Second Hand

Seetha & Geetha are sisters with seetha being the elder one by 2 years. That always gave her an advantage of being first preference for their parents. Moreover they being cost conscious never got Geetha new text books instead she used her sister's books as second hand. The same was repeated for some of the toys, pencil, pen and other things right from childhood.

Seetha used to give some of her clothes to Geetha if it became small for her to wear including the school uniform. Knowing their family situation Geetha took it positive initially, but as years passed by this feeling of "Second hand" started growing in her as a hate. Though Geetha didnt show it out to Seetha, she was very concerned about it and refused any used thing that was given to her.

Both studied in the same school, college and finished the same degree B.Sc Nutrition. It was time for Seetha to get married and her parents were seriously looking out. Geetha had a odd feeling about that second hand, she was worried what if she gets her husband also as second hand which she never wanted to happen. So she also hurried to get married. She had liked a guy who studied with her in the same college but different course (BSc ComputerScience). She decided to propose him and if things worked out she wanted to inform her parents. Just as she thought the guy also accepted and Geetha told her parents with all the guts she had. Her Dad who is against Love Marriage strictly apposed it but as days went by he finally agreed. Meanwhile they had fixed an alliance for Seetha too. So they decided to arrange both the marriage at the same time. Everything went smooth and both of them got married on the same day.

Geetha was very happy that she got married on the same day as her sister and at an earlier age than her. On the first night, excited but nervous Geetha entered the room. Her husband Kumar said "I want to say you something" and even before he could finish, Geetha also said "What a coincidence, I also wanted to say you something....". He asked her to tell first and then Geetha told how she felt about being "Second Hand" in many things. She ended up saying that she was glad to get him. Then she asked him "You wanted to say something...". Kumar was like... "I...I... I wanted to tell you.. you ...that" he paused for few seconds. Geetha "tell me what ???". Kumar continued "That I LOVE YOU" and gave her a big hug. Now Geetha was reaaaaaaaaally happy as if she was waiting for this moment in her whole life.

As they were huging, Kumar thought to himself "Thank God, I dint tell her that Seetha & I were lovers in college"

5 things Not Known to others

PK - are you sure you want me to write this ?? No offense later ;)

Now this is a tough topic for me because im like a open book and i discuss almost everything about me to friends. So there is nothing as such that is not known to others about me. Atleast 1 sole on this earth would know about it. That doesnt mean that i dont maintain secrets. If it is something about others or if they asked me not to tell anyone i do make sure that i dont. Its only about me that is open to all. But as i have been tagged (by PK), i spent time to think about things that is something not known to others, may not be a secret but could be anything. Here are they...

1. Handwriting
My handwriting used to bend towards left and when i heard that people having writings bend towards left will not be a good character i wanted to change it. I dint know if that would change the character :) but i forced myself to write bending towards right. I did succeed, but even now if i dont concentrate and leave it to my hand it will tend to bend left :)). So if you guys happen to see my notes you can see a different font style at diff pages, some bent towards left, some straight (thats when it shifts from right to left he he) and some right. I have not told this to anyone, but not sure if anyone has noticed it

2. Uyir-Mei Eluthu
Ok, this is going to be interesting. I noticed a unique thing in me writing some of the uyir-mei eluthu (Tamil Alphabets). If you take these letters "aA, e, Ou, Va, Nya.." in Tamil, all of these have a small circle on the top left. I think everyone starts it clockwise, complete the circle and then continue the alphabet. But you know what, i complete the small circle anti-clockwise and then continue the alphabet (which is round about way, is it not ???). Look at the picture to understand what i mean. It has become a practise and thats how i write even now. This reminded me of the incident in UKG. My tamil teacher hit me in the hand and asked me to write impositions for correcting me to write in the right way. I dint understand what she actually asked me to do, i wrote the impositions in the same way he he. The teacher wasnt good enough ;)

Ebba rendu vishayam sollichu.. innum moonu yosikanume !!!

3. Thumb Sucking
I was sucking my thumb finger (like the kids do) till i was in 6th or 7th class. The most addicting thing for me to get over ha ha. This should be top secret hushhhhhh!!!

4. Eggo-phobia
Im totally alergetic to Egg. I cant take it in any form. So i dont even have cake. First thing is the smell, oovak!!! that itself makes me feel like puking. Even if that fails, the tongue clearly sends message to my brain and i immediately vomit. Everyone says that it is do with psychology. But there were times where i have taken certain food without knowing it is egg. Infact i liked it (tongue missed to identify), after sometime it starts with a small stomach ache which then aggrevates and then finally gets everything in the stomach out. I dont know whats up with my digestive system, it is so perfect that it identifies egg in any form. Dont you dare to test it, i would be the one who is suffering. Now you dont go and search the dictionary for the word "Eggophobia" coz it was a term that i introduced.

Just one more...

5.Perfect System
Have you ever seen any one system that gives output, the moment you give the input ? I have seen it and if you think it is some software system, no you are wrong. Its my digestive system. This unique system unlike the normal ones, process the input the moment it is feeded and its ready for output. I have suffered a lot with this right from my childhood. Does anyone in the world similar to this ???
