Mrs Simi Prakash is a bored house wife, she was desperate to see somebody exactly look like her, she is not going to be satisfied with the mirror and photographs, she wants to meet her look alike, she wants to find out how time has made effects on her face and how bad or ugly she looks, she wants to compare herself with her look alike!

She asked her husband, if he has ever seen anybody looked like her, Mr. Prakash said, he never had!

‘Well’ she said, ‘I wish you would begin to look around and see if you can find some body, if you do find her be sure and find a way to make an appointment with her for me, so I can get a good look at her'.

Mr. Prakash did not take this seriously at the time, but after a week he saw a woman in the market who was looking just like his wife, as if God has created a photocopy!

He followed the woman, she was going in a mall, at the door, a man joined her, Mr. Prakash was experienced enough to note that both are husband and wife.  He followed the couple inside the mall, woman entered in a garment store meant for ladies leaving behind the stranger for some window shopping, Mr. Prakash has the chance to catch up and strike conversation with the strange man. He went and greeted the man, ‘Hello !’,  The stranger replied, ’Hello …?’ and looked at Mr. Prakash, trying to figure out whether he ever meet this man.

‘Well’ said the other man, ’What’s up?’ Mr. Prakash nodded foolishly, coughed a little and said,’ I do not want to be inquisitive but would you mind telling me that the woman who was just with you is your wife?’

‘I don’t think it any of your business whether she is my wife or not. Still I don’t mind telling you that she is, and been married fifteen years.

‘Thanks’, said Prakash, ’so have I and my wife’ he continued,’ My wife is as good looking as your wife, both are similar, like twins, you can exchange each other and nobody would notice, couldn’t tell them apart if you stood them up side by side and turn the telescope on them. That is the reason I speak to you. My wife is crazy to see another woman who looked like her.

The other man was very happy,’ My dear sir’ he said,’ you came to me today morning in the disguise of an angel. My wife is harping on the same subject since last six months.

The other man was Mr. Sinha.

A meeting was organized over a dinner. They also decided not to reveal the truth to their wives; they preferred to let them find out themselves.

The dinner passed off pleasantly. The two women studied each other with admirable tact. They exchanged pleasantries and waved each other off, The moment they got beyond earshot of the Sinhas, Mrs. Simi Prakash said,’ she is rather nice looking, don’t you think?’

‘Yes’ Said Prakash, ’I do’

‘You know what’ she went on,’ First, I thought she looks a good deal like me but when I studied her I found that resemblance was not so striking and there are many points of differences.’ She continued, ’my complexion is much clearer then hers, my lashes much stronger and darker, my teeth evener and my shoulder and neck better, and I hate to think that the lines and hollows in my face show up as plainly as they do in hers.’

‘Oh, of course she is good looking but she can not hold a candle to you.’

‘But you must find out some body who looks like me’, she said.

‘Sure dear’ he said, ‘he did not wanted to disturb peace in his family life.

Sinha didn’t show much enthusiasm to meet again and Prakash understood why…!?
