Has there been a situation where people have laughed at you and embarrassed you in front of everyone??I have loads of such experience..there are few of them, which even by the thought of it, makes me laugh...I usually never prefer slippery roads,not for the reason that my legs would become dirty but just to avoid the embarrassment of falling down.One of the roads which i used to take back home after school would become very slippery after rains..i always avoided them and took an alternate long route..but once one of my school frens who accompanied me that day insisted on taking only that route as it was shorter inspite of me telling him zillion times..he told me "eppdi vizharanu paakalam"..By wat he said i really thought he was gonna make sure that i dont fall but only then did i understand he wanted to see how i fall and make a fool of myself..so innocent i was..i went with him..as always fell..It was not only him who laughed at me..but a group of kids who were playing there got very amused..I tried to get up but all effort in vain...I remember i gave up and sat off on the ground and ask that wonderful friend of mine who still had not come out of his amusement to help me..Even now when i see him he laughs at me ,telling "This is the first thing i remember when i hear your name"!!.One more incident which i seriously have no idea how i made a fool of myself was when i was playing hide and seek..I hid myself in the most safest place thinking that noone can even find me..it was true noone found me cos noone even searched for me..I kept hiding for around 20 mins..very proud i was :P Actually the others stopped playing and went off home cos one of the guy's parents started screaming at all of us..unaware of this i was hiding like they were gonna give me some award if i won..you should have seen the happiness on my face that time :P..
I used to be really scared of my dad before (not now :P)..he never liked us watching TV,he was very shtrict! Usually i would watch tv until he came back from office..once i hear his vehicle's horn i would quickly switch it off and run inside the room pretending to study.. my bro has always warned me not to do this..One day i was so enthu that when i heard the horn i quickly ran and pressed the button to switch it off.(my tv didnt have remote then..so you need to use only the button on the tv)...my bad luck the button went inside...:O..wat else do you think would have happened!!the same dandanaka only!!
But there have been times even i have laughed at ppl...infact many times...but one that is unbeatable happened when i was 6 years old..I definitely didnt remember..my mom tells me whenever i ask her cos i love listening to it...As i told my dad was very strict..he was very particular about discipline and manners..But trying to imbibe discipline in a 6 yr old kid who wouldn't know what it meant is as unimaginable as it sounds..All i remember is my dad always asked us to leave our shoes in the shoe rack after we came back from school..my brother would promptly do it..but i have never done it,cos i was a kid,i never understood the seriousness, i always knew my dad would do it even if he shouts...It seems one day he got very angry that i didnt place it in the rack even after telling me a lot of times...so he thought he would teach me a lesson and he left the shoes outside the gate and asked me to go pick it up..even before i could..to all our surprise a street dog ,dont kno what it thought my shoes were,took it and ran away :P :P..and this was enough to make a kid of 6 to cry..my dad had to run behind that dog and my mom had to console me..it seems i was not worried abt the shoes,i was worried about my teacher who would shout at me for not wearing shoes to school, so it seems i immediately told that i wouldn't go to school the next day!! (appavae bunk adikarudhula oru aarvam!! )..After that my dad decided not to show his acts of heroism to me :) :)
After all Most things are moments of embarrassment but lifetime of pleasure !! :) :)

ReplyDeleteNice post! Reminds me of how my sisters and I used to tidy the hall up, as soon as we'd here the portico door open for dad to park the car, when we were like real kutti kids. We had a drill planned and executed brilliantly to clean the place up with least effort in least possible time :D :D
ReplyDeleteAnd of embarrassment, athu yellam kandurutha illa namma :P :P Want to do? Will do, regardless of the after-effects! :D
