Her first camera experience.

 



Always after 5 o'clock, we friends gather together in the college canteen or outside the college. Not many but there were few people who knew that I always bring my camera in my bag, and there is even a little girl who knows about it. 


We friends were gossiping with each other, meanwhile, she came near me and asked " dai Aaja camera lyaunu Vacha" and I replied "umm..", and then she said: ea ae.


Her voice was already telling, she wanted to play with a camera but didn't have enough courage to ask me for that. so,I asked her " chaluney ho",

she said "bigriyo vane, malai ta chalaunai aaudaina"

I replied: "bigriyo vaney ma aafai banauchu lau timi photo khicha" 

and I opened my bag, brought the camera, and handed it to her. 


She opened the camera and took some pictures. She was very excited and shared that this was her first camera experience.


After that our college guard uncle came closer and said "le nani, vai ko ra mero photo khich", this little kid also came in the frame in his heroic look. 


When I was looking at these pictures back home, I realized , what if I told her I didn't bring my camera, I wouldn't have experienced her precious smile.

Maybe one day she will remember there was the Dai from whom I got my first camera experience in my life.


I think intentionally or unintentionally what we do, if our small gesture can put a smile on someone's face then that is the best income you can earn.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.”

I’m 44 and my wife is 44. She works on an art advisory committee, so attending galas, events, and client meetings is part of her job. She often meets clients for coffee, lunch, or dinner, and I don’t always know the details and that’s completely normal because it’s part of her work. She’s always professional, transparent about her friendships, and I trust her judgment completely. Recently, she mentioned she’s going to a gala with a friend, S. He’s a wealthy client she met about a year ago, and they became friends professionally. She introduced me to him once, and he seems like a genuinely good person. He invited her as his “date” to this gala, and my wife said it’s fine. I did ask her though, if she’s actually going as a “date,” and she just laughed and said, “Date doesn’t always mean romantic.” She said it’s important for her she could get networking and meet new people. Then she smiled and said, “If I get into this gala next time, I won’t need to take that man with me, I’ll take you...

Update- My fiance’s “vows disaster” just hit rehearsal day & it got worse

For context- my fiance accidentally sent our officiant his draft vows, the one full of placeholders like “insert emotional stuff here” and “make her cry but not ugly cry”? Yeahhh. He promised he fixed them. But he did not. At the rehearsal, the officiant asked if he wanted to do a practice run. My man confidently steps up, opens his phone & starts reading the exact same draft. He gets halfway through “insert heartfelt memory here” before realizing, mid-sentence - what’s happening. The entire wedding party is trying not to lose it. Our officiant just sighed and said, “Well, at least you’re honest.” He is now rewriting his vows under supervision like it’s a school detention. The bridesmaids made him a folder titled “FINAL FINAL vows - DO NOT SCREW UP.docx.” If the ceremony goes anything like this rehearsal, I might livestream it for educational purposes. (And yes, I posted the original chaos on r/WeddingJokes — I feel like I owe them an update at this point)

I accidentally went on a date with someone who thought I was their other Tinder match

So, a couple months ago I matched with this girl on Tinder. We had a pretty normal convo, nothing crazy, but eventually she asks me to grab coffee. Chill, right? We meet at this cute local spot, she gives me a quick hug, and right off the bat she says: “Wow, you look even better than your hiking pics!” Problem is… I don’t hike. Like, I don’t even walk briskly. I just nod and laugh it off. We keep talking and she starts referencing stuff that makes zero sense. “Your dog is so cute—what was his name again? Bentley?” I don’t have a dog. Never have. Then she mentions how I told her I used to live in Colorado. Again, not me. I’ve never even been west of Kansas. So now I’m trying to figure out if I have early onset memory loss or if she’s mistaking me for someone else entirely. Finally, mid-latte, I ask, “Hey, just to clarify… what’s my name?” She looks confused. “Jake?” Friends… my name is not Jake. We just stared at each other for a solid five seconds before she burst out laughing. Appare...
