How Many Times I Lie

I was traveling back home from office in government bus an elderly lady was sitting next to me. She was scolding someone and talking to herself. Though I didn’t understand whom she was referring to but a statement by her caught my mind and stood stand still. She said “POI SONA VAAI KU POJANAM KADAIKATHU” (MOUTH WHICH LIES WILL NOT GET FOOD). I started exploring myself whether I tell lies in my life. I looked back that day to verify whether I lied that day. The results are as follows.

What happened in the morning? Mr.A came from next cubicle (he is a blade fellow. If he starts talking then you will not be given any chance to saw your view) and asked to give me company for break fast. To escape from him I said “No da! just now I am coming from Food court.” Ohhhh.. That was the first lie for today! [Lie number one]. Then I was thinking about the next time I lied today. I was submitting my leave form to my PL saying I have to meet doctor but the fact is I am going to JODHA AKBAR with friends so that was the second lie today [Lie number two].

Then the 3^rd one happened soon today. I was chatting with Ms.B (Damn beautiful girl from my training batch. Now in pune) at that time my friend pinged me for chat but I replied saying I got lot of work to do. Hehe that was the third lie today [Lie number three]. I felt sad as the number is increasing; I prayed I should have lied any more. But my prayers were not answered the fourth lie I said came to my remembrance it was to my mother. She asked whether I can come earlier today so that I have to go with her to my aunt’s house (my aunt is a boring creature who keeps on advising me). I said “No ma, I got more work today. I will come late today.” This is my fourth lie today [Lie number four].

I felt bad about myself. “chey how many times I have lied today I should decrease it from tomorrow” Today my friend Ms.C [she is quiet dark in complexion] was wearing a bright red color salwar and asked me how it looks. The 5^th lie was born here. I said “gr8! You look so beautiful today!” This is my fifth lie today [Lie number five]

I stopped counting about it again. I am sure I would have crossed 7 today. I analyzed the situations I lied today, maximum they didn’t affect others, some to make others happy and some to make myself happy. By that time I reached home but those words of that elderly lady kept ringing in ears. I entered inside seeing me my mom called, “DAI SAPDA VA DA” [COME FOR FOOD].

I remembered those words “POI SONA VAAI KU POJANAM KADAIKATHU” and smiled myself.

Real Winners of Feb14th

That was a special program for Valentines Day in a channel. I was watching that with my 10yrs old neighbor boy. He was more interested to watch it. Before i asked i though it might be wrong to ask this question to a 10yr old boy but realized that i am wrong after his answers.

“Love na ena da?”
(What is love?)

He laughed at my question and replied as he knows everything

“Anna. Ungalku love na theriyatha?”
(bro. don’t you know about love?)

“oru anna vum oru akka vum srichte irpanga, antha anna gift kudupanga. Ithu dan love”
(a boy and a gal will be always laughing, that boy will give gifts to her. This is love)

“epdi da theriyum?”
(how did you know?)

“nan dan TV la pathurkene..”
( I have seen that in TV already)

I was astonished by his answers how the media has occupied the minds of public without any age difference. Everything is made business today and Valentines Day is not an exception but a big profit goal for those.

Mainly the mobile companies, we will be getting advts regarding this feb14 to know about our chances of getting a proposal on that day. They won’t stop with this alone they also give tips right from the color of dress we should wear that day to the gifts we can present to our lover. We have to pay 4 to 5rs per SMS.

Next the gift shops in big cities. They are introducing various models and types of gifts every year to attract customers and the prices of those things increase every year. Presenting gifts to our dear ones is one of the real ways to preserve our remembrance but those shops are taking it as an advantage to boost their profits. A small greeting card is now available for minimum costs of 50rs. The business through flowers is separate.

Next the media like television channels and radio take the remaining time of the people through their so called special programs. We can call to the number given and can speak about our love. What is the guarantee given that a person won’t misuse this chance to tell names of others who is not in love with that person. Recently a new trend is followed in channels is the “love meter”, i.e. if we send our name along with the partner to the number given as sms, they will tell the percentage of our love. I saw some people getting even 0%. (So sad. SMS costs waste).

I am not against celebrating valentines day but the business minded people takes this as an advantage and gives us some stupid ideas to extract money which not only spoil our mind through their results but the increase in costs will make these enjoyments untouchable to those who cant afford those costs.

LOVE IS EVERYWHERE.

Their Secret Plan

Hey guys, this time I am coming with a short story. This is the first time I’m writing a story. Waiting for your comments

Their Secret Plan

HE dialed HER exactly at 12pm.

SHE: hello!

HE: hi dear, Thank god! You attended the call. I was praying that your mother should not pickup.

SHE: Actually I was waiting for your call; what about the plan? Will it work this time? I am little nervous.

HE: Yes dear, we are surely leaving today at 4pm

SHE: What reason can I tell mom and come?

HE: Tell her that you are going to buy stationeries for next academic.

SHE: I’m afraid as last time itself mom came to know about our plan and we landed in trouble.

HE: Nothing will happen. I’ll manage this time. Make everything ready. Don’t take anything from house.

SHE: Ok. Ok... I’ll not. Where to come and wait?

HE: You come near that entrance of the street, I’ll pick up from there. Got it?

SHE: Fine! I’ll be there.

HE: Bye.

SHE: But I want 3 ice creams scoops this time. Bye Daddy!

Thus his 12 yr old Daughter kept the phone without waiting his reply. She was jumping in joy and waited for the clock to strike 4.
