    Your 'anna' definitely sounds like a 'misfit' albeit an adorable one Raba. May be he is trying to compensate for his family's 'vengala thondai'? :) 30 of your cousins live in the same street? Oh, how I envy them! We are a close knit family too with many boisterous cousins but unfortunately we are sprinkled all over the globe making it a tad difficult to meet often. Thanks for your fb Raba.

    Well Aruna, you sound like a delightful misfit, one that every family wishes for. I have no doubt in your ability to dig water even in a desert but spare your shoulders and resist the urge, my dear.:biglaugh Thank you for stopping by Aruna.

    Wow Balajee, you speak 4 european languages? I am impressed. I can't even claim to be an expert in my mother tongue. :bowdown If I had been fortunate enough to be a 'misfit', I would have wanted your kind of skills for sure. :) Thank you for a great fb Balajee.

    Hmmm...no misfits in your family? Kelly, guess what? You are a misfit now in this fb section for you are the only one with a family of no misfits. :) Kidding aside, thank you for a lovely fb.

    My dear Padmaji,

    Thank you for such an appreciative comment. Coming from an accomplished writer like you, it means a lot to me.

    //Well, guess I am a misfit too, as I tend to cling to tradition in this world where change is the name of the game!

    You are not alone in that but I doubt if anyone else would have expressed it any better. Awesome!

    Meena, seriously when I read this snippet of yours, I had this feeling of I know these kind of people, where have I come across this and now I realise it is the entire of my DHs' family and according to them I am so normal that I am such a misfit there!!! Most of them end up staring when I show my delight with laughter, hugs or claps and are always surprised at how much I can talk.....you know how we normal people are!!! So to answer your question.......

    ...... while the whole family thinks of me as a misfit...you know what I feel right???

    As always, wonderful writing and thoroughly enjoyed reading. Thanks.

    Hey Beryl,

    Welcome to Snippets. Guess what? I tried to pronounce your city's name and got my tongue all twisted up. The next time you intend to move, please choose a tongue-friendly city, my friend. :wink:

    Kidding aside, thank you so much for your appreciative fb. :)
