PICK POCKETS & F'SHIP DAY


          ONE:

          I know some body who is more talented than the natural pick pockets.

He can lift 5 books from a shop at the same time- one book may have a hard cover & contain a thousand pages, it doesn't matter; He can steal them from a shop with four salesmen & ten customers moving around, He can pick books from a Book Fair and come out victorious without anyone catching a hint, He can do his work so clean, so precisely; He needs no tools, no assistants, no jute bags to carry the loot.

He may be a Kleptomaniac, He may do it for thrill & showmanship, but summing up he posseses all the qualities required to be a pickpocketeer. But he is not in the Gang yet because his work is more sophisticated, non-profit & consumes so less time (barely 15 mins.)

So he is now a part of an NGO who pleads people to plant more trees to make this planet greener.
A good career shift dude, congrats!

           TWO:

            We were in college then, my room-mate called up from his landline phone at home to inform me that he shall be occuring at the New Delhi Railway station after 2 days of travelling & manuring our country's railway tracks (u know about it right) along with other fellow passengers. I recently had bought a mobile phone (they were rare and costly at that initial period) to impress a girl who had offered to go on a blind date with me (now, that's another story).

When the day arrived to receive my friend, I boarded a crowded bus from a south Delhi Bus Stop that was heading to the Rly. Station. Within minutes, my mobile was gone.

I looked around in despair, tried to create a hue & cry, frisked the people standing near me, but it was taken.

I got down at the next stop, took a three wheeler & reached the station where this friend was waiting for me with all smiles and all his luggage.

What a price to pay for your Friendship which you never know would last how far! But till you can pull, give your best efforts, because  a good buddy is some one who can bring tears to your eyes when u r smiling, and vice-versa!!

A real friend is so hard to find, and so easy to lose!!

Cherish the friends you still have, give them a hug or a call and tell them 'No matter how stupid or funny they appear when they sing, they are a Joy- a treasure'.

Wish you all a nice Friendship Day coming!!

3 Cheers!
