Joke of the day

SOS

We had a strenuous trip yesterday. It was the engagement of my cousin Siju's daughter at Olakettiyamblam. Siju is the son of late Rev. P V John. The place is way off from  the Mavelikara - Kayamkulam Road. Preethi Convention Centre. You could reach the place only with the assist of a location chart. We had to negotiate a winding road 3 or 4 metres wide through the  interior contours of the village. It was three km long once we left the highway. The blessing was, it was not an uphill climb. We took the MC Road to the destination and as it had drained us we returned via the NH that was the icing. We were knocked out.

Morning, Lila prepared Puttu with a great effort. I wondered how she did it because we both were exhausted beyond salvation.

At times when the salt content in the preparations go up or down, I used to key in my input, that the Tata salt had a high content of salt or Tata salt had to be urgently purchased, without even lifting my little finger to lend her a hand in her toil.

Today, the suggestion was the latter. I said we had to tell Ashwin to bring at least 4kg of Tata salt immediately.

Lila enjoyed the joke. 

She has a high sense of humour.

She blurted out with a serious expression, "We have to tell David Joy Achen (in whose office I work) to keep the seminary office open all days."

When I probed whether she meant 365 days a year, she nodded in assent, Jeeves' style.

And Ann quipped, "If the Seminary is functioning, Papa would go off quickly, gulping down whatever is on the table without letting the taste buds run riot."

The humour we all enjoyed and we had a hearty laughter.

Perfect start to a beautiful Sunday.
