Horro(r)scope!

Kamalam: "Easwaraa...(our same old Easwaran) I wish at least this Jhaatakam (a.k.a Horoscope) matches with our daughter's!

Swaminathan: "This is mailed by Ammanji* Raaman...He is very wise in all these. I am sure, this will match..."

Kamalam: "Hmmm...U said the same when ur Athanga* Raji sent an horoscope last time. Then, what happened? This is the 25th horoscope we are checking for namma Seetha. Easwaraa...will tonsure ivvaalodu head if this horoscope matches..."(Swami gave her a "who-gave-you-permission-to-tonsure-my-head?" look)

Swami: "Seri,seri...now,don't raise my BP. Let us see what our Jyothsiar (ä person who "ana-lies-ses" the horoscopes to match them)has to say.."

Jyothsiar (with a "300 rs guaranteed today" thought & million paisa smile): Aaha...aarakkum idhu vandhurukkarthu? Thaango...jaathakam thaango...baeshaa paathoodalaam...

Swami: "We liked the profile. Payyan (proposed groom) is earning 25 lakhs. They have 3 cars. 3 houses....adhum individual houses...idhavida nalla proposal will not come for our Seetha. If she is lucky enuf, this will match...."

Jyothsiar: "Kavalayae padaanthungo..ippo, i will check and tell u...whether our Seetha is lucky or not! {He ana-lies-ses the horoscopes...rows & columns...vertically & horizontally...upside down...in & out....} baesh...baesh...9/10 match aavarthu...i have never seen such a porutham (match) in my entire life...raaghu is sitting under kaethu and in between kumbam & meenam...so...no worries...They will live 100 years happily married and will have thousands of kids. Such a nice match I say***!"

Kamalam had all "happy" and "ready-to-come-anytime-without-glycerin" tears.
Swami immediately had ä day dream of Seetha going in 3 cars...

Athanga Raji & Ammanji Raaman got the news. Athais, athimbars,chithees,chithappas,maamas,maamees...everyone got the news.

"Edhukkum...oru second opinion kaetukungo...." all suggested (with a burning stomach)

Kamalam & Swami got 2nd & 3rd opinion. "Best match seen till date" was the opinion again and again.

Both uttered "ëaswara....now we will finalize the date at the earliest".

"Seetha is very lucky" & "How lucky Seetha is?" seemed to be the only 2 lines used in all the village conversations thereafter...the lady luck got bored of being used/called sooo many times a day.

Seetha became a celebrity overnight...all thanks to her "25 lakhs ATHM" (any time husband's money), soon to be owned 3 cars & 3 individual houses.

All girls mothers in the village started disturbing "ëashwaran" demanding similar alliances for their daughters.

Well...The W-day arrived.

Ellaam mangalakaram...

At nite...Seetha entered the room and sat on the bed near Subramanian alias Subbu. Subbu hesitated and moved a little further.

Subbu : "ühum...hmmm....well...i want us to be just frenz...i am in love with Karthik. Hope u understand!!!"

Seetha was "horror(scope)" stuck I say***!!!
