Scene One...


Continued....

All the while He & She were busy behind the doors, I was taken through this excerpt from the book I read the previous night.

Oja left the door open and went back to sit on the floor and stare at the television. From seven to nine every evening, she was hypnotized by the melancholic Tamil soaps. During this time she encourage everybody to disappear. 
Ayyan sat beside her and watched the serial patiently.'Why is that woman crying?' he asked to irritate her. 'Last night too she was crying. She has no dialogue?'
Oja did not respond. Her own large interested eyes were moist.
He told her, 'I come home after a hard day's work and you just sit and watch TV?'
Her nostrils flared a bit but she chose to remain silent. That was her strategy.
'You know, Oja,' he said, as he began these things, 'rich people have a name for everyhing. They even have a word for the time a man spends with his family. 
''Really?' she asked without turning round.
'They call it Quality Time.'

All the while Ayyan was knowingly pushing his luck. And that was exactly what He did. He was pushing his luck by irritating an already irritated wife. Oh! some of the lines used by He were exact same. Wonder whether they learn this the moment they become 'Husband'!

End result? He & She gets into a fist fight... which included She throwing water on He & He throwing water on She...

All I can say is..... :-) :-*
