8PM for 8 Hrs' Peace of Mind


Uma had the pleasure of 8PM many times (during those days). However, she had warned me of it's ill effects many times. Thanks to Uma.
But the speciality of 8PM is that, by 8 PM  I forget everything bad of it, and remember only it's goodness. That's why the cupboard is open just before 8 PM and  the first sip goes in at 8 PM.  8 sips ( I take two pegs in 8 sips)  in a little over 8 minutes finishes the day-quota. That's all. This will ensure  deep sleep for 8 hours, (that's the time I have peace of mind) until I wake up at 6AM. Not at 8 AM !

Yesterday noon, when Kalyani  came for a quick visit, I asked her :
"Kalyani,  ee whiskey oru peg tharatte ? "
"Ayyo ... venda ... Annanarinjaal... enne konnukalayum .." Kalyani said.
"Aahaa... appo annanadikkaam... Kalyanikku tharaathe...alle ?" I asked her.
"Oo... annan ennum kaal kuppi adikkum... ippo pinne njanonnum parayaarilla.." Kalyani said with a smile.
"Adichaal pinne... ?..." I paused.
"Kidannurangum... pothupole... allaathennaa .." Kalyani completed.
"Pakshe, enikkangane urakkamonnumilla... Pinne urangaan kidannaal urangum athrathanne .." I said , looking sharp at Kalyani.
"Aaa... angane venam ... allaathe .." She paused, looking elsewhere and said thoughtfully.

The chat continued for sometime and Kalyani returned, giving me "drushyabhaagyam". But she motivated me by "Naale varaam ..".

Not all wishes

Uma must be smiling , when she learns that my wish didn't happen.  Let her smile! But that's true.
Last Sunday, with all hopes of something happening with Kalyani, I have been waiting all day. But she didn't turn up. The result was that I had a brisk activity at 8PM with 8PM.
Next day, I saw Kalyani with her Annan, entering their home with  heavy baggages (must be returning after a travel). . Yeah, she gave me a flashing smile. Next few days, until Friday (that's yesterday), nothing did happen, resulting in my wasting the whole day time , expecting miracles happening.
But yesterday, it was almost a miracle.  In the morning I went to my workplace and returned by lunch time (planning for a nap ! ).  My packed lunch, with the fish curry, was nice. Then I sat in the front balcony, with a magazine and frequent gazing on the other side. In a few minutes, Kalyani appeared and gave me a smile, which I promptly returned amplified.  So, Annan is not at home.  A few moments passed on, with my inviting looks and gestures. Kalyani must have felt pity on me. She went in, and I was disappointed.
may be about 10 minutes later, Kalyani came out, locked her doors, crossed the road, and walked in to my courtyard. In a fly, I's at the sitout, and opened the grilled door. I invited her in. Kalyani, with a smile, and a small packet in her palm, came in. She was in a mundu, red blouse, and a thorthu as randaamundu.
"saar oonu kazhicho ?" She asked.
"Ooho... Kalyaniyo ?"
"kazhichu... pinne innathe pathram vaangikkaamennu vichaarichu vannathaa " she said.
"pinnenthaa... tharaamallo... " with a pause I asked her "dhruthi illallo ? irikkoo".
"venda... venda... njaan ivide ninnolaam.." she was not in a hurry.
"haa... irikkoo... visheshangal chodikkaatte"  I prompted her to take seat, and she did respond positively.
She sat on the chair, opposite to mine.

Is there light at the end of the tunnel ?

Uma may not like this. But I am sure she won't blame me either.  Anyway, why should she bother now? And why should I ??
No, I am not bothered about her now. But I do bear in heart the nice sweet thrilling moments she gave me (better to say, shared with me ! ). Gone are those days... Forget them... And live now.
That's why I started attempting for new meadows. And I think one is blooming now.
Remember Ionia ? She left me a few months ago. Infact she was in search of new pastures, money, position, and what not ?  She and her mother are now at the 'Venice of the East'. She's well off there. That's what she says. But she is in constant touch with me.
After a long spell of dry and dark days, I am seeing some light at the end.  Thanks to my new neighbor.
I have a new neighbor, just opposite to my place. A senior couple. Annan is employed, and wife Kalyani (let me call her so) is a housewife. Annan leaves for his work right early morning, and returns after sunset. The Nano family is quite happy with what they have, it seems.
My front balcony is a strategic location. I can see my neighbors. During the last two weeks, many many looks have flashed across.  Starting with sharp ones, now its cool and long gazing. Yeah... that's cool for both of us.
Annan and Kalyani called on me last week. In the evening, and had a long chat. They were more curious in my singular style life. I gave them just sufficient tips and answers to satisfy them. Kalyani, it seems, felt sympathetic on me.
May be that's why she started talking to me , the next day on, coming to my courtyard. She infact started advising me on how to manage life better !  I certainly gave her all my ears. And would do so.
Yesterday was Makarasankrathi, and Kalyani came to me in the morning. She brought me a cup of Paayasam.  I relished it right in front  of her. More than my tongue licking the cup, my eyes were licking Kalyani. She realised it, and enjoyed it. That's what her smile, with a drooping look at me told me. When I returned the cup, empty, she asked me "mathiyaayo ?".
"Illa... " I told her in a low tone.
"Ini naale tharaam ..." and she returned.
Today Sunday, I got ready right in the morning before 7am. I went to the balacony and scanned the other side of the road. But I couldn't get my target.
Right now, I am waiting for Kalyani. Sure she would turnup any time now.
