Sweet Neighbour!!! grrrrr....

So far I have been blessed as far as the neighbours are concerned, but this time i would say iam cursed to the core.
We live in the first floor as one among the four tenants of an independent house. All four of them are four corners of a trapezium i would say.
The family of four who live just opposite to us form the crux of rest of this post.

Lets call them Mr.X, Mrs.X , son-1x and son -2x.
I wonder what on earth does this Mr.X for their living. Always he would be at home and their daily routine starts at 5.30 am. They would play the devotional cassette with max volume like some road-side mariamman temple. Then Mrs.X would come outside and sweep outside their door while all the way arranging our slippers in front of our door like some display...(someday i think iam going to blast her for this). Then their pet stray cats(pls note down not 1 or 2 cats but a whole bunch of cats though they follow the discipline of coming one after the other) would come and wait near our door cosily sitting on the slippers and shoes neatly arranged by Mrs.X.
I dread going out and picking the milk cover in the morning. Those green emerald eyes of the cats would shine in the dark. Somehow, they send fresh chills throughout the spine. So, I always beg my aathukarar to go and get those milk packets.

Coming to son1x , he is doing eng in some, stand alone on the highway, engineering college. The moment he sees my head, he would rush into his home and bang the door, as if iam going to rape him. God, he is such a creek. Once when i was standing outside to send off my son and aathukarar , the said creek was returning from outside. The moment he saw us, he didn't even enter the house but started to go on the opposite direction and was wandering in the roads. So even i stood there deliberately to see how long he would be hanging on. But, man u should give credit to the boy for carrying on and holding ultimately. Finally, fed up i climbed back. He would run like a new-bride with his head bent down as if running he is running for his life the instant he comes in contact with any of us.

Nothing much to say about son2x. He is a nice boy as far as i know but certainly a far cry from the creep.

Our house-owners are an aged-couple. They are bit cranky and nosy too. They are of the previous generations who would like to maintain and state now and then that they are the owners of this prestigious red fort building.... Though i respect them for their age nothing out of my way i wud do to please them. But u have to see this Mr & Mrs.X . They would literally fall on their feet and would start nodding their head the moment they enter the house. Sometimes i wonder may be after the departure of the house-owners should i help them with some vicks action 500 and iodex...(oohhh...aaaaaahhhhh.... ouch...)

Then comes their maruthi swift... to park the vehicle and to put the cover always Mr.X needs an escort. And the way they pamper the swift, even i would be considered a bad mother. Pavement la irunthu ella blocks um onnu onna eduthu tyre kku adila veppanga. Hmm illenna vandi odi poidume. Then a big akbar kalathu poottu for the gate. Okay this is for the swift. Now to their cycles... Oru periya alibaba kalathu poottu with a changili.. Athukku mela oru car cover. Dont think their cycles are outside the house. But it is all the way protected under the stairs with a big grill gate and that too with 2 locks.

And all the way enga santro road la yum and our two two-wheelers compoundkku ulleyum anathayaa engala paathu aluthunde irukkum...... pesama Mr.X familykku vaakkapattu irukkalaamnu nenachindu irukkum.

Heard that they are going to vacate the house by april of 2009.
Hmmm....... or should i believe known devil is better than unknown angel.....

Avan enga paattiya paarthu kooda appadi thaan react pannuvan (she is 80yrs old). She treats it as an insult when he bangs the door at her face....But i dismiss the thought saying he is a psychic personality.
Btw,pets of any nature pull my nerves. Seeing them from a considerable distance only makes me comfortable.

:)) neenga solra ela materiyum nangalum anubavichirukom. oru unamai ennana..the moment we identify one irritating habit in our neighbours, which we cant/wont tell them, everything they do after that becomes even more irritating :D for example.. neenga sonna antha paiyan nejamavay oru shy/timid paiyana irukalam..or he might have been asked to behave lke that by hs parents..konjam mathi yosichi parungalen..u wl get a totally difft perspective. Nw tenants varuvanganu solreenga :) wish u a great time with them n happy new year
