Double dhamaka

Day before yesterday night , some professional has gained entry into our office and created a mayhem in the process of looting our office. Luckily not much cash was there but around 7k.(No,no this didnt make it to the 2/3 page of The Hindu, cos Rasa and 26/11 occupied them) In the process he had destroyed all the locked cupboards and threw all the papers and documents with the help of a candle and few match sticks. How iam able to acknowledge his professionalism is due to the fact that he gained entry through the grill of the window by unlocking the nails.

Since my patti got scared hearing the news i had to stay put at home. My aathu described the scene of crime as straight out of some cinema. And the process which followed like giving complaint and arrival of the inspector, sub-inspector and each one of the staff (incl tea-shop man i suppose) , forensic team to record the finger-print (how much i missed being part of the mess "sigh" all things replica of "Krotham" Prem's thriller movie). As always, the policemen have assured us the best. :)

As i was hearing running commentary from aathu, i was constantly on my mobile. And this news just reached us after sending P to school (poor him goes to school at 7.30), so he didnt have a chance of hearing this. When he came home i was speaking with aathu and was just giving pep talks and assuring that everything would be all right. The conversation had phrases like "its okay da, seri daa etc"
P came and asked me " Yaar kittaa pesindu irukka"
I replied " appa kittaa" (normally he would fuss demanding that he should have spoken to him first, but that day kept quiet and went about his routine)
After some time he came.
P : Nee pesarche "daa" sonniye.
Me: Aamam unna solven illa antha maathiri thaan sonnen.
P : Nee enna sollalaaam , aanaaa, appava solla koodathu. Respect kudukkanum seriyaaa
Me: dumb struck...... Ennatha sollaaa :(

Couple of weeks back we had given an ad in The Hindu regarding purchase of property. We were receiving calls but none of it proved to be fruitful. The next day one gentleman called and enquired aathu if it was the number as given in the ad...
Aathu : yes sollunga
G : Veedu 1/2 or one ground ketruntheenga sir antha ad la
A : Aamam sir sollunga.
G : Enna range la paakkareenga, car parking venuma
A : Car parking iruntha better, unga kitta veedu irukka, neenga land-owner or broker aa?

A : grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (face pakkanume) Illa sir onnum solraa maathiri illa.
