The other side of mustache

"Hey, have you heard the song Aaj kal paav zameen par nahin padte hain mere"
"Oh yes! From the movie Ghar. Its a Lata classic. I love it."
"I hum that song all the time these days. It has become my anthem."
"What! I don't understand."
"This place is too large. I wish we had a taxi service from the class to the toilet. Most times, I am worried I will lose control by the time I get to the toilet. There so much running around from class to class, from class to toilet, to the dining hall, to the office and so many other places, which are all a mile away from each other. I am always on the move; running from place to place. So much so that my paav does not touch the zameen at all."
"But its good for the children. One day two fellows, wanted to go to the toilet. They came back 45 minutes and told me it takes that long to go to the toilet, use it and come back. I actually believed it and let me come without uttering a word."

"Please don't draw a mustache on my brother's face tomorrow."
"Why? What happened?"
"Yesterday we spent many hours trying to take it off. Even this morning it was seen faintly."
"But, he is vehement on having the mustache."
"Oh please don't listen to him. I am the one who has to scrub his face to take that mustache off. I spent two hours yesterday and my hands are paining still. So don't do it."
"You can use cream."
"Scream! What do you mean I can scream?"
"Not scream, cream."
"Scream?"
"Cream, C R E A M, cream"
"Oh cream! Which cream?"
"Any face cream. I used it and there was no problem."
"Oh please forget the face cream. Just don't draw the mustache on his face tomorrow. Anyway, you did not draw it properly yesterday. One side was longer than the other. It was clearly visible."
**************
"Hey, you look good with that hair bun on your head."
"Hmmm! Do you know it is made out of other people's hair? They put these beads on the bun over other people's hair."
"Gross!"
"Do you want to touch? Here, go ahead."
"Hey! Go away! Take your bun and head off my face."
