nov - 2008,it would be difficult topping this day.. has my saadey saati finally ended ?

iw: is this really happening ? am I alive ? am i hallucinating ? what have I done to deserve this ?

iw: The 'accepted' girl now drops mail and books me for next friday lunch.. a week in advance..!

iw: I don't want this day to end.. EVER.

ananthp: LOL ! How did the day go?! did u carry the bags?!

ananthp: nope IW...home sweet home

iw: ofcourse I did ! but thankfully she carried her ladies purse herself..

iw: I helped in carrying her other "unisex" bag..

Captain Nemo: waah... so IW singing 'hum the woh thi aur samaa rangeen samajh gaye na?'

Captain Nemo: should I be singing 'oo mannu teraa huaa ab mera kyaa hoga?' :P

iw: CN, I will pass you address of Baba Bengali.. with his blessings your saadey saati would also end soon..
