Really, not everybody can hope to get a friend like this who’s ready to give you shit and also take a lot of shit from you.. whom you can call whenever and wherever, and just pick up the thread that you let drift years ago and now so strongly want to latch on to, and at the same time make up for all the lost years that you let it drift..
Yes, now that people have heard me and are smiling and happy and getting sentimental blah blah, let me declare that what happened today will definitely go down in ..(well, not history, history is all about the dead past burying its dead)that special place in my head which is so reserved for gross injustice and soul-murders.. be they 700 years old or even a millennia years old!!
Italian Short Stories is so precious that no mortal can be trusted with a copy of the book you must understand…no see, what if people actually get to know what little love-story happened 700 years ago in Italy, they might get so engrossed in that love that they would start eating the pages off or some such thing, or say a love tragedy occurs, might end up burning the book.. these are very probable possibilities...but let’s not lose heart, what are friends for, cos they have been kind enough to come down the pedestal and promise a photocopy of the book the next time we meet.. ah, there’s the catch, considering one can take a flight to that god-damned place in SA every (need help from the so-quoted ‘most friendly’ Airlines ever in operation).. hrs!!
Really, the KPO list is KaPOot! Not that it ever progressed anywhere, but at least was not abandoned.. see, after all, I value friendship.. oh, you must have forgotten about it, please go back to para 1.

Podi. As I told you before, you have a friend who's a mirror image of you, so what else did you expect.
Want to add on to this, but I have a flight to catch. No marks for guessing where.
