Life, and all that is in it.

dates and dates and dates

There are three types of dates in the world. Date 1: 09/07/1984, 17/04/1878 These are mathematical dates involving orbitary movements, cosmic swirling gases and intense heat from a star that is so bright, it actually eclipses Mubasshir's insatiable and shocking appetite.

Date 2: these are of two kinds: blind and visible. The blind ones are when you meet a random person at bricks and bats. You place an order for coffee but she receives it instead. "I didn't order a capuccino. I want a hot chocolate instead," she says. "Oh that's my order," you say, and reach out for the cup. Your eyes meet and the rest is history.

Visible dates are when you meet up with an old friend after 15 years for dinner, because he and you are finally in the same longitude and latitude, after many years of planetary rotations (date 1).

Date 3: these are often gifted by patients who come from Dubai. "Doctor Saab, I have brought you the finest seedless dates ever!" These are rich in iron AND sugar, but make great snacks for people breaking a rigorous month long fast.

I do hope this forces her father to come for a short sojourn to Mumbai where he can catch up with date no. 2 on the specified date no. 1, with a box of date no.3. The only dates struck off the calendar are from 4/06/2026-12/06/2026 because..........

So the Guest tells PPD coldly, "don't act smart. I'm not so busy! Just fulfil the dates 1,2,3 and let me know." PPD looks around nervously, the Producer cowering in the corner. "I'll tell you, I'll tell you, don't gas me!" The Guest breaks into a smile. "Ok, then we are on."

Anyway, you made me smile. What a fun 🐻 that was!

I am in a robo in the morning, then MaMo at 5pm.

What's your day like? Are you in chug chug land?
