The word most (well everyone) wait for ,and fear.
Appraisal.

It was appraisal time for me.....
...and here is a piece of conversation that went on...


Me : Good morning.!!

(Greetings are exchanged with the appraiser and reviewer in a very non formal way, then again it was never meant to be formal.!)

Reviewer : Good morning.!

(It was quite early in the morning. Usually this conversation takes place around 10 A.M . But this time it was taking place at 6 A.M)

Appraiser : You haven't been doing well I see..! (getting straight to the point)

Me : err,what makes you say so?

Appraiser : Just look at you ....you are .... 2 maybe 3 !

Reviewer : come on..you are being a bit harsh here.

(Me : (phew) alas, someone talks on my behalf)

Appraiser : oh come now....its easy to see...he is going down here!

(Reviewer grins)
Appraiser : alright lets put him to test.

(I take the test dutifully.)
Appraiser : ah see....its 2.!(with a smile that was part victory part looking down at my 'misery' )

(I sometimes thought it could be 4 even...but i was wrong.!)

Me : ok ok....I'll try to do a 5 next time....on the other side.

Appraiser : lets see whether you are full of false promises or not.!

(Off that ..only time will tell...)



And that was the end of my Appraisal........


Disclaimer :
The characters in the above mentioned text are real and not imaginary. And any resemblance to real life is highly intentional.

The characters are :
Me : Me.
Appraiser : Mom.
Reviewer : Dad.

The number that is mentioned is my decrease in weight.
The situation is when I return home after a long absence (nearly a month!).

There are many a life mysteries.
Another addition: My mom always finds me thinner the next time she sees me.


until my next Appraisal ....... see ya! :-)
