Runnaway Maid

Its always such darned trouble giving intro and making social conversation. Life and blogspot situations can be so annoyingly similar. I'm bothering with neither.

So here is a fairly interesting story i heard recently, courtesy my dear mother, (yea yea Ive moved on to gossip for the elderly) anyway so our maid came to work a couple of days back all frantic and panicky and said she wont be coming to work for a few days.

REACTIONS: mini dramatic heart attack type and immediate assignment of chores to any unfortunate soul around(OK it was not that bad but there was a lot of tension and drama!) and commencement of woe sharing session.

Anyway so what happened was that my maid's daughter ran away a few years back and got married but widowed shortly after, came back and was married off to her uncle(yea yea incest blah). Due to obligations placed by the whole new tech era on all sections of society she was also given a mobile phone. Of course we all know the evils of this little device(stop laughing pervs) and after a few years and a bunch of kids, she began an affair. Not any ordinary affair! This one was an SMS affair, with all the lingo mentioned in my previous post coupled with I'm sure a bunch of mushy kannada movie dialogues. (ah what i would not give to get hold of those)

Obviously she was not sneaky enough and was caught but using il bet some of the same dialogues and some sweet talk she convinced her husband against a divorce and all was well..... for sometime.

FEW DAYS LATER: The husband returns home one afternoon early from work and finds the SMS dude hiding in the bathroom (at this juncture i laughed until i got stern "you are so heartless" looks from my mom).

So now the entire family, extended relatives and well almost everyone in the community is collectively going for an "intervention" (i highly doubt they are very familiar with the concept of "hush hush" and "open secrets".)

THE END

(this is all i payed attention for actually)

I accept completely responsibility for the horrible narration, i am sure one of my aunts would have done better job. What i do wonder though is who the blame can be placed on in this situation( U gotta blame someone!) or more interesting who can the husband sue from the following:

1. His wife for being uhhhh "not virtuous"

2. The wife's mother for initiating this incest

3. The cellphone company for introducing cheap sms rates

4. (and this is my pick) The T.V serial she invariably picked up all her affair ideas from. (How many shows have we seen, especially in South India where the lover always always hides in the bathroom, tch women be innovative)

These TV shows are all supposed to be so unrealistic and dramatic(In your face public opinion).

General wonder"ation": Do people who do not know better, pick up these tips from the shows OR do the writers hear stories like i did, throw in a pious widow, red nail polished "villi", her sidekick villain, one America returned hero and make a mega serial on "Sun TV". SUPER IT!
