Saturday noon. V comes home after 2 hours in his precious lab. on a weekend. to me. who greets him with a sad face.
V: *defensively* i'm on time! *d time he'd sed he'd be back*
me: i can't find my white sandals. *with a VERY sad face*
V: huh? *can't believe it's not about him!*
me: I CAN'T FIND MY WHITE SANDALS! *thinking it was volume that got d reaction*
V: why?
*can there be a dafter question?!*
me: *too sad to realize above-mentioned truth* i don't know.
waiting for sympathetic sounds. none coming.
me: come. help me find them.
V: realizing there's no way out walks with me into my closet.
me: *pointing in the mess of multiple footwear, clothes, shoe-bags, jewelery box, empty bags etc...* see? no white sandals.
V: ollay. see!! *points to beige sandals* that one!?
*me follows finger excitedly till i realize what he's pointing at*
V: *identifying d glare he's getting* umm... OFF-white?
me: THAT is beige! the WHITE ones. the strappy white ones?! they're not here!
V: *noticing the state of the closet* must be here somewhere!
me: NO! it is NOT!
V: let's check again tomorrow, okay? with a fresh mind?
after a couple of mails. and scraps. i get a reply. from suruchi. to my on-the-verge-of-tears question of "have i left my white sandals at ur place?" she replies with a "YES. u HAVE." *i quote her there!*
i KNEW i was glad to have her in my life! this just cements it further! at least i can now hope to have them back by d summer when i can actually wear them!

noodlez: i think d only part that he heard was "strappy" ;)
rr: oh u bet! but this one's a tad better. he knows d diff in blue and turquoise blue. kewl, eh?
la vida..: good to see u back! how goes it? :)
Glad u found it sistah! and I know imagine a summer without white sandals!...make sure u get it back by then!
Yay for finally unearthing those missing white sandals. I am still hunting my red ones which seem to have walked out on me. Now if only PC man was half as educated as V with colors:(
heyy fuzz: V understands d blue diff coz i wore a turquoise saree at my wedding. and he'd once accidentally called it "blue" lol! am sure going forth, he won't mistake beige for white! :D
orchie: yeah, sistah! i knew u'd empathize with the pain of losing footwear! but fret not, it's in safe hands! :D
Reminds me of a 'Sex and the city' episode where Carrie loses her new pair at a friend's and becomes all sad.. :P
