February 2. “Now tell me the truth, Button”
“What?”
“When did you come back from the party last night?”
January 24. “Button, what did you think of Bingo?”
“I liked the way the show started but after Paa went and the ordinary couples came in to play the game, it suddenly went kaput.”
January 17. “Button, ever since I started writing this diary, I’ve had doubts about whether I should continue to write or just give it up.
I am often stuck for ideas, not knowing what I should talk to you about but something or the other comes to mind and we’ve successfully talked for almost five months now.”
January 14. “I must stay awake till midnight tonight.”
“Why Button?”
“You couldn’t have forgotten! It’s sir’s birthday tomorrow.”
January 13. “Button, do you know the Gayatri Mantra?”
“No. But why are you suddenly talking about the Gayatri Mantra?”
“I’ve been told to chant it by Shri Shikre. He’s an astrologer and, when I saw him the first time, I was shocked.”
Flash Post 30!
“Button, Star Movies aired a movie called Ted this morning and, had I known earlier, I would have sent you this post informing you about it. It’s very similar to our story…”
Flash Post 28!
“Button, I suddenly felt nostalgic about the first song I picked up from FM at the age of 17 or 18! I did it to sing the song to Dost who was dating me then. The song was called Paper Roses and sung by Marie Osmond. The lyrics of the song didn’t hold true for us but, somehow I just loved it and, it gave me a chance to flaunt my mediocre singing talent to him.”
December 21. “Have you heard our national anthem in Lataji’s voice? It’s mind-blowing.”
“No, I haven’t but I’ve heard the other version sung by Bhimsen Joshi, Pandit Jasraj and a lot of others but not this one.”
“My hair stands on edge every time I hear the song and I can’t help but sing along. They had stopped playing the anthem in cinema halls because people didn’t give it due respect but it is being played once again.”
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?”
