Absolutist’s Day Out – Part 3 (Well, Not Really!!)

“You called me a seahorse on your blog…,” the slur was all too familiar.
“Well?...,”
“Why did you call me a seahorse?” some people are so eager to get insulted!
“Isn’t it evident,”
(Wide satisfied grin) That got rid of her, again! She’s damn persistent, don’t you think?

“Do you have time to practice?”
“I think I do…”
Some people have serious attitude problems. What kind of a tone is that? It’s true that she has auditions today and I am supposed to accompany her and we haven’t practiced the song properly, but even then… “Do you have time…,” What kind of a remark is that?

Isn’t there more to life than just that. And some call ME self-absorbed!
