Shhhhh.......... It's a Secret ;-) (wink)

Good Morning to myself and all who read this post, its a beautiful day today, started with a prayer and a smile. A prayer because my son's 12th Board exams start today finally, as one of his friends quoted yesterday it is " The beginning of the end" . Well yes the School life ends with this and I wish him and all his dear friends All the Very Best for future career and Life too.

Good Luck to my daughter as well, her exams are also going on and more than that I am waiting for it to get over because she is going to join me and her bro here after the exams, waiting for you sweety pie :-) and missing you lots :'(

Now the Secret,,,,, well its one of the experiences of my college days and as people who know me know that I was too naughty then, I had been to Bombay to my cousins place and by chance happened to see a photograph of a good looking guy at her place. I asked her who this guy was and it was pleasant to know that he was someone who stayed in my home town then Madras. I took his phone no. and name and told my cousin, lets have some fun but she warned me that mind you, don't do anything too mischievous, he is a relative. I said okay no worries.

After returning I called this guy, with a fake name and identity and we spoke very often, those days there were no mobile phones or caller ids, I was safe or he was ( could be either way ;-)).
So it used to be fun talking to him, because he was a very friendly person and also as cool as me to share thoughts and adventures.

One fine day we decided to meet and we were supposed to meet at Landmark a greeting cards gallery. I took a college friend along with me, and at the given time, I saw this guy with 2 rough and tough men along with him, though surprised but I was not scared. He offered me to join him to a near by cakes and bakes shop which was pretty popular then for hang outs. My friend pulled me behind and said Are you crazy you are going alone with these 3 guys whom you do not know, well I said don't worry I know one of them and he's nice.

After finishing this so called date, I returned home and called him obviously to ask why he brought 2 body guards along with him, was he so scared ????

And this was a LOL..... moment because he told me that ever since he was talking to me he felt that I was some kind of bait laid for him by his x-y-z girl friends brother who was behind his life after he knew about their relationship, though then it was all over between him and the pretty girl then, and trust me I burst out laughing, I still laugh whenever I recollect that episode.

Anyway after this I unfolded my true identity and also the fun factor for which I was talking to him and my cousin, me and him shared a hearty laughter. We spoke and met very rarely after that, none of us intended to take this ahead seriously so it was a simple friendship, but the best part is we kept getting updates about each other and once in a while came across each other on common weddings and also when my cousin visited Chennai.

This year I met him and his wife after many years and needless to say it was a pleasure to meet all of them, no names mentioned because no offence meant to anyone, it was just one of the fun episodes of my college life wanted to share it because yesterday was a sweet moment,when I spoke to his son who is a year older than mine for the second time, for career guidance as to what good options available after 12th for my son. Hey, it was great to talk to you sunny, and this wish is for you. God bless all my friends and their family members.

Signing out with a note that Life can be simple, Friendships can be simple yet just like the attached picture of mine edited by my creative son Srijan with the lovely caption on it says, "Simple is Beautiful".

Live life with fun but keep it simple, because its always fun to look back at it and brings a smile to my face and I am sure you are smiling too. Keep smiling, its God's greatest gift to mankind.
