I did it :| !!

It was early morning. And Raghav was out to meet a friend. Now I needed chillies at home for the morning breakfast.

So I pick up the landline phone and dial Raghav's no. It rings and it rings. At the same time, I hear the mobile ring. Uff ! how do I handle two phones! Hmm.. ! Humph !! I pick up the phone and put it to the other ear. Wow ! RAghav also picks the phone on the landline - So I say
Hi Raghav'. And then the lady on the mobile phone also says 'Hi Raghav..' Niiice voice- I think :)

A little surprised. I switch to the lady with the nice voice on the mobile . And I tell her- RAghav is out. And I ask her to hold on a minute.. I tell her i am on the other phone. She goes quiet . I am surprised.Funny lady I am
thinking , by now :). Nonchalantly, I go back to my landline.. Hey ! Raghav has picked up the phone. ! I say - Hello.!! Hello !! And to my indignation. The lady on the mobile seems to be saying - Hello!! Whats wrong with her I think..:) and go back to the mobile..

It was then that I realized.. :) I did it again !! The lady with the sweet voice on the mobile was me.. :) :)))

On another fine bright sunny day, I was driving back home. A km down my appartment, I thought I saw my husband's friend walking in the direction of our appartment. So I waved at him hard. And the guy , looks at me a little surprised. And gives a wave with a reluctant smile. Wonder why he did do that- I am not going to think that I was being overly friendly -I concentrate on driving back home. I come out to the gate again to go to the shop. And wow! I see him again! And I say "HI !!!!".. He again says a 'Hi'( that did not seem very friendly.. ) I ignore that expression and I smile and say- Sorry I did not stop to give you a pick up on the way back.( with a eager friendly smile on my face, I continue ) You see, I would have got stuck in the traffic. He seems amused and says- Thats ok. I smile and Wonder what was so amusing to him, but I play along :). And I say- Come home and have some tea. He looks at me a little surprised and says politely with a smile- sure.. sure..!NOt this time though! And I wonder. Damn! why is this guy so hesitant. (Hope he did not think that I was trying to make a pass at him.) So I tell him -- You can come home, Raghav is also there. He is a little more surprised, amused, irritated ( Why did he look a little desperate ?? ). And says- Some other time, Some other time! Funny guy I think and I say, So how is Wipro doing? He looks at me with a surprised look and says- I work at Honeywell.! Uunh.. !!! When did you shift to Honeywell I ask..( This time, I try not to sound desperate ) And he says.. I didnt. I have been working here for last 10 years..

Hehehehehehehe ! I realised I did it again.. !!This guy was a complete stranger !!!

We all have our moments we would love to forget. You always had a great sense of humour though. To be able to laugh at oneself is a quality not many people possess.
