ATITHI TUM KAISE AAOGE ??

If a “chipku” type guest entered your house it is difficult to throw him away. Gone are those days when we used to say " atithi devo bhav" . In the present fast running life, we have no time to show hospitality to our self then how can we bother to give even the traces of our precious time to an unwanted guest. The qualities of an unwanted guest are :

1) He is UNWANTED grrr . " There is no need of you in my house . Get the hell out of here."
2) He uses and touches things which he isn't supposed to do. Your precious thing . Those things which even you are scared of touching and do not allow any nasty friend or your siblings to touch.
3) He watches TV when your favorite programs are coming.
4) When he comes out of your toilet you need oxygen mask to enter their with tons of perfumes spray.
5) You have to buy sweets and other stuff to please him.
6) He keeps on ordering you to waste your time.
7) He utters again and again " mein aapko tang to nahi kar raha " but continues doing that.
8) He says again and again " ab mujhe chalna chahiye" but never go.

So what to do? These unwanted guests are like those mosquitoes to which no ALL OUT works. They are those communicable diseases which leave on their own wish in spite of how many doses of medicine you take and still no vaccination for these diseases has invented. Soon you start disliking their face and are filled with anger by a single glance but have to keep on smiling. You have to laugh on their crap jokes and listen carefully and with interest to their boring and repeating talks. We learn a lot of acting during their arrival and they enhance our enduring power, the only positive aspects of them.

So few days ago I received a call from an extreme and rare example of an unwanted guest. Yes that fellow had already visited my home again and we never wished for his second arrival. All the above agony is intended only for unwanted guest. We really love standard guest coming and living at our home. In a city like UJJAIN you have to welcome lots of guests especially when you live near the main ghat of kshipra river and mahakal temple. And we do that with out any puckered eye. As per dad we have to help other then only we can expect help from others.

So during his first visit he was a respected guest. I went to receive him. He was an old member of BJP and used to brag about his relations with prominent faces. That time it was very fascination to have a person in your home which had met with top leaders of our country. He always carried a album in which his photographs with leaders like " lk advani , atal bihari ji , vasundhara raje etc " and many other prominent faces were inserted. So we thought to give him a hearty welcome because it is always good to be in contact with persons of political influence. They are those trump cards which can easily ease the way of any tough government work of yours. India is a country of " SIFARISH" and nothing wrong to do "SIFARISH" as your official work which are delayed by corrupt officers are easily done with bargain and very less time.

We had prepared a very delicious food for him. But as soon as he arrived the situation turned. Same like you are expecting SACHIN to come and score a century but ramesh povar arrive, spoiling your whole mood. He started giving orders as we were his servants and had to greet him. He said he will not eat sitting on ground. He sat on one chair with his plate on other. He kept on demanding things and meanwhile telling lots of mistakes in food. Mom was burning in agony inside the kitchen. The scene was that the person which enter his room go with a smile and talk with sugar filled voice but while returning we had those frustrating and awkward faces like a crow had given PRASAD on our expensive clothes.

In India we are supposed to respect old mans despite how wicked they are. Old man can do all those crimes to which younger ones are punished and awarded the image of bad mannered. That shameless creature wanted to take a bath and he removed all his clothes ( not the underwear ) in our main hall. We were expecting his stay only for 2 hours but he didn't go to a hotel and remained at our home. These miser creatures loves to wreck others peaceful life. Mom offered her politely to wash his clothes and that shameless moron said yes and even left his undergarments also. We started panicking due to his presence and were praying for her departure soon. But he kept on ruling like a king and disrespecting his slaves again and again. Before leaving he demanded to make “parathas” for his train journey and I had never seen mom in that much anger before. Mom was shouting inside and the scene created was very enjoyable.

. Whenever his name is taken in our home, mom's agony returns. After his departure he called us many a times. Due to his bad luck, every time I received the call and ignored either by telling a wrong number or a bad signal or any other futile reason. His call stopped coming. But few days back he called again. I was deceived this time as first he asked " sharma ji hai ". I replied " ha aap kaun". Then he told his name and said he had lost the way of our house and demanded to receive him. Gosh! He was standing few meters away from my house .I was in a situation like a bomb was planted in my house. Don't know where and when it will explode. I told him to hold and went downstairs and shouted loudly “mom that wicked old fellow is asking for our address what to do". Mom also got unstable but came back to her wits soon. Sis suggested telling that one of our family members died and no one is in the home. When he called back I said the same thing in a very solemn voice and didn't wait for his response and put the phone down. Mom strictly ordered me not to open the door and gave some convincing excuse in case he succeeds to find our home. Since the day after this it is my duty to receive all phone call and talk in a changed voice to assure that he hasn't called.

So ATITHI , what you think you planned it very well. You will come and wreck our schedules and dominate us. We don't want to take risk in planning of "atithi tum kab jaoge". We will never allow you to come at our home. Do whatever you can do. "atithi tum kaise aaoge ?
