About a month back, December 1st to be exact, C and I were walking near our place. I have a habit of glancing towards the nightsky whenever I am outside. And that night I saw an amazing formation; two brightly lit stars in one line with a crescent shaped moon right below in the middle just like a smiley. This celestial arrangement was breathtaking.
The two stars were actually the planets Venus and Jupiter. They appeared to be in a single line although they are far apart from each other. Apparently this happens very rarely, almost once in a lifetime!
And I sure was lucky to have witnessed it. I hastily took a pic on my mobile which has a VGA cam(at times like this and only at times like this I wish I had a better phone!). I badly wanted a nicer pic of this 'Smiley'.
So today I get a mail from C and I was so pleasantly surprised. This is what it said:

"Even the heavenly bodies failed when they tried to replicate your smile :-)
(I wonder if galaxies are capable enough to replicate your laugh)."
And I have been smiling since :-)
