‘Specimen’ Series #1

 

The free-spirited and carefree,  yet incredibly talented kid walks in. A ‘namuna’ (specimen equivalent in Hindi) that plonks itself at the entrance of the office asks her ‘why didn’t you come last two days?’ In all honesty,  she says she was down with fever.  The namuna replies,  ‘Oh really?  Are you sure?  You look completely well and refreshed! ‘Her smile is quite famous.  The moment any sort of a frown forms on that sweet face, more than the self, rest of the world experiences a flutter of panic.So,  she flashes one of her famous smiles and walks past the namuna; gets to her cubicle at work and resumes her affair with MS Office! Namuna walks up to her and says,  ‘So lucky! You walk in and out of office anytime you like’. This time the cute kid doesn’t bother responding,  she pretends to be deaf and dumb. In fact encounters of the past five months with this particular namuna have made her gain expertise in such pretense!Play deaf and dumb in response to annoying comments from Specimen!
