A trip to a disc....

First time to disc....and lets say its fun for even those who sit and watch....













And you can go in and join and do what you want to do.....no one bothers apart from people who cannot dance or the bouncers

Growing up...

its a funny thing.....you want to grow up in one way, not in another....on all my birthdays,or after a certain landmark day, festival, job change, when the day ends, i feel a certain dread, whats the next year gonna bring for me?? more work?? responsibilities??what if something untoward happens?But next morning, i get up with enough energy to face all challenges life might face....that is when i grow up, birth dates & age a just nos......what age u CHOOSE to be is your choice,when i play cricket, i might be 5!!!

This was my response to the following post:

Damsel in distress......

& i am the knight in the formal armour!!!!

For ages, like most guys, i also had a wish where a beautiful girl needs my help.....and that happened today....

I was on my way to the SBI atm to withdraw some cash........when i saw her, trying to withdraw some cash from the machine (they have some faith in humanity here in Ahmedabad, the machine is out in the open, not in a cabin or vestibule)....eitherways, as i waited behind her, she turned ..........and her eyes smiled.......brown eyes....


"Do you have to withdraw money???". Nice sweet voice.

"Yes". I say.

"Please go ahead."


She steps down, i step up.

Put my card in, withdraw it, punch in the pin no., press all the right buttons , take my money.......and notice she is standing right behind me.....too close....

Thought 1 : Is this like one of those deo ads? Gal cannot go away because of deo.....??? No, deo will be useless if you have spent 7 hours in the sun.........

Thought 2: Is she out here to dupe me/ loot me???? Is she one of those good looking gals thieves sent to dupe guys, the gals moms always warn against?

I take my slip, step down, smile .........


"Can you just help me?" The sweet voice again.....

Cautious.

"Sure"

"Its not reading my card"

"Show"


Put it in, withdraw, asks for pin card.


"It was not working now!!!" Sweet shriek and smiling eyes!!!

"Happens. Sometimes the magnetic strip is dirty, so." (I am not sure about this, but figured she wouldnt know either!!!)

"Oh, what do i do now, i want to withdraw cash." (I think she was embarrased now)


I guide her through the entire process.......and she smiled.........her eyes smiled.....

"Thank you!!!" Sweet voice.


The point is i was there when she needed me........ :-)


& y i saw only her eyes smile??? Because thats all i could see..........she was covered something like this........
