Vijay's dad’s brother (chithappa) passed away last February (that’s not hilarious by the way) and according to the tradition, we are not supposed to celebrate any festivals for the whole year. We could not even do Samanu’s first mottai when we were in India in April. My mother-in-law is visiting us from India and she is here from mid July. From the time she is here, whenever we talk about festival, she immediately says “We should not celebrate any festivals as Vijay’s Chithappa passed away”. Sometimes, she will not even hear what we say, but she responds with a big “NO”.
The other day on October 2nd, I asked her about a serial in Vijay TV that Why is it not getting telecasted today? She told me that it is Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday and that’s why they have some other programmes. Vijay spontaneously replied to his mom “Amma! Chithappa passed away, we cannot celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday this year”. I thought it was Hilarious! Not sure whether it is my MIL syndrome that added kick to this moment J. But I really found it very funny when he responded immediately.
