Black money

“My hubby is such a innocent fool that if I stole the money from his pocket he never comes to know. He spends money recklessly and it is only ME who has to think about saving money. Today without telling him went to bank to deposit all that saved money that I collected from his pocket.” A newly wed wife of a reputed businessman boosted.

Her mobile rang.

“My hubby’s call! He calls me whenever he is free from his work to chat. He misses me.” She elatedly told me. “Hellooo!”

“Bank manager told me that today you went to bank to deposit huge sum of money in bank. Go to the bank and bring back that money. If you have extra money then give it to ME. This money can’t be deposited in bank as it is BLACK MONEY.” I overheard the voice of her husband on the mobile.

Do you think money should be in boring neutral colours like black money and white money or it should also be in multicolour like green money, blue money, yellow money, red money, purple money etc.?

Embroidery by me

While cleaning my cupboard, I found this piece of cloth with rose embroidery on it. A few years back I embroidered it in cross stitch on white coloured fabric.

Can you suggest me what article should I make with this embroidered piece that looks pretty?

Sabudana ki khichadi

“What is troubling you, Chandrika.” One of my elderly relative asked me.
“I forgot the recipe of Sabudana ki khichadi, all my relatives and friends at this very hour are busy who can tell me.” I replied
“You can search the net for the recipe.”

If you want to know something whom do prefer to ask relatives and friends or internet?

Bedridden woman

Her shrieks disturbed me.

She was a bedridden woman in my neighbourhood who was suffering from past 8 years. She was 72 years old. Her children left their careers to look after her. Though both were very caring and took good care of her even then she cried day and night. Her unbearable pains could be possible for her screams.
Yesterday, she died.

Should I be relieved as she gets rid of all pains or should I mourned as she is no more?

Why are you single, Chandrika?

“Do you find the time to see my birth chart?” Miss. ‘S’ asked me.

“I have a glance on your birth chart but can’t find the time to go through it in detail as I was not feeling well from past 15 days.” I replied.

“I have shown by birth charts to hundreds of astrologers. All said that my life’s difficult time started when I was 18 years old and it would remain in my life till I would be 36 years old. My studies, my career and my marriage all are affected due to this, 18 years bad time in my life! The prime time of my life is terrible!!”

“Time changes everything. You will have a good period in 2012. At that time you will have a good career and you may meet your soul mate.” I predicted for her.

“That is too far. By the way, why are you single, Chandrika; is it the worst effect of stars and planets or you can’t find a decent guy for yourself?” She asked.

New Year Greetings

This year I received New Year Greetings from my friends and relatives via electronic media. I would say that I was lucky to received one greeting card. It was yellow colored paper on which wishes were printed in red ink. That was from an 84 years old man in our locality.

The card was misprinted as
From
P. K. Singal
where as his name is R.K. Singal.

With the red pen a slant line was marked to convert ‘P’ into ‘R’ on 250 cards for all residents. Hats off to such enthu.

This year, did you receive any greeting card or just electronic messages?

Justification to smoking

“We, all poor labours do the hard work all the day. We don’t have TV or radio to entertain ourselves. It is only the bidi which we smoke to relieve our tensions and frustrations.” A labour replied to a health worker who was convincing him to stop smoking.

Do you think smoking is justified with these reasons or smoking can’t be justified at all?
