Sales ladies

Uma doesnot permit "sales" people at home. You know, these days, many 'sales' people come home for selling various products. They include people of all ages, boys, girls, and middle aged women too. They offer various products, from cheap plastic items to electronic goods, from undergarments to sarees and churidar, from toys to English dictionaries, and what not !
Uma doesnot enterain them, as almost all are "irritant" ones. They are trained by some 'foolish persons'; that's why these sales people try to fool the customers.

I remember, once a salesboy came in He was wearing a good pants, full sleeve shirt, a tie, and had a big bag with him. he introduced himself as an MBA student, and would like to make a survey (of domestic matters). So, at my instance, Uma welcomed him to the drawing room. He kept on talking (all useles and irrelevant things) for a few minutes. At the end , he opened his bag, and took out a few plastic utensils. The truth having comeout, Uma had to struggle to get him evacuated from our drawing.
The case is almost similar with all these type of sales persons. They are foolish to think that the person (customer) is a stupid !

Today, an hour ago, two women 'sales ladies ' came here. They must be in their early 40s, and had two big bags each with them. Remani was in the kitchen, and so I happened to encounter them. They came in to sell "maxies". I said "no... no need now ...". They paused and told me that "all items for ladies " are there. I was curious, "aahaa... entokkeyaa.. kaanatte..." I said.
The smarter (and good looking too) lady said : "maxie.. paavaada...".
"Pinne.... " I queried with interest.
" .. pinne brassier, jatty ... ellam undu saar ..." she replied with a smile.
"carefree undo ? ... " I asked. Unexpected, the lady looked surprised, and said "undu saar..".
She started opening up the bags. I put another query "thaar mundu undo ?" .
"mundu illa saar ..." she replied. I knew she did not get my query correctly. Then, with an action, (with my right hand.. showing as if the thaar val is thrown between the thighs, and pulled and tucked in the back), I hinted again 'thaar... thaar mundu ...". She was not sure what I said. I went further. "thaar...adiyil udukkunna .. thaar .." she got it this time it seems. She said "athilla saar...". and she started closing her bags.
I said " adutha praavasyam varumpol kondu varoo...". I signed my closure, and the ladies took their bag and moved out to the gate. Yeah... both of them don't have anything inside !

By the by, I am home today. No office ! Because it's "harthaal' here in the city. All the people here are celebrating the day. None of my office staff would turn up. So... it's a special holiday today. Thus I too decided to celebrate. Pai was kind enough to get me a bottle of liquid gold, yesterday. At 11 am, I had a small dose of the heavenly drink. Then, you know now, the sales ladies appeared.
