"So what do you think now? You read the posts participated in PAUS. Right?" I asked Saahil, my classmate cum fellow blogger who loves his stubble and nothing could have ever persuaded him to alter that lousy look.
"Indeed, I read them all. And I guess no one adores this look anymore. Neither Isha, who loved Sid unconditionally, yet couldn't tolerate his stubble (Coffee Date). Nor the kids, whether its their father's (My Baby and I) or of Santa (Christmas Wish). There are much more losses, apart from upsetting your beloved wife (Adopting a Good Habit), than anyone ever think (There's more to stubble than you really know). There were myriad stories, poems and references." Saahil replied which baffled me a bit.
"So? Are you going to shave or not?" I inquired directly.
"Listen to me. I'm not finish yet. I always appreciated this look of mine. Makes me look little more grown up. But I don't care about what other think. The only opinion that matters is yours'."
Saahil bent down on his knees and held my hand. "Do you want me to shave?"
"Saahil, do you remember when we were in 6th standard, I kissed your cheek in a school play?"
He nodded.
"I want to do the same, on the same cheek. But ..." I paused.
"But what?"
"Now if I'll kiss you, your stubble will hurt me."
Saahil smiled at my innocent reply. Finally he was able to see the love in my eyes, for him. He moved a little closer and kissed gently on my cheek, "I promise I will be shaved from now onward."
From that moment our friendship turned into something special. He kept his promise and his clean shaven look bowled me over and over again everyday.

Experience worth a million words: Children's day celebration!
When asked what they want to be, doctor and engineer were not even close to their answers! This children's day, I picked my scooter and hit the road to see, if there is anything I can do. I knew visiting orphanages or government schools is always an option. But it's an option for almost everyone. I wanted to do something different. Last year I took kids who sell balloons and roses outside 'Noida Sector 18' metro station, to the nearby McDonald's. Staff was overwhelmed and allowed them inside. Heck of a day it was! This year I had nothing in my mind. I only rode for a minute or two, when I saw these kids, playing. There is a construction site nearby. They belong to workers employed there. I called one of the elder woman, and asked if I'll offer anything for these kids to eat, would she approve? She delightedly accepted my request. I asked her how many kids are here and rushed to nearby market(Qutub Plaza) and ordered 10 Dominos mini parcels. Bought 10 KitK

One fine morning, when the sun was bright; I was craving for chocolate, straight from night. I ran to my mother, jumped and gave her kiss, She gave me my chocolate as she promised. I was holding it tight, like the rat in eagle’s claw, Enjoying it thoroughly which my brother had saw. He came with a report card, pretending to whine, Said he’ll give me a bigger one, if I got it signed. I made my way toward the terrace for solace, After giving him my best ‘Do you think I’m stupid face’? I wave a pretentious hello to my despicable neighbor, Smiling at him, is itself a big favor. Besides failing a hundred times, he offered this time straight, ‘I’ll shower you w
