and i am shure your life is full of them
[You]
7:58pm
In childhood I was very impressed by the story of hatimtai -- whose motto was NEKI KAR DARIYA ME DAL. Don't recount it.
I know, the hectic schedule of DC
the desire for UN TO THE LAST
that makes difference.
I am obliged for sharing past 10 minutes with you
thank you again
see you
bye
[You]
8:02pm
Also, when you do a good job, then mostly u r not thinking of recounting. That has to come naturally as it came for Mr. Patil
thanks
and bye

truth is I am not able to recall the incidence, but yes there is the hazy, blurred face of a girl matching this description somewhere in my mind.
