The New Begning

Tommorow is my first day in the new company. This is the second company that I am going to step in. Previous job I managed to hang for 2 years.

Has any one heard of Astami and Navami. It seems these two days are really bad ones to start something new. Tommorow happens to be Navami. For past couple of weeks my parents are calling me every now and then to convince me not to join on 26th Sept. After helplessly yelling at them they gave up on that.

They told me the pariharam ( Some prayers to get the better of the stars and planets). Now just left with few hours to go, they have started calling me again. They want me to reach the office after 9.00 am. The reason being 7.30 am to 9.30 am is " Raagu Kaalam ". My reporting time is 8.30am, ' Oh God' y do u have to make my life so miserable by putting all the stars and planets in the worst possible manner at the time of my joining the new place.

Generally I dont know about all these superstitious stuff anad I dont believe in it also. But talking to my parents had made me believe that tommorow is the worst possible day and 8.30 is the worst possible time of that worst possible day. A small fear had crept into me, because if something goes wrong in my new job, I am not going to get any sympathy from my parents if I dont listen to them.

Futuristing Dream scenario " Suddenly one fine day my new company decides to throw me out"

Me : Dial +91 422 24#####
Amma : Hello
Me : naan thaan pesuren ma (its me mummy)
Amma : epadi da irruka, un kural enna oru maathiri irruku ( How are you, y do u sound so dull)
Me : Amma enna velaiya vitu thorathitaanga maaa ( I got retrenched ma)
Amma : Aiyoo ennada ipadi sollura ( Aaah! what are you saying )
Me : naan oru thappum pannala maa, company loss la poitu irruku. athan ( I didnt do anything wrong, my company is in loss, thats y)
Amma : Naan thaliyaa adichukitenne da, Navami innaikku serathu serathannu! sonna ni enga keta. ( I told you so many times, not to join work on that inauspisious day )
Me : Hmm
Amma : Raagukaalam Raagukaalamnu padichi padichi sonnenne da, naanga sollurathu onnayum ni ketkamaata. Ippo anabavikirathu yaaru. Naanga ellam un nallathuku thaan solluvom. enga varthaya ketu iruntheena ipadi ellam nadanthu irrukaathu. ( You didnt want to listen to us, about not joining on that bad day and bad time, now see you are the one reaping all its ill effects)
Me : enna pannurathune theriyala maa ( I dont know what to do )
Amma : ippavum onnum ketu pogala, naan sonnathu ellam ( Even now its not too late, follow my instructions )

1. Sithi vinayakar kovil la poi 108 rounds suththu. ( Go to ganesha temple and go round it 108 times )
2. Saneeswarar ku sani kilamai poi archanai pannu. ( Offer special prayers to Saturn god on Saturday )
3. Velaiyai ellam nalla padiya kidaicha udane, India vukku vaa, Tirupathi ku poi unnakku oru mota podalam. ( If you get a new job soon, come to India and we will go to tirupati and get your head shaved )

Me : Konjam kaasu anupi vainga maa, adutha velai kidaikira varaikkum selavukku venum. ( Send me some money to survive ma)
Amma : intha vaaram, nalla naale illai. Next week nalla naal paathu anupi vaikiren. ( Will wait for a good time and send it to you next week )
Me : Thanx maa. Bye.
Amma : Nalla saami kubimdu, ellam nalla badi ya nadakkum. ( Pray well and everything will end up well )

This seems to be a very scary thought. So decided to go late to office on the first day. Decided to report at 9.05 am. Still thinking of some good excuse to tell the department head for my late going. Hope I will come up with one before reaching the office.
