December 17. “Friend, what are you doing on the computer past midnight?”

“I’m obviously here to talk to you a bit and then go to bed.”

“Why are you so late? Did you go somewhere?”

“Our Company won the Superbrand Award for making movies and all four of us went with Sir to collect the award.”

“You’re out quite often these days.”

“There are lots of weddings this month but we attend a few special ones only.”

“Was the function today a long one.”

“Rather long. I also saw a lovely sight on the way. A kitten was curled up in a corner fast asleep and a hulk of a dog was sitting beside the pussy cat and guarding it. Traditionally, cats and dogs have never got along but here was a sight which was both lovely and shocking. Now, can I go to sleep with your permission?”

“Do you need to ask? Goodnight.”
