RED

There was something in the night...all were going berserk! Maybe it could be blamed on the music, but then it was one of the best things that night, so it seems kinda unfair to blame it at all.

M: Oh my god, I ve lost my new lipstick and compact!
S : What?
M: Yeah, I searched everywhere. It's not there. Am sure must have lost it last night. But where and how the hell did I lose it?
S : Is everything else in place, I mean ur money and stuff?
M: Yeah that all is there, strange....... y would somebody wld steal my makeup stuff of all.
S : ....ummm. Funny really. Is it possible that it fell off in the car?
M: Could be, why don't u call him up and ask.
S : Okay I ll do it, don't worry.
M: How the hell not to worry, it had cost me a whole lot of money!!

........and so went on the whining over the lost lipstick, but none was prompt enough to call and find out if the stuff was in the car.

R : Hey did any of u ppl leave ur makeup stuff in the car?
S : Oh yes, M was about to call u. She has been looking for it all day.
R : Even I didn't realize it was there. Actually it was a friend's car, and his wife found it in the morning. Poor chap he is on the verge of his divorce. Pray for him.
S : Hey but what about t stuff, can we get it back?
R : I ll see if I can retrieve something, maybe she has thrown it away.
S: Just try and see what you can do. And I ll surely pray for your friend.

........and the same is conveyed to M.

M : What, she has thrown away my stuff. But how ll I ever replace it.
S : C'mon, you r worried about ur makeup! Just imagine ur lipstick can be the reason of a divorce. Think how will u cope with such a guilt.
M : Bullshit. I haven't seen such an insecure wife. And if she had to divorce him - she will anyway, but who ll pay for my makeup?

..........and the joke went on.

M : So how is your friend. I hope the storm has subsided now.
R : Yaa, the poor chap slept at my place last night.
M : Hmmm.....

.........didn't think it right to ask about her lipsticks at this instant.

And so the questions remain......

1. How can a wife be so insecure? She knew her husbands friends had taken the car, and still she made all that fuss?

2. What a stupid husband? Does he inspire no confidence in his wife?

3. Poor M. She didn't do anything, and yet she might have to take all (or some) of the blame?

4. Can a silly lipstick be the reason of a divorce?

5. And most importantly, will M get her stuff back?


And some observations made.......

1. Some of the strongest relations rest on weakest foundations.

2. Everybody worries only about their own toothache. Let the world go to hell....

3. Procrastination hurts.

4. Never underestimate the power of a lipstick.


Such is life.........and it goes on.
