Sales Person who made me small

Situation is Sunday morning in the drawing room



ME: (applying oil on His Head!?! ya coconut oil)

HE: (reading paper - THE HINDU)



ME: ##%$*!@ irritated at a sales person knocking at door

HE: go check what is it for



ME: me asking from inside the room what she wants

HE: go there and find out...



Salesperson: im from reliance do you want landline or bb connection?



ME: (still applying oil) no thank you we already have both connections (she goes away)

HE: ##%$*!@ (now irritated) why cant you go and there and ask?



ME: why should i ? nothing is more important for me than what im doing now !?!

HE: poor thing just because they dont have the means they are going around on a sunday from door to door! even if you dont need it atleast be courteous and be gentle and say you dont want it and thereby encourage them



me: !@! (i never even thought of these things!?! see how small i ve become!)

Women's Day, Everyday! Anybody game?

Why do we celebrate womens day? Honestly I don't know. Why the flowers, chocolate and gifts and all the fuss.
