What do you think

I meet this lady on my daily walks. A PYT working woman. First time we met she said she was glad to see me always having a smile on my face(well i was not aware of that fact) But i  warned her that i have been medically advised not to take a brisk walk. she said no problem. so she accompanies me on slow walk. after my four rounds of the garden i sit on the available bench. She goes for two more rounds of brisk walk. But yesterday she finished her walk with me and sat with me and suddenly started laughing. I knew there was something afoot when i met her that day..so i told her to come out with it..so this is what she told me...u will enjoy this:

my husband works for a multinational company and has the second most senior position. he is always in awe of his boss's wife. He will say 'she has joined music class, so you too join. She wore this colour dress today..u should buy one such coloured clothes, she has joined golf u too should..so this has been going on for a long time. last week he said i should purchase a bikini. i was wondering, now where did he see her in a bikini, he said his boss showed him the pictures on his cell phone. my husband comes home and tells me, 'u will look better than her in a bikini'. i put my foot down. i have been humoring him now for quite a long time and i said 'NO' i am not wearing one and he did not talk to me for a few days. today i was about to relent and buy a bikini after all, when i heard rumours from his office that the wife left him for somebody else. so as soon as he came home i asked him'should i also have an affair now' he was angry and asked me what  that was supposed to mean.

so i told him u always make me emulate her example..so now she is having an affair..should i too.. but i did not let it at that..'did u not think that i could do the same thing. your boss is good looking, he has three houses in the city, every weekend he goes out of town, once a year he takes his wife abroad for tour, he gifted his wife a  diamond necklace for his wedding anniversary...did i at any point of time tell you, you should do the same thing?

you should have seen his face...finally he said, 'sorry i did not think in those lines, i am sorry. you should have warned me about my nature before hand' so i have been smiling and smiling since evening.

haha what say ladies? i think she needs a standing ovation...

i laughed with her and warned her not to take things too far...to let it go....


( have met many people who always compare with others be it about somebody's household/children etc..) Here is an instance
Many years ago we were in Udupi. Since my girls had to cross a busy highway i used to drop them, and fetch them from school. Since the house was nearby we used to walk. I was accompanied by a few other parents and some of the children were in Malavika's class. Once after the mid-term examinations they have given the math paper and the parents were dicussing/comparing their marks with the other classmate's parents. Two kids from Malavika's class had got more than 90 marks. Malavika did not say anything to me, nor did i ask her. But other parents were curious. they asked her ,why are you quiet malavika? how much did you score? She looked at me and them and said 100 on 100..so there was some screaming back patting etc.. and they asked 'what and why did not say so before' she said cooly what's the big deal...:-) a hug for her...But then what do you think the parents started? scolding their own kids for not getting a 100...
Wish people would stop comparing.
