Weird smile

A close friend of mine, and I were talking about general stuff. Stuff that happens in general. And somewhere in the middle of nothing, this bugger friend of mine said something that gave me a chill down my spine.. Here's what he said.. And I quote...
"You know what? This time next month, I won't be able to come to your room anymore. After th exams get over, it'll be a long time before the next time we meet. Crazy shit, right?"
What a bastard, I say! The fellow barely just kept me from crying. I drowned in the deluge of overpowering emotions, and all that sort of crap that no one wants to hear, let alone read anyway. All that concerns me right now is Psilocin, one smile, and a presentation+ report that I am supposed to submit tomorrow, that I haven't started working on till now. Besides, to be honest, the presentation and report don't exactly concern me as much I'd like to admit. Wait till midnight today. Things shall change. Ranting..... How good I can get at writing rants! Rant... Rant... Rant... I can't talk a lot. And whenever I do, 

Jo bhi main, Kehna chahu, (Whatever it is that I want to say)
barbaad kare, alfaaz mere...(My poor choice of words manage to screw it all up )
Songs are amazing. Someone already having gone through what you went through, put it all into a tolerable piece of media that you'd happily listen to. It's the easiest way to tell your problem to an audience. Make a song out of what you want to talk about. And so, what earlier was a pain to listen to, now becomes entertainment. Brilliant!!

Coming back to my bugger friend, who reminded me that college's coming to an end, I want to kill this chap, in all honesty. But then, of all things, I thought of something.... Why is it so difficult to hold a smile during a photo shoot?
Ever felt that compelling urge to run away from the frame because the photograph is taking a tad too long to click your photograph, specially when you have to hold onto that drooping smile, that is on the verge of evaporating into thin air any moment now?
What a pain! You smile for the photograph, hoping that it'll be over in a click. But this photographer fiddles with his fancy DSLR for what seems like forever. That pretty smile that you'd so painstakingly maintained on that handsome/gorgeous looking face of yours seems to leak away into some invisible gutter. But then, if you're in a group, there's some respite. There always will be one in the gang who will say the most inappropriate thing possible that will titillate everyone's funny bone. By this time, the photographer would have satisfied all of his camera's fantasies, just in time to click the photo of your gang and you. But! BUT! BUT! All of a sudden, if there's a lady in your gang, she'll most certainly want to make her hair right because a whiff of air played around with her hair. That's what.. That takes another five minutes. The lady's hair's all set. Then again, there's a spike in the DSLR's libido. And there goes the day. All for the want of ONE photograph. Mind you, after the DSLR is done with its share of coming, you still have that smile to hold onto. 
Can't a smile be like Salvador Dali's moustache? Just stays there...
