The following piece of conversation deals about sensitive matters such as God and religions and also touches mundane everyday lunch topics such as children and their impish and allegedly funny activities...
The author on most accounts, and as indicated in '
italics', refrained from speaking his mind out leading to a peaceful and thoroughly professional conversation which otherwise would have gathered momentum towards true blue and unparliamentary swearing and supposedly culminated in violence...
Continuing further is left at the august discretion of the reader...
Author: So you have started getting your lunch box again...
Colleague1: Yes yes... My son is cooperating with me these days!!
Author: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colleague2: Oh is it.. How is your son doing??
Colleague1: He is great.. You know he started calling everyone according to their roles!!
Author:
what the fish??? So he calls you Quality Assurance Tester.. Wow.. Kids are too much these days!!!
Colleague1:
you know.. He calls amma, naana, thaathaya and all....
Author:
Get a hold!!!
Colleague3: I have noticed that among kids, girls are more talkative and boys are very silent types...
Colleague1: Boys are more into physical activities.. They keep running around here and there all the time... My son has no brakes at all...
Colleague3: Girls will play with their toys and keep them carefully but boys will be bent on destroying the toys the moment they lay their hands on them..
Author:
This is unfair!!!Colleague2: No no.. Boys are more interested in the physics of how they are made, how they work.. Girls are not particularly interested in that!!
Author: I dont think we can differentiate it like that...
A kid is only born and we have a boy and a girl..
Colleague1: I dont know about the physics but my son scares me all the time.. He want to play with crackers, put his fingers into the electrical sockets. I always have to keep an eye on him or I dont know what he is upto.
Colleagues3: You must get those safety sockets installed.. Then there wont be a problem..
Colleague2: Safety sockets or not.. Kids would anyway try to poke into the sockets with wires. They will always know how to do it..
Author: I think he would learn when he tries it out once... When I was a kid, I was really curious about that insect which always went into the sockets and came out unscathed.. Thats when I tried pushing my finger into it and practically realised...
Colleague3: The safety sockets are coming by default in all the new flats.. I think they should be present in your flat too..
Colleague2: Is it?? I dont know about the safety sockets but I am more worried about the puja room.. I wanted a two side door, with two bells, so many idols just like a temple...
Colleague1: Dont do that.. You shouldnt have a temple in the house.. Its not good.
Colleague3: Ya.. Dont get big size idols, gopuram in your puja room, you will have to perform all the rituals you do for a temple then. Its not good..
Colleague1: you know you shouldnt even have houses near to the temples..
Author:
Uh-oh!! Why is that??
Colleague1: Temple is a sign of sakthi and it radiates so much energy..
Author:
No wonder!! I feel so energetic at home!!Colleague1: We cant stand so much of energy you know...
Colleague2: Then how can we go to the temples? We go to the temples to absorb that great energy into us.
Author:
A superb allegory and an equally amazing response.. Hats off people!!Colleague1: Thats because we are pure when we go to the temple.. Why do you think we take bath and remove the sandals outside?? In purity we can face that energy from God...
Author:
I do take bath at home and keep prancing around bare foot.. Colleague2: In kerala, we even have to take our shirt off while going to the temples...
Author:
Bingo!! He did read my mind.. Not surprising that I am able to sustain such vast form of energy...Colleague2: In kerala we had a family temple which was left not used for a long time.. And there were so many family problems.. So we called a prashnam..
Colleague1: Whats a prashnam??
Author: prashnam is something where we call a guy who plays with shells and predicts the future for us..
I still remember that guy who came to my place and predicted that I would join a government organisation.. Partly its true because I still work like I were in one.. God and his ways.. Colleague2: No no.. He doesnt play with shells.. He would do some calculations and tell us why is God angry and what is the reason for all the problems..
Author:
If that were true... God must be really furious with me!!Colleague2: So this guy told us that we need to perform all the pujas in the closed temple regularly or else we would have a lot of problems.. After that everything was fine...
Colleague1: Yaa.. And no matter which God you worship, you should never stop worshipping your family deity.. You can always worship other Gods.. but family deity is a must..
Author:
who is my family deity?? 330 million Gods and counting.. I would stick to my family deity... Colleague1: My sister's house has a very beautiful puja room.. Next to the kitchen they have done the wood work and its very beautiful you know..
Colleague2: We can have that in the kitchen also? But there will be so many food items made.. It wont be good na..
Colleague3: It all depends on the vaastu..
Colleague1: Ya.. Vaastu has to be correct. You know why japan is top in the world??
Author:
now she is talking!!!Colleague1: It has the most perfect vaastu. And thats why japan has progressed so much..
Author:
of all the turmoil, technological advancement.. its vaastu that should take the credit!!! heights!!Colleague1: Even tirupathi temple has the perfect vaastu.. That is why its so famous..
Author: I will open a company with a good vaastu and it will reap all profits..
Colleague2: haha.. thats a good idea..
Author: Will vaastu of the company building affect its employees??
Colleague1: I dont know about that.. But our company vaastu should be good.. Thats why we are still working here.. hehe!!
Colleague3: Ya correct.. so we will get back to the work before they terminate us..
Author:
do they really have to drag my pj!!!!
