“Useless fellow”
I am so accustomed to these words that even while going on the road, if I hear these words, I turn my head and look around to check whether someone is calling me.
Listening to these words, I responded “Yes Dad! What happened to you?”
Dad shouted at me “Nothing happened to me. Useless fellow, you are good for nothing. You kept your stinking undergarment on my brand new shirt”
With a composed demeanor, I said “Cool Dad! Cool. Why do you unnecessarily raise your BP? Look at me. How cool am I?”
Looking at my gestures, Dad said “What? Cooool? If you pose yourself to be cool again, I’ll get you married”
These few words hit my ears like a torpedo. I jumped out of the chair saying “Marriage! NOOOO!”
My Dad approached me and took my hand in his hand. He asked me what my problem is.
I said “The actual problem is that I don’t understand when I should get married”
Dad said “Fool! It’s simple. When every girl around you looks hot, it's time you get married”
I said “In that case, I should have got married in my sixth class itself”
Dad said “So, you deem it’s high time you should get married”
I said “No Dad, I need some more time. I want to enjoy my life for a few more days”
Dad said “My dear Useless fellow! You will definitely enjoy the first few days of your married life”
I asked “After that, what happens?”
He said “It cannot be explained, you have to experience it”
Listening to this conversation, my Mom rushed towards me and said “Bujji, If you get married, you feel very comfortable as if you ride an ‘S’ class Benz car”
In no time, my father retorted saying “Yes, with a meager mileage and a hefty maintenance. It won’t take you much time to learn about the failure in the suspension system, augmentation of noise pollution and application of breaks almost all the time, even without your knowledge. You feel as if you are pushing (not riding!) a broken ambassador”
My Mom said “I got married on Wednesday. So, don’t get married on Wednesday. It’s an inauspicious day to get married”
Dad retorted “Why is ‘Wednesday’, an exception?”
Mom said “Don’t believe Dad’s words. Look at this photo of a beautiful girl whom I searched for you. She graduated from a reputed college”
I shouted “Gosh! 34-40-34! What’s her shape?”
Mom said “Round is also a shape, right!”
I yelled “Her teeth come out. Moreover, she looks visually impaired and aged”
Mom said “While speaking and laughing, she can use a hand kerchief to hide her teeth. You are always there to look after her, so why do you bother about her eyesight and age”
I cried “She looks dwarf!”
Mom said “Shut up! Five feet does not make her dwarf”
Watching this conversation, my Dad couldn’t stop laughing. He said “Relax! Mom is playing a practical joke on you. The lady in that photo is your grandmother’s cousin”.
Staring at my parents, I murmured “Thank God! You saved me!”
