Annagiri!
Anna-giri! Son: Accha, I will be compelled to start a FUD! His mom: Don’t try Anna-giri at home, ok? Me: But what is happening, pray tell me? Son: Amma is insisting I should spend more time on studies and less time watching TV. Me: But what is FUD, son? Son: Oh, you don’t watch TV? Fast unto Death. Me: Considering you are in Class XII, Amma’s is a reasonable suggestion. Son: But she also insists that I can’t do FB or watch TV to see what Kiran Bedi is doing at Ramlila Maidan. Me: Son, take your time on FB, but avoid watching Kiran Bedi! ****************************************************************** Son: Accha, the English have a great sense of humour, I guess. Me: Why so, son? Son: A British University has decided to confer Ph.D. on our M.S. Dhoni! Me: Oh, that is very generous of them! Son: So, Accha, is it their way of thanksgiving? Me: I don’t know son! Son: And Accha, is it true that the Anna University is conferring Ph.D.s on Chidambaram and Kapil Sibal? Me: I am not sure son! Son: Will that also be by way of thanksgiving, Accha? Me: I will have to ask Mr Prasanth Bhushan or is it Mr Arvind Kejriwal? ****************************************************************** Mother to child: Enough of play, now go have your bath. Child: Give me five more minutes. Mother: If you don’t stop now, I will call Anna-jee! Child: That’s ok, but don’t summon Crane Bedi! ****************************************************************** Mother to child: Come now, have your lunch. Child: I won’t have lunch now, nor will I have dinner. Mother: But why are you like Anna-jee? Child: You haven’t yet passed my request for an ice cream after lunch! ****************************************************************** Mrs Sharmaji: How are you Anna-jee? Mrs Mathew: I am not Anna-zee, I am Anna. Mrs Sharmaji: Haan, haan, that is what I meant, Anna-jee. Mrs Mathew: But I am Anna Mathew, and not Anna-zee. Mrs Sharmaji: So, Anna-jee, you are not with Anna-jee? ******************************************************************
