Papa don't preach....


We stood before him in the lounge
my mother, my brother and i
we knew that he would start preeching
so we bade the tv good bye
as papa began his usual speech
concerning human factors
from Shahrukh khan to Kenu reeves
i thought of them all
but then i had nothing else to do
so i just stared at the wall
sitting there i thought to myself
papa's sermons are so boring
and then i wondered, how come papa
can't hear mummy snoring?
i guess papa was busy in preaching
which meant in other words
nothing was going to stop him
and our protest would not be heard
i looked at my brother's agonized face
and i thought he was tired too
but then i realized that the poor guy
had to urgently use the loo !
i had no allies in the war
i knew that i was doomed
but then from somewhere in my brain
this crazy idea bloomed
i don't know how it happened
it just popped into my head
i cried out: papa don't preach
let's all watch the movie instead
don't ask what happened next...!
well ....how was that ? had u ever been i such a situation?

hmmm after a gap .......i am bak
so nothing much to do today except for checking mails and forarding invitations of gmail to farooq, JJ, sadia, and sharmeen. They all had been asking and requesting to send them an invitaion ! well acknowledged! and responded as well ........

A week ago i was searching a book of kaniha laal kapoor .. indian writer . i searched it every where! from punjab library to ferozsons, anarkali to urdu bazar but i could not find it ! well i was so drenched, tired and disappointed after a 2 hurs hectic search that i was reading Bolan Bank as Bolan Book Bank . Deceptions of B! Well atlast i reached a shop ....and asked ab that book .....that shop keeper gave me his fone # and told me to
contact after 2 days ..... lo and behold ....i made a fone call after 2 days and there were good news for me ...he had found that book from his stock !

and i finally made my way bak with that book ! although this book was all about some fiction. An old book, not available the market .......the strange thing was even Punjab library hadn't that particular book of kaniha.

moral of the story: keep the books with care ........especiallly if u hav borrowed them! wink*
