TWO TRAINS ON THE SAME PLATFORM

A good host treats well and a good guest behaves well. We are good hosts as well as good guests. We are hospitable to our guests and provide them with tiffin, coffee etc and treat them nicely. 

Sometimes it so happens when a friend visits our house, another friend suddenly enters without prior notice. We provide them both with tiffin and coffee. One must be lucky that no other friend arrives to make it a conference. 

The problem is, if they know each other very well, they discuss among themselves various matters without even bothering about us and coolly leave the place together. Are we to doubt a foul play?

It looks as though my house is like a restaurant for them to meet and discuss matters. We feel disappointed for having received them as guests. What to do? Mind you, there cannot be two trains on the same platform nor two guests at the same time. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING

Nowadays, it is heartening to see good understanding between the mother in law and daughter in law. Excepting a few, who have traditional belief, all are friendly. They help each other or share domestic chores. If one is sick, the other takes care. If one goes shopping, the other manages. 

In my house the understanding between the MIL and DIL is unique. To cook rice, many works are involved. To clean the rice, to add the required water, to close the lid and to put the weight, to allow 3 whistles, to keep the flame slim for 3 minutes, and finally to switch off the stove. 

You will be surprised, if I say, they even share each of these works. I think probably they do like this because the blame if any, does not fall on any one of them. Whenever I ask them who prepared the dish, they say "BOTH" in chorus. Is it not a good idea?
