Now the image cannot be shaken in my mind.

Thank you so much, David. It keeps me going. 🙂
This made me smile, Terveen. My Grandma once told me I had a face for radio. It must be a man thing, but I don’t know many men who do enjoy having their photo taken. Maybe it’s down to the lack of light in our man caves 😂
Haha! That’s a brilliant reply. And your grandma’s sense of humor is lovely. Sarcasm and wit hold together pretty well. Thank you so much, Davy. 🙂
Had a good chuckle! 👍🏼😆
Haha! Thanks so much, Aaysid. 🙂

I must work on my French. Very little knowledge of the language. 🙂
You have a great week ahead too.
Let’s exchange French and Hindustani…
I agree with David, you have an outstanding sense of humor, Terveen; and with the high quality writing style of yours, it’s always a perfect combination. ☺️
That’s so kind of you to say, Jeff. And coming from a writer of your caliber makes it even more special. I appreciate you and your words. 🙂
It’s always my pleasure, Terveen. Oh, thank you so much. I feel the same way about your writing. Always have. I appreciate you and your words too. ☺️
At first I was feeling bad about the guy, but the last few lines made laugh. Love the humour.
Haha! Thanks a lot. I guess he’ll just have to stay away from his fear or from the camera. A tough compromise. Glad you stopped by. 🙂
While reading it I was imagining a monkey face 🙊. I enjoyed it
Haha. Thanks so much. 🙂
Wonderful sense of humor. Loved it.
Thanks so much. 🙂
