Blood Pressure & Coconut Fiber
Part 8?
She spoke too much she said too many things about him, quite uncharacteristic of her, from the moment she got in the car on Kutcheri(recital) night...
"Amma avan ipdi daan vandaan office, he came EXACTLY IN THAT OUTFIT"
"Its almost like he is a sexist, you know what Appa HE IS A BLOODY SEXIST"
"Amma avan college drop out nenaikaren, I think he is a college drop out"
"Pappaji must have used his connections with the Chief Minister and gotten him into St Stephens, two years la odirpaan, he must have fled in two years"
She said mean things, she said smug things she said reasonable things... mostly only unreasonable things๐ณ๐
Appa calmed her down, Amma rolled her eyes on the whole gender equality argument, she was a M Phil M ed in Econ, both daughters went to Kendriya Vidyalaya
Women of the 1970s and 1980s did not wear their activism on their forehead like the 20 somethings did these days
"Porum di neruthu, stop it" Amma said
"I wont I will stop only when he quits" she said ready for war
She went home woke Vandu Akka up at midnuite and told her about the encounter Akka said
"Enakku ida solla ardha raatri panni niya di, PO DI! (DID U ACTUALLY CALL ME TO TELL ME ABOUT SOME PUNJABI JACKASS AT MIDNITE?")
She went to bed and couldnt sleep, Periappa moaned, she went and checked
He was having a bad dream... she stood by the door watched him fall asleep and went back to bed
Got up as an afterthought and turned on the light above the dressing table... and stared at her nose ring
Her face was flushed for some odd reason and she was unable to sleep
"Rakshasan, 28 la blood pressure kuduthuduvaan, he will give me an ailment at 28"
She cursed and struggled to sleep

He sat in the balcony and sipped on Scotch on the rocks, it was 1 AM
He called his Thai partner, and arranged for two phone calls, the guy asked him to go check out a data automation start up in Blore
And a coconut fibre product in Kerala
He spoke for two hours, and woke Mihir up
"R&B have you run out of women to screw?"
"Actually I am on a hiatus" he said sulking
"R&B giving up on sex? The world must be nearing its end, I am not even married... Jesus Christ...
hang the f**k up I have to go to Matrimony.com and update my profile" Mihir made a sick joke...
"I ve been going into Spectrum 5 days in a row... I cannot stand the sight of the guy" R&B hissed
Mihir paused... "Sam texted me pictures, atleast u are getting along"
R&b looked confused "Kya matlab?"
"U went to dinner, didnt u?"
"Sam is a nut job... I havent said a word to him in 4 years and thats the truth"
"Are u counting R&B?"
"U BET I AM" R&B said angrily
"Take care of the company, Chachu apparently spoke to Uncle about giving up controlling ownership, ands selling his stake to him u know"
Raman didnt give a DAMN...
"He should I want to go back to Paris"
"U can find someone here u dont have to fly 9 hours to get laid these days" laughed out loud
"I will be gone later this week Blore and Kerala"
"Are u falling for a Southie?"
Raman suddenly stood up from the wrought iron swing...
"Not funny!" he muttered.. as Mihir talked about the latest album he got... R&B strolled... set his Scotch on the slim rail saw it perch... precariously...
his fingers went up to his nose... the faint scent of jasmine wafted in the night breeze...
