Tomz request

On Tomz request I am writing one more post on Pentagon.

Pentagon had a younger sister and a brother. When his brother was in seventh standard, he bunked classes with friends to swim in the nearby canal. The flow of stream was so fast that his brother’s dead body could not be found. This shock decreased the screaming frequency of his mother but her habit to clean things increased; instead of washing currency notes once with detergent, she started washing them seven times.

His younger sister was a slow leaner, not beautiful and has disproportionate figure. She was doing B.Sc. (Home Science). It was her good luck that the seats in the college increased in that particular year of her admission.

Pentagon is presently doing a decent job in a foreign country.

What question should I ask in the end of this post, Tomz will suggest? ;)

Pentagon story continues…

“What was the Question No.1?” During examination days Pentagon mother asked from indoors.
“Whose glasses were missing?” Pentagon replied while standing in the corridor.
“What did you write?”
“Kutchu’s.”
“Did you write only ‘Kutchu’s’? What is the need to write whole sentence?” She uttered something in her mother tongue which only Pentagon understood.
“Kutchu’s glasses were missing.”
“What was the Question No. 2?”

This question and answer session continued till he replied to all the questions from the question paper. If he answered them correctly then only his mother allowed him to come in the house and if he answered a single question incorrectly his mother punished him by standing in the corridor for long hours.

Did the passer bys from that corridor help him by giving food and water or were they mere silent watchers?

Pentagon

When I was six years old, in my neighbourhood live a boy of almost same age whose real name nobody knew but known as ‘Pentagon’. He was a fair colored, slim and intelligent boy even then I always pitied him.

Whenever he returned home from school or playground, he neither rang the bell nor knocked the door rather asked her mother to open the door. He waited till she came and opened the door forcefully by pushing it outwards. The door springs pushed it back with the same force. He had to rush in that house in that limited time. If by mistake he touched the wall or door or handle of door she uncountable times slapped him.

Do you think his mother was psycho or no?

Hakira

“It is cute. What its name?” I asked an elderly man who was walking along with his pet dog.

“Hakira suntaa nee. (Hakira doesn’t listen)”. He paused and looked if I understood. On seeing my blank face he said, “Its name was Hakira. My granddaughter called it by its name and he didn’t listen to her so she started calling Hakira suntaa nee. That’s how it got its present name. Now everybody in the family called it Hakira suntaa nee.”

Have you ever heard the funnier pet name than this one; yes or no?

Lemon rinds

In a temple, I saw the squeezed lemon rinds used as a base for lighting of batti.

Do you think the person is doing this because of superstition or saving diya by utilising the waste material?

Frowns!!

“There is so much dust here.” A middle aged woman pointed towards the table in a restaurant. She shouted again to waiter, “Do it quickly, lazy fellow!”

I noticed she had vertical frowns on her forehead and her husband had horizontal frowns between his nose and chin. He was standing beside her and thoroughly enjoying this whole scolding episode.

So do you think it is true or false that unlike poles attract each other?

Unique shopping mall

Yesterday, we went to watch a movie in a mall. Only five minutes were left to start that movie so we hurriedly parked the car in basement parking and took a lift to third floor where theatres were located. We quickly took tickets and reached there on time.

On reaching home, the kid with us narrated this incidence to his grandfather as, “Today we went to a unique mall whose entrance was not from ground floor rather from third floor.”

Do you think should I tell the kid that it was an ordinary mall or should I let him to be happy with the wrong concept of visiting a UNIQUE mall?
