It reminded me the site of my teenage wherein even I use to walk with bunch of my girl friends in cosmetic section in hope that after using this product we will compete any fairy angel.

“Where were you for so long?” Bennett queried in agitated voice, which surprised me as I never went anywhere without informing him. Somewhere I knew this is routine but still I expected him to remember that I had been to my exams and so undesirably even I replied in rough tone “how does it bother you? As of, you don’t remember”. This moment he sensed a roughness in my attitude and realized that he is forgetting something. Patting my back he said “oh! Come on I was just kidding, of course it does matter to me, Naia.” this made me to get on my nerve, I just looked in eyes “great, so you must know where I had been so long?” I knew he was not able to lie me as I was looking in his eyes, taking a heavy breath as of he just gave up “ ok, ok look I am really sorry but I really  [...]

Sam was in his usual rage and what boosted his anger; was my laughter. He stopped in front of me, waters draining with every possible color from his body. Sam’s niece Esther, who completed 4 years was having roaring laugh after seeing her uncle landing in pool while playing forcefully with all kids who were invited to her party. After seeing, I realized it is so easily that kids laugh and get happy unlike, elder who require huge reasons for smiling.
