“Why can’t you just believe me for once? I am telling you the date was 21st march!” exclaimed Asif.
“How many times am I supposed to tell you! It was 22nd march 12:05 A.M, not 21st march 11:55 P.M.!” shot back Salima.
“Damn it! Let’s just agree to disagree. It’s only a matter of 10 minutes. But what do we tell Yousuf?” said Asif.
“The truth. What else!” replied salima
***20 years later***
“What the hell have u filled in here? Now the whole form would have to filled again!” said agent Ramesh throwing the Visa form back at Yousuf after pointing to a spot on the form.
Yousuf smiled and said, “I’ve written only what I know. My birth date still remains a mystery to me and I guess, it always will.”

nice take on mystery.
Thanks Pratibha and a very warm welcome to Sensible Bakwas 🙂
Choti post!
Of course you know I expect much more and much better from you. Got busy or what?
You should have shows what exactly Yousuf wrote.. maybe a pic with ‘Mystery’ written in a field on a form…
Some other thoughts that came to me:
1. Yousuf was stupid enough to mess up on the Visa form with that mystery stuff.
2. His parents had already named their son Yousuf… before having that discussion. I think they were having it for the nth time.
3. When was this guy celebrating his bdday?
And.. how are you? Busy with work?
ha ha peeerfect Kshitij comment… 😛
yeah that point about about the pic is a good idea… dekha this is wat happen when i dont get ur expert advicebefore publishing…. man i miss the BPL days 🙁
coming to pt 1 —> well yes he was stupid… or probably it was writing his story 😛
coming to pt 2 —> yup it was the nth time the discussion was taking place… that was the intension of the starting dialogues too! 🙂
coming to pt 3 —-> thats a mystery too hehehe
anyways i am doing fine…. very very busy these days…. the fact i am reply to comments so late shows that… 🙂
Yeah.. busy boy… this is the 4th time I am coming to check if you responded 🙂
lol I didnt know ppl come back to check replies too! Anyways I wont make u wait too long this time 🙂
So parents have different opinions about their child 🙂
the difference in opinion is about the bday not the child 😛
A mystery that made me smile..!!!
nice one..enjoyed reading dear…short and sweet..!!
All the best for BAT dear..!!!
