Between friends

Raj: Hi, Das.

Das: Hello, Raj. Haven’t seen you for ages. How are you?

Raj: Fine. And you?

Das: Getting on well. How is little Mohn? We really miss him.

Raj: He is O.K. Busy with his studies and NCC activities. He’s been selected for the Republic Day parade this year.

Das: Rally? That’s wonderful. By the way, have you heard about Ramesh?

Raj: No. What about him?

Das: He’s getting married soon to a colleague of his.

Raj: That’s good news. So ramesh will soon settle down to a domestic life.

Das: Sorry, Raj. It’s time for my bus. I must hurry.

Raj: I’ll ring you up some time.

Das: Please do. And give our love to Mohan.

Raj: I will. Bye.

Das: Bye.

On the Telephone

Shela: Good morning. Shela here.

Poonam: Hi, Shela! How are you?

Shela: Hello, poonam. I’m alright. How are things with you? How is your new school?

Poonam: It’s good. I enjoy teaching there. It’s quite different from the one where I was teaching last year. This one has proper classrooms, laboratories and good library.

Shela: So at last you’ve found a place where you’d like to work. How many schools did you change since you started working?

Poonam: Quite a few, I think. Shela, I hear that your friend Rajiu is planning to sell her car. Is it true?

Shela: Yes, she told me so. Why, are you interested?

Poonam: Well, we were thinking of buying one. If the price is within our reach, that is.

Shela: I’ll talk to Rajiu and then call you back. Is that all right?

Poonam: Perfectly. Thanks, Shela. Bye- Bye.

Shela : Bye.
