Q Is For Questions
Author: utbt5 Aug 2011
Questions are good to have. Without questions we become stagnant, don’t we?
The major questions that are eating us inside out are:
Chula: Amma, if I get up at 3.00AM, do you think I will get ready in time for my bus?
Mieja: Why must I read? What is the big deal amma, because I don’t even like it.
Me: What next?
R: Your amma cooks three times a day, she says that her gas cylinder gets over in 30 – 35 days. ‘U’ says hers gets over in approximately 45 days. Our cylinder has been going strong for 62 days now. Why? Are you cooking enough?
PS: Our first cylinder got over yesterday, much to some one’s relief! At least one question got answered.

Congrats on emptying the cylinder! Why are you still cooking? Paavam kuzhandhai, traumatized by school bus!! Seekaram thirumbi vara vazhiya paaru!! Other than C’s qn the others can be answered here.
UTBT SAYS: You mean M’s question?
hmmm..important Qs…but the very fact that she thinks about getting up at 3 AM makes me want to fall on her feet π
and oh yes..the gas cylinder is a big topic of discussion AND tension in our household as welll…Tell R that you employ fuel efficient methods of cooking π
UTBT SAYS: R’s mom, she ‘wants’ to do a lot of things. Like respond to what I say when I talk to her, finish her breakfast in time etc,etc. She talks non-stop about what she wants to do when there is a full plate of untouched breakfast, yet to get dressed, yet to pack her school bag, yet to wear her shoes and only 5 more min till the school bus arrives. I am already falling at her feet thanks to fainting spells from stress. You want to fall too, please be my guest.
LOL..at R’s question :-)))
UTBT SAYS: Yes, that that man, that that worry.
UTBT, Chula and Mieja’s questions seem very important. Earth shatteringly so.
Yours and R’s are mundane day to day questions. Looks like you got a super-sized cylinder (beginners luck?) either that or you all are so content in Hyd that you are not as hungry?
LOL at your falling at her feet with faiting spells. I have done that just last evening and am still recovering from it.
UTBT SAYS: AA_Mom, don’t tell me 60 days is too long!!! Either Supergas gave me an extra special cylinder or I am energy efficient. (Thanks R’s mom, good answer!!)
Chula’s Q: Lots of variations of these asked at our home too!!
Mieja Q: Sabaash sariyana kelvi π
Your Q: In our house, the hubby asks it all the time π
R’ Q: 62 days? You really should have got a super big cylinder, like AA’s Mom says. 45 to 50 is the average π
UTBT SAYS: Okay, this 45-50 days business is going to stay with this blog. It is not good for me to have teh husband read this.
Can you all cook a little less?!
LOL @ Rβs Q!
Am sure soon youβll be posting A is for Answers.
UTBT SAYS: The answers are,
To C: No. Even if you get up at 3.00AM, if you take 1 hr for morning ablutions, 1 hr to brush your teeth and 2 hrs staring at your breakfast trying to absorb it with your eyes, you will still be late. (She is not a morning person. Not a bit.)
To M, everytime she asks me a question, like , ‘Amma what does this box say?’ I read it out sounding the letters and add, ‘Since I READ it, I know. Reading gives me information and knowledge.’
To self: You know where I am w.r.t. this. The options are endless, but some days it feels like I am running around in circles.
To R: I just don’t get his question. Food is sustenance, needs to be clean, fresh, agreed. But this living for eating, especially when I am doing all the hard work is beyond me.
“she βwantsβ to do a lot of things. Like respond to what I say when I talk to her, finish her breakfast in time etc,etc. She talks non-stop about what she wants to do when there is a full plate of untouched breakfast, yet to get dressed, yet to pack her school bag, yet to wear her shoes and only 5 more min till the school bus arrives”..
In our case 5 more min to step out of the house just to miss the assembly by a minute…
and at bed or while returning from school when I ask her something “she doesn’t respond at all or says amma I am too sleepy now can we talk tomorrow?”
how can these girls do this?
UTBT SAYS: I know, I know Sigh!
Very funny about the gas cylinder. So different right…just in these simple ways how our lives change when we move from one place to another…U.S to India I mean…
UTBT SAYS: Absolutely Noonie.
good questions about gas cylinder!!!
UTBT SAYS: π
kelvi kekkaradhu eppovume easy π nalla purinju vechirukaanga. Smart kids.
UTBT SAYS: Sorry, for some reason the comment was in spam.
Yes, you are right Anu. The husband is ‘Kelviyin Nayagan’. No one to beat him.
