Look at the picture... With my nephew Diptakhya... Observe the contrast between the two, and you will have the same smile that both of us are displaying... :-)
Ok, coming to the point... That day we had a family gathering. One of my brother in law was surfing through the pictures in my handset.. As he was looking at this picture, something clicked my mind. I asked him,
"Dada, wait a minute!! Look, how much fairer I am as compared to Diptakhya... What do you say?"
Though I asked him humorously in a funny way, he took the question seriously... He answered,
"Actually Partha, as a guy, your facial complexion is good enough... Anyway dark colour suits the boys most.."
I just smiled.. I took the handset and asked the same question to one auntie, who was sitting beside me...
She looked at the photograph for quite a sometime and then replied,
"Actually Partha, u see, the complexion of Diptakhya's chest is different from that of his face... And you are behind him in the picture... That may be one reason for the contrast or else, I think, there may be a problem with the flash of the camera..."
My smile increased even more... May be it's true that diplomacy is proportional to one's age...
Then I asked the same question to one niece who is studying in 7th standard. She didn't say a word, just displayed a shy smile... Ok, may be she is in the process of developing diplomacy...
At last I called one niece, studying in 2nd standard, who was playing something nearby..
"Rimli, come here... "
I showed her the photograph and asked her, "Who is fairer?"
You know, without wasting time even for a moment she replied, "Diptakhya." and ran to continue her play...
I mean... No diplomacy at all... :-):-)
