paathi

after paathi cracked her second toe,
we forced her to stay in our house (a piece of flat ground).
surprisingly, more than a week has gone by
without her asking us to bring her back to the shop.
even though we still haven't installed astro yet.

so people who know me,
know that i talk to my paathi in malay.
yeps. just like an indonesian maid. XD
anyways, from my conversations with her,
i was provided with useful information.

paathi prefers mushrooms over tofu.
paathi uses hot water to wash her clothes.
paathi prays for two hours non-stop in the prayer room.
paathi eats the junk ( cottage fries) that i give her.
paathi loves soft (konyasi) basmati rice.
paathi has lots of inside information about people.
(questionable truth values, but they're good stories to listen to) :P
paathi usually eats 3 thosais at one go.
paathi watches p. ramlee movies with delight.
paathi says there's this other actor who passed away early that she likes.
paathi also knows that p. ramlee's wife has passed away.
paathi uses the word "keras", instead of "ketat".
paathi used to buy 1 ela kain yang banyak baik, bunga-bunga untuk anak-anak. (deepavali)

our washing machine at home was bought by thata
because at that time, saroja atte was doing all the washings by herself.
it is about 28 years old. (mithraka's age)
now i know its value. :P
it can stay at home until it thoroughly breaks down.
