THOTHATHRI VAADYAAR ( 2 )

                            THOTHATHRI  VAADYAAR ( 2 )

                             We  all know  that Kannan Shanthi and Ganesh are  the children of Gopalakrishnan and Komu and Kannan marred Annam';s daughter,Gopalakrishnan and Thailu were brought up by KT V  for long number of years and Sanguathai was with her husband at Banares where she   got the other children ,Jayaraman is in Goregaon Bombay,Gopalakrishnan stayed at Kalakad until completing his school education. .In the same way his son Kannan also was with us in Kalakad and then graduated at  Thirunelveli staying with me when I was working as a college teacher..

                                             KTV  was observing closely a rich man in the street talking to another person who stood outside the entry of his house whereas he was standing blocking the entry for hours together.But this has been  his usual method perhaps. KTV could note this irritating behaviour of the richman  and he wanted to teach him a fitting lesson.He was waiting for the opportunity.For this purpose KTV always walked very close to the house whenever he walked on the street going for shopping and so on.KTV was 18 years old and the richman was54 at that time.I will use his initials hereafter. N R..Just KTV looked at the house of N R without any intention but NR thought that he is trying to enter the house. So he came rushing to the entry and gave a blocking pose asusual..KTV wasted no time Finding a broad gap between his two legs suddenly made his entry through the gap and sat on the big elevated floor with folding one leg over the other with a padhmasanam posture and called NR by name and asked  him to take his seat.! NR did not expect this action of KTV and retorted saying that " you are receiving me in my own house! How dare are you to do this sort of thing? Don't you know that I am the richest person in the village? .Pat came the reply from KTV." I know that; but now I have done only what you should have done and what you have failed to do." He further asked him whether his action of blocking others had  earned him any respect to him in the society.He informed further that people at large are only scolding him .KTV advised NR  to change his attitude and,to keep his entry open and receive people ask  them to sit and begin conversations with them,before on some day in future some unwanted thing might happen.NRtook KTV's words seriously and immediately responded positively saying that he has opened  his eyes and bent down to prostrate before KTV which action the latter averted.( All as per paatti's words ).Not only that KTV was requested to come to his house whenever time permitted! NR   made him his friend despite age difference.! .Interesting things will follow in the next  issue.
