AcquainTVance ….!
I saw her and felt,
I have known her, met her somewhere,
But was unable to place, where….?.
The way she was looking, I felt sure,
She wanted me to remember,
Unable to place, I asked her.
“Have we met earlier?
Your appear so very familiar.”
To my surprise she replied “No, Sir”
“We have never met & this is quite usual,
I happen to be a TV serial actor & producer”,
“Oh! Yes, I see,” I said a bit taken aback,
“I admire your serials & acting”
My flight was just then announced,
“God bless you, I should be going”
I remembered this incident,
when soon after I saw another acquaintance.
I felt I knew her, but was unable to place,
So I kept remembering, hiding my face,
In which TV serial I might have seen this face?
Was surprised & startled, when she came face to face,
And as if badly hurt said “Uncle, what is this,
Don’t you recognize me; I am “so & so,”
And how come you have so forgotten me”
I was taken aback and said.
“Oh! I see, I am indeed extremely sorry,
Dear, you have become so charming,
I mistook you for a TV personality
of some reckoning,
& got diverted trying to search in which
serial I might have seen you acting”
I know she felt flattered, for then we chatted,
exchanged information about welfare of our families,
And I felt happy about what she was doing
quite admirably in the field of her calling…
Now a days, in many such situations,
I find myself always in quite confusion,
Can not place, whether this is a TV person
Or an acquaintance from an old association
even though I watch TV serials,
very meagerly and not so often…
Is TV viewing now redefining
what we call “an acquaintance?”
Or should we call them “AcquainTVance” ….!

@Ray
Thank you so much for your comments & stars.
Vishvnand,
ah blame it on TV?
Well penned episodes.
I think this phenomenon comes to many of us early and late. Know the face but what’s the name? and vice versa.
Look on the bright side, it’s a blessing to have personally touched so many lives that sometimes the memory may struggle,
