I lost my cool this New Year!

Dear sir,

Such an ordinary, routine event happening to almost anybody has been penned so juicily by you.It is frustrating because it happened in the morning. Somehow, we all assume that every single activity should happen perfectly in the morning hours every single day.
May be, dealing with a little discomfort is better off than major ones.

Happy Tamil NewYear!

 

Dear Cheeniya Sir,

A wonderful write up with its predictable dose of humour which makes each article of yours a delight to savour.
Sir if its of any solace to you I can only say that thank the Almighty, we do not have to light the match stick Rajnikant style else by the end of us we would all be nervous wrecks.

Yes I do agree that the quality of patience is waning .We are not as patient as our fathers and forefathers used to be and the result of course is the 120/80 mark on the sphygmomanometer which remains a lucky number for most.
Sir as far as your wifes resemblance to the Durga Ma is concerned ,I guess the DH's here will add a few more versions to it like Chandalika, Mahishasur Marthini etc.

Actually the life now is so fast paced , everyone wants everything imprompto and just cannot spare a minute .Now marriages are solemnized on net . Infact Poojas and Abhishekams too are a part of everyday routine of most ,but on net. Fruits are ripened with the help of chemicals , for faster sale no time to wait for it to ripe naturally . Well who cares if health goes for a toss. Maggie noodles , the two minute wonder is a meal for most ,Very difficult to add a minute more.... And the list is endless ...

The only one patient around is God. He still listens to our woes. He still blesses us so generously , He still makes a day of 24 hours. He still maintains day after night and night after day. He still brings in the seasons to us.He still nurtures the child in the mothers womb for nine months and as long as He is patient ,we are safe.!!

Love,
Your Mol

 

Dear Sri,
Our best wishes to you for a healthy, happy and peaceful new year.
Man and woman, belonging to the same species are made different is the only inference I can draw from what you have written about striking the match!
What could not be accomplished by you in several attempts was effectively done by your wife in a single strike.
Typically behaving like a man, you got impatient when “your orders were not obeyed”, but typically like a woman, your wife, gave the job, however small, its due importance and did it patiently and hence successfully!
Well, Sri, this year started for me & Vish with a healthy bang – I made Oats pradaman. His sisters who came home were simply astonished that the seemingly insipid (more because it is healthy!) oats could be transformed into such a delectable dish!!

You lost your cool when you were unsuccessful with the matchbox, but complain that your wife looks like Durga when she runs out of cooking gas. But from what you have written, I guess you got it “nicely from her” on the New Year’s day!
So, I guess, Sarvadhari started with a bang for you!!
Love,
Chithra.

 

dear sri,
you have become a pet here and we all wait for any expression thrown in by u with ur inimitable style which we have come to accept and search for the inner humour.

the last line proved all so sheepishly what it is to be caught in the act..wonderful, happy new year to you and your wife, we have it tomorrow, so all things getting ready for vishu...may u have healthy years ahead..sunkan

 

Dear Cheeniya,

Another humorous post! :cool2: A cool one really!
We also celebrated Puthu Varsham today....then when we called back home, everyone was talking abt this govts decision. has it been approved and put in action?! Also realised that though there were special programs in Sun tv, there was no mention of the wishes for new year!

True that such small incidents can make one lose ones cool. And the Gas incident is something which happens in every household and i guess since it is our responsibility it tends to make us lose our head! But i really miss all those small tensions here.........and ur DW rightly said it all......"And when she said that only when people faced such a hardship that they would realise others’ predicament, I just smiled! "

I enjoyed the talk about the homosapiens and our patience .....true that people get so worked up for small things and have no patience at all!

 

Dear Cheeniya Sir,

As you have said that it is your job to light the sacred lamps everyday then you must be aware of the condition of the match box and the stick. If you are aware, then it is not the bad omen. You would have kept postponing the renewal of the match box and it has showed its validity on the right day for you to realize.

I wonder, how your DW was able to lit the match stick with just one strike! She was adding coal to the fire. A fire for realization.

Am I adding some more.Big Laugh

Well, I enjoyed the write-up.

 

very true sudha,
my mom who is blind was also complaining not a single pudhu varusha vazhthu but something always about 15th year, cheh ivaalellam oru thamizhala, is her complaint...how very true something wrong with the channels..sunkan

 

dear sir,

enjoyed your post as usual...i cud very well imagine the scene.......but in my house it wud have been the opposite...i wud be the one chucking out the match box after a no of strokes and my DH wud have lit it with one strike giving me a benevolent smile saying patience has never been one of your virtues......a very happy new year to u and your family

mindi..
