sharing some more soup..

Dear e.f,

Its been long time i am away from iland..and now seeing this new avatar of my iland. Its really refreshing but i guess i still miss the earlier avatar of iland for various reasons. Mainly because i could see many visiting the iland and i could see many of their blogs in the front page itself.

Anyways the year 2009 is just passing by..only one day away. I was just analysing the gone by year. Its really a breakthrough year for me as my business trips took me various parts of the world and i learnt a lot of things. Even though there were many ups and downs in the business i guess for last ten years this was the year very fulfilling and interesting.

Also the last month will be more known to movies..specially avatar. A never before experience and i guess it has set a stage for a lot of new technological movies which will surprise all of us in coming years. In any case present avatar is around 40 yrs ahead of time and i dont see anyone breaking that path except James cameroon himself. Also the hindi movies came in last month like paa, 3 idiots and rocket singh were quite amazing. I loved all of them.

The reason i chose to write today was to share two more chicken stories with all of you guys n gals. But i guess due to lack of time i may be able to share it one only. Lets see. In that case i will share the other tomorrow in edit section. Enjoy and share the chicken soup.

THE COOKIE THIEF
A woman was waiting at an airport one night,
With several long hours before her flight.
She hunted for a book in the airport shop,
Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.

She was engrossed in her book,but happened to see,
That the man beside her, as bold as he could be,
Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag between,
Which she tried to ignore, to avoid a scene.

She read,munched cookies,and watched the clock,
As the sutsy “cookie thief” diminished her stock.
She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,
Thinking, “If i was not so nice,I ‘d blacken his eye!”

With each cookie she took,he took one too.
When only one was left,she wondered what he ‘d do.
With a smile on his face and a nervous laugh,
He took the last cookie and broke it in half.

He offered her half,as he ate the other.
She snatched it from him and thought,”Oh brother,
This guy has some nerve, and he is also rude,
Why, he did n’t even show any gratitude!”

She had never known when she had been so galled,
And sighed with relief when her flight was called.
She gathered her belongings and headed for the gate,
Refusing to look back at the “thieving ingrate.”

She boarded the plane and sank in her seat,
Then sought her book,which was almost complete.
As she reached in her baggage,she gasped with surprise.
There was her bag of cookies in front of her eyes!

“If mine are here,” she moaned with despair,
” Then the others were his and he tried to share!”
Too late to apologise,she realised with grief,
That she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief!
