TALE OF TWO TONGUES


I am not writing about any freak creature having two tongues or something like that. Even with one single tongue people can cause you so much harm to others !
Yesterday...Guru Porrima Day... on returning home I found my " Better half" a bit low in enthusiasm. I thought the usual "Chennai visit syndrome " ...after every visit to Chennai she goes to a low level on enthusiasm and recovers a bit slowly.
She said that that was not the case. But said that she was planning to visit a temple with a friend of hers and as they were getting into a two wheeler, she was told by the neighbor that even if she feel down on the way, now the town has got a new ortho. So she was told to take the ride without any fear.
I told her not to feel bad. But asked her to take walk along with me to the nearby park. She got ready and we went for a walk. After entering into the next street we were greeted by a resident . Their garden boasts of the best roses in Nangal town and we always used to take a break and stare at them. The lady asked us where we were all these days etc. We told them that we were away in Chennai for Diwali and returned two days back. Then the master of the house joined us in the conversation.
He told us that they were blessed with two sons and whenever anyone of them would get married they would give the first invitation to us. We were very surprised and asked why. Politely both of them told that they found us close to each-other, very pious and friendly. These words were enough to pep up my better-half.
Same town, same folks ...whereas one tongue spits out venom and reveals the negative feelings, other one shows the admiration, adulation to unknown people !!
God unique are your ways !!!
