You know what is the latest talk or trend commonly that has hit on ladies these days ….. “Weight loss”…”Diet plans”…”zero waist”…...epidemic breakout among gals going to college, spinsters waiting to be married, married ladies, mothers, even grandmothers in town…to shed the extra fat..flabs from all areas of wrong place……………….They go to extend of fasting, straving or whatever….just to put on some more extra pounds after they get back to the normal routine….sign-up some weight-loss program in some health centers….helping others to earn some money out of our purse….good way of pumping the hard-earned money back to the economy to make it more vibrant…more liquidity in the market…very much required during the recession…..Let’s us not debate about the recession now…..Getting back to the point…….my pal wanting to shed some…not some…many unwanted fat deposits on the body……not only for that reason, will let you know later in couple of lines below……………started early morning walking habit….She has started hardly 2 days back……Coming to office on Monday, she is asking each and every one …”.have I reduced a little?”...handcuffing her hand right from arm till the wrist…..”Nope, buddy..you look the same”…What is the news? She goes …”hey, I’ve started walking theriyuma (u know)” …Me..”You will not get immediate effect…..It will take some time to reduce your long term deposition”….sizing her arm’s breadth…She got hurt…with a frown on her face “ mmmh!!!...”….She continues …” I weighed only 57 when I was in college..”….”My senior’s were envious of me…seeing my shape..how are you maintaining your body?…”….Yesterday…some of my friends were teasing me “Enna ma….perimeter perimeter-a- peruthitu vera…Kekkavey kastam ayiducchu”…(What yaa, you are becoming huge perimeter perimeter wise…Very difficult to hear”…..”Eppadi iruntha naan …ippadi ayiten”…(How was I before, how have I turned up)…We were laughing to glory…Archu too ….She continues…”I check my weight daily..there is no reduction…day before yesterday, I walked 2 km….but still there is no reduction…”…”Enna comedy da ethu”…..How can you reduce if you hog 2 cup of rice, chips, chicken briyani…and lots of icecream…….She happily sways her head to continue with her lunch…….She continues further …”I went with my in-laws for walking at 5:30 am….They were persuading me to wake up early in the morning forlong time…They are happy now that I’m joining them for walk…”..Before I could utter some positive strokes..”good”…She interrupts “Evallo adjust panniyittu poren theriyuma en in-laws oddey..Avanga pechhallam kettu nadakiren”…(You know how much I’m adjusting with my in-laws….I’m listening and behaving according to their wishes….”Pavam thenney nanu…”…. Hahaha….Are you going for morning walks to loose weight or satisfy your FIL?.....Comedy continues……Her FIL is Deputy Superintend of Police (DSP)….My friend is a hard-core non vegetarian….On Sunday, she told her in-laws to get some chicken biriyani from outside for lunch when they went out for shopping….On hearing this news, her husband in Singapore surprisingly quoted “ Me, as son, have not gone out after 6:00pm outside the house…My father was that strict…Now you are ordering him to get chicken biriyani for you…..Enna edu”….We were laughing our stomach out…”You not only make your hubby to dance to your tune but also your FIL…Good going”….”Sema comedy illa”….
Today for lunch, she exchanges her home-made food…spiced with lots of love by her beloved MIL…with another friend of mine, Swapna (got Chappathi from pantry with some ½ tsp of cauliflower curry)….saying “Orey rice saptu saptu kundayitten….” (Became fat eating only rice)…addan….Chappathi ”. Swapna is happy to have home-made curd rice….tastes awesome….
She is not aware of the fact that outside food also has the tendency to gain weight….Chappathi is smeared with oil……She continues “Chappathi sapta weight kuraiyum”..(One can reduce weigth by eating Chappathi…”…There she goes with another hilarious comment….hahahah..”Enna comedy arukka ennai patha”…..
Another passerby friend of Archu, on seeing her eating Chappathi …”enna veettu sapadilliaya…Enna vangi sapuderey…MIL samakkilliya…”..(Why no home-food?..why eating outside food…why MIL did not cook for you?...”…..She sheepishly answered..”Kondu vandey..Swapna itta exchange pannikitten…” (Brought but exchanged with Swapna)….She says “Ada kadavuley…..I took medicine for food poisoning as I had outside food in a hotel…..you exchange your home food with outside food, huh?”….Another round of laughter polluted the atmosphere………….
Wonder why people wear headphone’s in office? There could be many reasons…Let us get one by one down ..1. to listen to songs ..downloaded from net or shared from other system…. directly connected to net (if firewall allows) 2. not to allow the chilling AC to catch cold 3. to keep off from hearing non-sense conversation over the phone….The third reason is hilarious…Imagine your team members talking to their girl friends arguing whether or not to go out…to which place, when, which dress…worse still…imagine a fight conversation with spouse….or with children..repeating the same sentence 5 times…”Sapitiya..” “Enna sapitey”…(I do it over the phone…)…worse still…pride of secularism…people speaking 101 different languages…tamil, hindi, telghu, marathi, Punjabi…OMG!!! Save me …Some instance to wind up….My adjacent of course diagnolly opposite cubicle mate speaks loudly over the phone….last week…he was talking to his wife……she went to her mother’s place after fighting with him, I derived from his conversation…”Ennadi…un veetilla poyi okkandurukkey…nee vaadi vettukku…” (Why you have gone to mother’s place…you come home)……Another conversation with his MIL “..Ennaga… unga ponnoda vazhamudiyathu….divorce panniduven….” ( Why ma? I can’t live with your daughter…I’m going to divorce her)….Some conversation goes like this….with the tenant…”Ennaga…veedu kaalli pannren solli……unga wife kitten illam pesa mudiyathu…pomballaingalluttallam pesa mudiyathu….” ( Why? You said you will vacate the house…I can’t speak to your wife….can’t talk to ladies…”…..Another dialogue…usual intruder’s during office hours is calls from personal bankers…persuading for getting personal loans….sometimes same person will call the same caller 5 times the same day……”Why are you disturbing me like this? How many times should I tell you the same thing that I don’t want loan?..Can’t you understand English?...hey, you only spoke to me in the morning know…Usha…your name….Raising well above the allowable threshold level in office …”I’m not interested …don’t call me tomorrow or in future…not interested”……..Me: “Enna Soundar, rombha tension ayitingala? (Why Soundar, why tension?)…..”Enna comedy panranga…”
Here is another one……On Saturday, when I was taking out the dried cloths from the cloth line..the courier guy stopped before my front gate…”Samy???...courier “….I corrected him saying “not Samy…Sumy…..naan than” (That is me..). .I collected the cover over the gate….He asked me sign against the receiver’s column offering me the pen… I signed and returned it back to him…He questions me “Samy ungallukku aaru vennum? “..( How is Samy related to you?)....”…..I patiently corrected him once again “Samy….illangey..Sumy…Adu naan thanga…”…”Ennaga comedy panringey”….He jumped on his bike with a not-able-to-understand look on his face…..I was wondering what is the confusion on this simple name?....Looked down to see the cover…”it was mentioned “Samy”…oh….no wonder…..once again someone has screwed up my name……
