My dad is my best lets-say …stress killer…Even if I had loads of curses to swear on my dad sometimes when he annoys me, a one-word of his is just enogh to crush them all. Yeah , you got it right..he’s humorous. Unfortunately sometimes his stuff would turn out to be “mokkais” too…(well, what they say as ill-humour!) but most of the time he gets it funny.
Last year vacation..I was returning from delhi to chennai along with my parents. The caterers were north indians n apparently we had to *converse* in hindi, which none of us were good at. We were all in the novice stage of learning the language. We ordered coffee and the guy gave us each a cup. For a second after recieving the cup, I was at the perception that it was just a cup of boiled water. But, the *polite* conscience of mine forced me to say a single-word to the bearer, the only word I knew exactly at the moment.. “Dhanniyavadh”. It means “thanks” . My dad spontaneoulsy retorted, “Nee vera..avan erkanave thanniya vaathuthaan koduthurukkuran nee vera aen kekara!” (vaathu means pour in our slang)
Translation : He Has already poured lotsa water in it.Need u ask more?
And we burst into laughter. That was one memorable humor of dad, which I’d never forget!
P.S : Forgive me for a lack of something in my writing. I just cant figure out what. Maybe it’s the style. I just came out a bit of Writer’s block.
