Pethals that reminds me...So I blabber !..Hmmmmmm !...Anyway it is a new day ,a new morn and time to move on.Its going to be a tougher day at work.The seventh pay commission is due and the noose is getting tighter with every passing day.The revised pay scales are already being discussed and when this comes into force, I will be seeing the third pay commission during my career..
Each day is a new experience,some nice ,some unpleasant.Yet don't we forget all that is unpleasant and remember the nice ones.Maybe I go a bit too far..I share my experiences...Sorry ! oops Instead of keeping it to myself,I share my pethals..Anyway hang in there and kindly bear with me..
I forgot to mention that I can get angry too.I am normally patient and very tolerant.But at times I can blow my top ,without anybody really being affected by it.I do not scream or shout or express my anger in rude words..I just become silent...
This is also a problem.When I am angry and genuinely enraged, I start working more harder.Perhaps that is a way of moving out of a situation that has caused the anger .Infact ,come to think of it,it helps a lot . I calm down instantly and move on as if nothing had ever happened .I do not carry grudges.I forgive .I simply put myself in the other person's shoe and I become considerate.Who am I to judge anybody ?
Rani is a sweeper.She comes by 5AM in the mornings ,sweeps the common areas and waters the plants.Very recently a cat has made our garage its home.She is happily nestled under our car with her kittens.
Rani feeds the cats.She comes to me everyday with request for milk.I do not mind and happily I give it to her.
All that I have requested her is to take the cats to the street outside and feed them there.Now she will never listen..
In spite of several reminders ,she keeps making the same mistake of feeding the cats within the building compound .especially near my entrance door.
The cats are also aware that I give her the milk.So whenever she comes to me,the cats follow her religiously.
With no intention to hurt cat lovers....Oh ! But ! Uggghhhh ! I hate cats .Somehow, I simply cannot stand these catty felines.
Sometimes when Rani comes in,they manage to enter too and that is when T.Nagar comes to know that a kind hearted woman is in distress.
Now how do you expect me to keep my cool and also not blabber ? Rani gets a firing and milk every day.
Today morning while drawing the kolam , she came to me asking for milk.I completed drawing the kolam and went into the kitchen.By the time I could come out with the milk,the pussies had entered.Prancing with delight, one sat quietly under the dining table,another slipped into a bedroom nearby and the other two ran inside the house.
I was aghast.My husband was not at home and I was helpless. Rani and myself chased them into every nook and corner inside the house for nearly 20 minutes before we finally managed to evict them out.
I am famished now and what else do you expect me to do ?I had to write to feel better and I am feeling good :-)
Now the world is talking about terror attacks,mishaps,murders and religion.They do not report Chokkanayaki's travails.Who else but me could do it better ?and who else but friends for readership ?
Hmmm ! Hmmmm ! I guess there is no way out and until the world starts talking about her ......Aah ! Yes ! the pethals (blabber) is here to stay ..........
