A dear story

I was only a couple of days into my new job in Poornam. Just like any other fresher, I was very nervous when I got stuck in a bug . I tried all arrows in my quiver and finally decided to consult with my team lead. My team lead was a lady by the name, Lachu.


I stood two steps behind her chair and waited for attention . Sensing someone behind her, she turned her chair and with a questioning face asked “yes ? Honey....!! ”

 
Hypocrisy, conformism and a few fresh doctors.

“Long straight hair, unshaven face and a checkered shirt that clings on to your body. You've to change all that. You are not a teenager anymore.”

 

I woke up from bed only 5 minutes back and it takes me atleast half an hour to boot-up ( as in computers ) after a good sleep. Dad had summoned me for repairing his laptop and I didn't see that it was a well hidden bait which he knew I'll bite on. I was still wondering how to remove the software FireStarter from Ubuntu, when dad gave that well hidden jab. And to be frank, I took the entire blow on my face. I was startled and silence ensued.

 
Private concerns

I knew that , there would be a lot of questions from my close family members, uncles and aunts about my recent trip and conference. I had an extra leap in every stride I took and an extra smile when saying hi to everyone. It was going to be my moment.

 


Uncle was the one who started , “ Aah , nee vanno ?” ( Oh , you back ? )


“Yes. Last week”, I replied gearing up for the shower of questions about conference and places I visited.


“appol, paper upayogikkan padichu alle ?” ( So, you learned how to use paper , eh ? )


That was not the question I was expecting , so it took me sometime to grasp what he meant. The pride on my face turned to an “embarrassed smile” , when it dawned on me that uncle was referring to “Tissue Paper”. Of all the questions possible , he was only curious about how I went to toilet.
