Tears continue to roll.. n still continues.. n she continues to weep further..


Sis:" WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING ??"

Me:"Texting my friend..He is coming here tomo.."

Sis:"You can do that after u r done with the onions!!"

Me:"I thought i can cut some extra onions for more soup.. i just read the recipe on the internet.. may be he will also like it!!"

Sis:"Crap.. finish it off soon.. atleast dont text when u r cutting onions"


She is crying.. weeping.. crying.. wondering how many litres of tears can her eyes produce..


Sis:" What r u doing re??"

Me:"Texting him..he says he lovesssss onion soup..with extra onions in it.. so i am going to cut few more.."

Sis:"Whaaaaaaaat???"

Before she could speak, dad gave her d remote..Finally remote in her hand.. Starts to watch this movie-Super hero movie!!! Now she laughs so hard that more tears add to the ones that were already flowing..


She finally gets wet with tears..All the while she did not pay attention to what I was doing. She turns back to see (teary eyed) if I am done with the onions n lo...


Sis:(shouts!)"hOW ON EARTH CAN YOU SLEEP WITH A PLATE FULL OF ONIONS NEXT TO YOU???"

Me:"Sorry, i dozed off watching that movie! Did not understand what was so funny.."


Sis:" I dont want your soup.. anyways you have been cutting onions for hours from now.. its already 12.. m going to sleep"

Me(pleading):"Please please.. taste it n tell.. i will make it in just 5 minutes"

Sis:"Well, thats exactly what you said at 7 in the eve.. "

Me:"Enough.. no arguements. Eat or you will die"

Sis:(anyways thats what will happen even after i eat..)” You mean drink that!!.. right!!

Me:"C'mon.. taste n tell me"

She:"Taste what? soup is missing.."

Mom:"Dont you know its 40 ruppes per kg in the market? And it was solid One and a half kilos there in the basket!!"

Sis:"Why yelling at me?? he only made it!!"

Mom:"he said you instructed him!!"

Me:"Whaaaaaaaaaatttt!!#$*)"

Mom:" i have always told you not to do it.. Why do you waste things.. who is going to clean the crap.. even the street dog will sniff it and run away.."

Calling the celebrity who was sitting in the loo...


So here is the incidence..

Many times they showcase the celebrity talks on tv after a successful movie. This time it was Paiyya. My sister being a biiiig fan of karthi had crossed her limits. Kept his photo as her fb profile pic, pasted his posters, sings the song day n night.. infact started calling her female friends as -"hey mama, enna panra!!" (the punch dialog in that movie!)... so it is obvious for such a fan to call n talk to the celebrity on tv show, if given a chance. n yes, the chance was given..but partially...

Karthi, Tamanna n Mr.Lingusamy were on air, where they interact with the other commoners. My sister kept trying to get the chance... n all the while, the reply was- busy, busy, busy.. dad got fed up & started trying the no. from our landline.. she used all her means to get connected.. but disappointments...dad went to kitchen to be a dutiful father of two (mom not at home so dad's cooking today!)... And that's when i get into the room n dial my phone no. (whenever i misplace my mobile i dial it from my landline n start searching for it) phew.. finally got it.. who threw my mobile under the bed??? anyways, who cares. i place back the receiver n go to the loo.... with my mobile!!!

dad resumes to his calling.. n presses redial.. n lo.. there goes the ring!!!

tring tring tring....

Dad: Suryaaaaaaaaa.. its ringing finally...
Surya runs like a P.t Usha clone.. breathless like shankar mahadevan.. runs all the dialogs in her mind.. "how ar eu karthi, i m a big fan, movie was such a rocking piece n...."
disappointment... cuz nobody picks the call...
Surya: I think they are talking to each other dad.. that is y they dint pick it.. hard luck pa..
Dad: Dont worry sweetheart... my hands are lucky, i will dial again.. (he redials)

tring tring tring....

Dad: eureka!!! see..
Surya: breathless again.. reruns all her dialogs n statements in her mind.. and..
Phone: Hello..
Surya: hello.. i m surya from tanjavur..
Phone: I know all that.. i m in the loo now.. we wil discuss all tat after i come out...
Surya: (Puzzled at first!!... n then realization dawns.. (it takes more than a minute for girls to understand things u know!) .... finally fuming!!!)....grrrrrrr... looks at dad wid ferocious red eyes..
dad: i can see some fumes n smokes.. i guess i left something on flame in the kitchen.. brb..

i come out of the loo and see a sudden change in my sister's avatar!!!

Now sitting here blue eyed n one hand factured m typing all this with one little finger of mine...

moral of the story: dont take your phone with you in the loo...

p.s- i wont be able to post anything new for few days as the little finger will also be broken by her when she reads this!!! :(
