May

May – the summer is back.

It isn’t yet completely humid in Dubai however it’s just around the corner and you can already feel it. I guess everyone is already making plans to hibernate during the coming July – august months.

Not me.

May – the month of the Taurean. I was with a Taurean friend at the bookstore today – a lady who can make me laugh at even the silliest jokes. Today she even made the guard at the bookstore snicker while she was happily criticizing John Grisham – a well know author. I don’t know how does she manage to do that and when I turned back I saw him chuckling looking at us. He doesn’t have to eaves drop – she was loud enough for him to hear. Infact, during days when am really low, she can really put me in to good spirits with her sarcasm and wittiness.

Some people don’t have to try – they are designed naturally to bring a smile to your face – with their clever remarks and wittiness. Then there are people who make you laugh with their stupidity. Not that they are stupid, just that they tend to act like one.

And certain times we ourselves can tend to be laughing stock for people. It happened to me when I was at the swimming pool one day with two Piscean friends. Now I seem to have a lot of ‘Fishes’ in my life.
Since we haven’t yet reached the stage of ‘expert swimmers’ or ‘good swimmers’, especially my Piscean friend number one, she kind of lost balance while doing her back stroke and called out for help.
Now suddenly I was the friend trying to help the friend in need - I jumped into the water like am some professional swimmer and swam towards her. Unfortunately when I reached her, I did not know what to do next and so in the process of catching her, I almost drowned her and myself. We had a bunch of old ladies around us in the pool and Piscean friend number 2 who was still at the other end of the pool watching the whole scene with a dumb look - to laugh at what happened. Since I laugh more than I swim when am in the swimming pool due to which I drink a lot of water, I too did the same.

Oh well, I guess I wrote a lot for this post.

Cheerio.
