Just for Fun and to get refreshed :):):):)

Sekar (Calling his family from Amsterdam): Good Evening Mom and Dad. Where is my wife Sheela?

Dad: Just now I called her. She is on the way to home after taking our

grandson Rahul from his school.

Sekar: Let us wait for her few minutes and we will start this discussion.

(By the time Sheela entered in to the house.. Sekar

continue the meeting)

I hope you know the Agenda of the meeting which I had mentioned in the

meeting request. Even though let me read out the agenda once again

1. Status update/Discussion on Last Week Action Items

2. Family Strategy

2. Rahul's Education

3. Medical Insurance for Mom and Dad

I hope every one have the printout of last week MOM (Minutes of Meeting).

Dear Mom can you please update the status of tasks which you are taking

care of?

Mom: Sekar, I am taking care of kitchen module which involves making

products like Sambar, Rasam, Curd Rice, Vegetable Biriyani.I am not

comfortable in handling the tools for making Non Vegetarian products. You

suggest some training in Hlite. However after making these products, I am

giving to your Dad for Acceptance testing. Once he's satisfied with the

quality of taste, we pass it to Dining Hall. One more thing, I would like

to share with you. As you have suggested during my appraisal discussion,

now I have stopped crying while watching mega serials in TV

Sekar: Sounds Good.

Sekar: Now coming to Dad. Dad can you please update us?

Dad: Yes. My dear son. I have completed my tasks by paying the current bill

and phone bill with in time.

Sekar: That's good

Dad: But I couldn't pay the premium amount of 9200.00 of the LIC plan which

you had taken for tax reduction purpose.

Sekar: It doesn't look nice dad. I have sent you the amount already and

given clear instructions.

Can you explain to me what went wrong?

Dad: On Tuesday night suddenly one of our team mate (your mom) fell down on

the floor when she was running to catch Rahul. Then we took her to hospital

and spent that amount for her medical expenses.

Mom: Sekar, I would like to add on what your Dad said, that was true. I got

heavy injury in my legs and I was in hospital for two days. So now we don't

have money to pay for the premium.

Sekar: Sheela..! Are you aware of this? As a home lead, I expect you to

track these issues and send it to me on daily basis. What are you doing

(With stress on 'doing') after coming from college?

Sheela: Will do it Sekar. You know that the college I am working is very

far from our home. Every day I come back home at 6 pm and sit with Rahul

for assisting him for doing his home work.

Sekar: Ok. Coming to second Agenda point .Due to this financial crisis we

need to change the strategy of running our family. I am looking for your

cooperation in the following cost cutting activities. I want to see the

cost benefit of 40 % in this month budget after implementing this

ü Asking servant maid to leave her job

ü Stop ordering Pizzas for dinner

ü Avoid Tooth paste and use Neem sticks/Banyan Tree Sticks

ü Switch on TV only for watching Sunday Movie and Friday filmy news

ü Wise to listen news from neighbours when they watch news in TV

ü Every Saturday visit our relative's homes and spend the whole day

including break fast, lunch and Dinner

ü Don't invite anybody to our home. Sunday our relatives might come

to our house. Just lock the door outside and do your work inside

silently.

ü Everybody assemble in adjacent street Perumal temple on Sunday for

breakfast. They provide 'Pongal' as 'prasadam' which is good in taste

ü Sheela stop going for gym and Yoga class. Use Attural (Made up of

Stone for making Dosa /idly dough), Ammikal (Replacement of Mixie)

instead of grinder and Mixie. Mom please give KT to Sheela about

this.

ü Don't buy excess of things and store it in Fridge. Use big Mud

pots for cool water.

ü Everybody go to bed early around 6:30 pm. Ask Rahul to do his

homework when he comes back from school immediately during the hours

sunlight is available. If not ask him to read under streetlight. He

will become like Lincoln (Former US President) one day.

ü Use as much of cycle for transportation to near by places(It will

help you to reduce fat and Cholesterol content)
