Only perhaps


"Understood?"
"Yes... perhaps."
"No perhaps. It is a mental picture of reflection of evocation when/how/why you are backbiting. Backbiting is not good, do you agree?"

"Good. Come to terms. Now tell me, what do you need to say?"

I handed him the text that I received earlier . Needless to say, it is an open ended conversation, at least in the here and now.

Dear Nilu,

Sending you my friend as your tutor. He is a mere whimsical type, but nothing more than that, just be sure about that. He is friendly, understanding and witty too. All the best.

I was expecting a sigh. But I heard a moment of silence , there.

Only perhaps!
