I remember a wedding reception of one of my friend Saan's sister marriage.He had called many of my friends.My friends Kumar & Ravi too were present there.They both had drinking problem.Saan didn't know about it.When we reached there they both were with Saan.They were in nice shape.So Saan requested them to recieve the guests.& they happily obliged.
As the evening passed,they got fully drunked.They went on & got out of their mind.They used to say the same words to all the guests.
Dont worry about gifts & money.
Just enjoy the food.
Enjoy the evening.
& bless the couple.
Thats all we want.
They did not even notice who else was coming to the reception.Then i heard a noise,someone was slapping Ravi continuously.I went close.He was being slapped by his father.He had just arrived for the reception,& his son recieved him saying the following words.
Dont worry about gifts & money.
Just enjoy the food.
Enjoy the evening.
& bless the couple.

Appearence/Impression
I remember my boarding school days.I had a friend named Monty.He was the most energetic idiot i have ever seen.His father used to be a rich businessman.But Monty never looked like a son of a wealthy father.He was the dirtiest among us & always wears the worst clothes.
Appearances can be deceiving & you might end up creating wrong impression on the minds of others.Everyone including our hostel warden always believed that Monty is a wretched guy from a poor family. & Monty lived up to the faith,when he got failed in the final exam,before passing out.
I met my warden,couple of years after passing out from my school.He told me,'you know,i heard from someone that Monty is selling coconuts now a days.'
His gestures suggested like Monty is selling coconut on the roadside.
Last heard,Monty was taking care of father's business.Actually his father had a big coconut firmland,& they used to supply coconut all over orissa.

why feel sorry
One of my college friend,Bunny, used to work for a company in Gurgaon.He is a music lover.he can play all kinds of musical instuments.Last month,we found that he has been thrown out of the company. The reason why he was thrown out is really funny.
Couple of months back he had met a piano teacher.He taught him certein lessons & told him that if you practice for 15 days continiously,you can master the instument. Then Bunny started practising piano continiously for days.He did not go to office,he did not eat or sleep,he was very dedicated.After 15 days,he tonsured his head.He went to the office & told the manager that his grandfather suddenly expired.He could not inform & went straight to his home.The manager at that instant asked his home Phone no,called his father & expressed sorry for Bunny's grandfather.
Bunny's father said,'yeh,its alright.but why you are feeling sorry for someone who has expired before 10 years'.
By that time Bunny was on his knees.The manager called the guards & asked them to throw Bunny out of office.

Salam Namaste
I used to have a friend in my college days.Hari.He used to be the single child of one of the richest family in Cuttack,& used to enjoy all the pleasures of life in his home.But,sadly he looked like a servent of his home,i mean he looked terrible.
A milkman used to supply milk to Hari's home.Hari had a problem.Early morning he needs to have milk before going to bathroom.He was habituated.Like,Saif Ali khan in salam namaste.So,everyday,he would get up in the morning to collect milk from the milkman.The milkman had by now thought Hari as the servent of the house.
One fine day,Hari's father was very upset with Hari & scolded him like anything.Poor fellow got upset & was sitting in the Lawn outside.At that time the milkman was approching towards his home,& had seen evrything.He came near Hari & said,'dont be upset.Your owner is a very nice man.Just return whatever you have stolen.He will excuse you'. Hari stared at the milkman with anger & started crying like a baby.
Next morning,Hari got up in the morning & as usual went to the door to collect the milk.The milkman told him,'Thats my boy.I told you,just surrender & things will be fine.Look,if you need extra money,just ask the owner to increase your salary.What is the need to do such nasty things'.

Lets sell the kidney
I remember my engineering days.During Exam period,at midnight,me & my friends used to go to the nearby railway station for having tea.One night,when me & my friend were going to the railway station in a bike,a young kid asked for lift.He had missed his last bus.We gave him lift,& ask him to sit in the middle.
In the midway,my friend told me'I have contacted the person in the medical,he needed the kidney tonight.Why not sell this kid's kidney'.
I said,'yeh,sure.We can make 5 lacs easily.'
By that time,the kid got very nervous & started crying.
My friend stopped the bike in front of the raiway station & asked the kid to get down.He said we were just joking,& advised him not to ask for lift from strangers.

Frustrated Youth.
I remember the period when we had just passed out from the college.There was no job,hardly any money,no work,lots of frustration.It was post 9/11.Me & my friends were in bhubaneswar,living in an world of despair.
Once I was travelling in a bike with my friend & the bike got punctured.We took it to a garage near-by.The mechanic had gone for lunch,so we thought we would try to make it ourselves.we were really tired & hungry that time.The place was near by our college from where we had passed out.
At that moment two of the college lecturers were passing by.They just stepped in & asked,'what the hell you people are doin here'.
My friend who was a bit short tempered said,'what the hell do you think we are doin here.what the hell we supposed to do when we complete our education from the college that you teach.We have opened this garage & working as mechanics'.
At that instant the two lecturers started their bikes & went away with the maximum speed.

School memories
School days are the most dramatic period of life.Here is an incident i recollect till now.
My school mate,Tushar & his brothers were very very naughty in their school days.One tution master used to come to their home to teach them.He used to punish them a lot.
One day while teaching,he slapped tushar very hard.His younger brother saagar got very angry & slapped the teacher.Then elder brother Milan & Tushar too joined him.They closed the door,& hit the teacher like anything.Their mother kept shouting & requesting from the widow.
That incident became very famous.From then,no other teacher ever entered their home.
