Sister Act!

Well...yesterday was new year's day and we had two very distinguished visitors at our house-my grandmother's two sisters! They called up in the morning and said that they would be coming to spend some time with us. They were at home by about 11.00 AM and as usual, my mom and grandmom were making small talk and stuff like that while I was away in my room, playing my guitar. I finished playing and I went to meet them. We were in the living room and I found an empty chair and sat down. Then followed the usual "hey you've grown so much! what are you doing now? where are you studying?"...and then they went back to what they were very seriously discussing about-tamil mega serials! I thought to myself, "Sheesh!! Even now???????" And being the only person in the whole room to not watch serials was not exactly pleasant. I was grossly outnumbered! And one of my gran's sisters was from the USA. I was surprised, no, shocked to find out that even in the USA, people follow tamil serials as a part of their life! My aunts in Sacramento and Houston have even gone to the extent of making international calls to find out about what they missed in the latest episode of Selvi(a serial which finally, and thankfully ended recently) . And I've also heard that there are people who are fanatic enough to record these serials on a videotape. Sheesh!

After the serial discussion session , it was time for lunch(fried rice and chicken curry!), during which my grandmothers resolved to talking about their childhood days. I guess they all had a good time reminiscing. My grandmother hasn't stopped talking about it since the time they set foot outside the house! She even spoke about it at dinner tonight! I think I've heard her saying that she had a good time atleast a hundred times now(and i'm not exaggerating!). The trip down memory lane continued even till after lunch and I think they were talking abt it till three! Guess they did not notice time flying! Anyway, I can't really write anymore now...will be back later!
