This could well be considered as a follow-up to my previous post, though a bit distant in time. As you all know, I have been longing to meet the kid and when he finally came to India, I couldn't be there to receive him since I was on my way to catch a flight to London from Mumbai. This travel to UK, even though just a normal process thousands of people go through everyday, it wasn't in fact a very smooth trip for me. Anyway, that experience deserves a separate post and those who want to know need to wait for some more time.
I was in Mumbai, on my way to the international terminal from the domestic, when my sister-in-law landed in the Coimbatore airport. We had a short fond chat as usual. I started with the usual how-was-your-journey questions and after the formalities I asked her "What have you brought from Australia for your brother-in-law?" looking to tease her for not taking any gifts, yeah I know she wouldn't have bought anything special for me since her trip was planned in very short time. But she responded with "புள்ளையக் கொண்டு வந்துருக்கேன் அங்கேர்ந்து, அத விட உங்களுக்கென்ன வேணும்?".
I think only now she deserves that B.Lit degree she got years ago.
Sorry guys, those who don't read and/or understand Tamil, its time for you to look for help.
