A short story which i cherish to recapulate the memories:-)

Now am here to share a short story which was told by my grand dad..

Pom Pom Pom Pom... its the sound of chennai.. yes the sound of Auto rickshaws piercing our ears.The central station is as busy as the airport except for the porters standing jus after we get down from the train..Its an old woman who get down from the train..A simple, innocent lady who is completely new to Chennai. Her eyes are rolling here and there.. her mind is fully occupied with the tension to reach the destination safely . Ofcourse it’s a normal thought of any men or women new to Chennai. But I guess the youngsters won’t have that much tension as the old people.she keeps walking with the luggages.. hardly able to carry it. And the ignorant eyes looking for a porter.. Yes!! Some how with the help of a porter comes out and looks for an auto.she gets into the auto without much bargaining with a tinge of fear in her face.Yes the travel in auto is very comfortable and smooth to her.. She keeps on asking the auto man..” Yen pa intha building yaaru kattinathu? “.. Auto man replies spontaneously “ Therla madam”. The lady is amazed by the buildings and is curious to know about the place. She keeps on posing her questions and the only reply from the auto man” therla madam”..Since she has to travel long distance in auto she keeps engaging herself by asking questions and speaking to the auto man. May be she finds it as a technique to overcome her fear about the new place and also a lady with more curiosity!!.. Finally she saw a crowd with Flowers and dance!!.. Yes it’s the death rally of a person..Her curiosity din stop here she posed her next question.. “yaaru pa athu sethutanga ? pavam “ And here our auto driver with the same reply “Therla madam”

Guess what would be the reaction of our old, innocent, ignorant lady????

“Enna pa solra.. intha building lam kattina antha “Therla madam” sethutangala?? Ada paavame!!”

What could you call this as?? J

When I heard this from the grand dad.. I thought it as a comedy story..But when I explore more about this.. could feel it as a height of ignorance

 Ah.. well its just a story.. which made me laugh..Just a remembrance of my grand dad. He is such a humorous person. May this is his own story out of his seeds for humour!!

Love you and miss you thatha.. J You hav been a great inspiration to me! J
