The remains of the day close in,
My smile broadens.
8 P.M. date – with family, friends
Aaaand Shahrukh!
My to do list is all taken care of
Wait! Two last minute
urgent submissions
They were nowhere in the original plan.
Mum’s a sweetheart – she takes up kitchen
And I, hasty typing
Wow! The words are flowing
I can do it.
I hit the send button at 7:35.
I’m dressed by 7:37
Dad – I’m ready!
7:38 – dad picks up the keys.
7:38:01 – the phone rings.
8P.M. show has been advanced
to 6P.M. in winters.
Landslide – I think I know how it feels.
