Confusion about "My Favorite Pet name"

In a suvery there were some questions about our personal tastes. One among them is to specify "My Favorite Flower". At that time I forgot all the names of flowers except Rose. After thinking for a while, only Cauliflower and Andy flower(Zimbabwe cricketer) came in my mind. Later I remembered Jasmine and Lilly. But I got confused between them and at last I wrote Rose as the answer. Next question was about "My Favorite Pet name". It's very easy to answer. With out any second thought, I filled my favorite pet as "It's dog, and if I have a dog in future, then I would think about what to name my dog. Answering similar questions I submitted my report.

After a few minutes one of my teammates asked a doubt - "Is it favorite pet name or the favorite pet". The girl who was taking that survey answered, "It is your favorite pet name". Immediately I got surprised and said, "I think it's about name of the pet and not our pet name". With a smile, she reponded, "Both are same", and left from my desk.

How can it be? My pet name is not "Dog" and even if it is, it can't be my favorite.

Do you need to know anyone to attend a marriage? (Part-II)

I stepped inside the wedding hall. I have never seen anyone of them before, even in my dreams. I just know a name (not sure whether it is of bride's father or bridegroom's father). I asked one of the visitors - who is Raghupati? "That tall person standing on the right side of the stage," he replied, pointing towards Raghupati.

I approached him and said loudly, "Hello, My name is Varun, I am my Dad's son. Sorry, I am Krishna's son." I am not sure, how much the songs from the loud speaker entertaining the visitors but it's definitely making my voice inaudible to Raghupati. After presenting my gift with usual wishes, I bid bye to Raghupati.

I expected that he would show me the way to dinner hall, but he didn't. Though I thought to leave the place, the hunger in me forced to search for the dinner hall. I was so much hungry that I couldn't even recognize the food items even though they are familar to me. While swallowing my favourite dosas, I saw the wedding couple having their dinner. They seemed like made for each other.

As it was already late, I started to return from there (with a hope that this would be a smooth journey). While I was passing through the stage where Raghupati was standing, to my surprise I saw the wedding couple at the stage. I am totally confused now. How is it possible for the wedding couple to be present at both the places. Whom did I see at the dinner hall? Is it teleporting or just my illusion? Had I gone to the right place? Anyway I hope my gift has reached the right destination.
Past, Present and Future - All are abstract.
