My Mom brought an acrobatic speciman home!

Barely able to open my eyes with a nose that resembled Rudolf , I sneezed for the umpteenth time :-(before picking up the call of ‘Mommy’…
“Hello? You still sleeping?? What happened ? You again sat up late night in front of that inanimate object writing nonsense. I told you so many times…:rant. Im going to break that comp:bangcomp:”
“Na MA, I guess I’m not well…”Aachhhhoooooooo And as if to prove it another Aacchhooooooo followed.
“WHAT?” she shrieked. “You NEVER fall sick.”
Despite the splitting headache I managed to say,
“Ma, cant help it you know, whatever you think I still fall under the species of human beings. So an occasional…”
“Rubbish.. Who did you meet yesterday?? Were you looking very pretty?”
“Ma, how does one answer that and secondly this is a viral”
“Your attitude is terrible.Im coming there”
Not realizing what I was getting into I said,
“Ok Ma…”Acchhhhhooooo

Exactly 30 mins later she arrived with a pandit in tow.
“What is he here for?”:confused2:……..Achchooo
“To cure you”
“Never knew this fraudster was a quack. Isn’t he the same fella who eloped with our minor neighbour and became a pandit when he was released from jail”Accchooooooo…..
“OH SHUT UP”:shhh:

I looked at the pandit. He looked like a hybrid of Shakti Kapoor and Prem Chopra put together… Eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkssssss!:shaking:

They both comfortably settled down as I almost collapsed sensing what was in store.
“Panditji , here is her horoscope ….tell me whats wrong with her”
“VIRAL ………FLU……”I croaked in the middle
“If you don’t shut up, I shall gag you” Mommy threatened
Exhausted of all energy and absolutely enervated, I looked at them running through my horoscope and talking about rahu, ketu etc etc.

Just then the door bell rang and my doc friend arrived with the meds for me. He looked at the Pandit and was about to say something when he saw Mommy giving him that threatening look that probably choked his vocal chords for the day. He gave me the antibiotics and left for his clinic.

After 15 minutes , I saw this pandit swaying. Worried I asked Mom if he gets fits and should we call a doc.
“NOOOOOOOOO… Hes found it.”
“Found what?”Acchchoooo
“That person responsible for your sickness.”
I wanted to ask her if he saw a mirror cause I wasn’t so sick till I saw this guy Witsend.
As I looked at him, eyes tightly shut, swaying around with greater force now and muttering something, I wondered :ideawhat would happen if I just screamed 'FIRE....... RUNNN'. I silently chuckled imagining the reaction but said nothing as I felt a pair of angry eyes on me.
‘You giggle too much and I am fed up of asking you to stop giggling this much. Now see whats happened.”
So the virus doesn’t like gigglers eh? .*sigh*Acchhhooooo

“Get a coconut” said the pandit
Mom signaled me to obey.
“There are no coconuts at home”… and if there were I would have broken it on your head.. I wanted to add.
I gave the pandit a look that made him change his mind,
“ Koi baat nahin.. We can still go on without coconuts”
Again that Premchopra grin and he continued his buffoonery.

After another hour this pandit was normal .By then my head was spinning and every two minutes I ended sneezing and as I sneezed his mantras became louder. Wow. How situational! I popped in the pills that my doc gave me and tried to close my eyes when I felt something funny tickling my face and my nose. I opened my eyes with a start to see some feathery stuff being paraded over my body and that thing made me go on a sneezing bout. Achhooooo Achoooo Achoooooo.
“Take this thing away”I almost cried and asked Mom to stop this torture.
She finally said.
“Ok we are done. If you are not well tomorrow we shall come again”

The next morning , I called up my doc friend and he asked me to continue the meds and take some vitamins also. I was much better and kept looking at the phone waiting for that threatening call. And there it was………
“How are you?"
“Yeah MA Im much better so please DO NOT BRING THOSE ACROBATIC SPECIMENS HERE”
“Relax, he’s not coming. Poor guy …. Seems he’s been sneezing all night and down with fever. God knows who did this to him……….”
I hung up and what began as a giggle had me rolling on the floor with laughter…..:rotfl

Love,
Devika
