I am traveling in Vande Bharat train from Yzag to Hyd and the lady next to me has been on phone talking about her household politics. Apparently there are differences over jeedipappu koora (cashew curry) and mamidipallu (mangoes).

Apparently her SiL was served the cashew curry and this lady was ignored which clearly upset her. Currently, the heated discussion is about the food that was served in their wedding 20 years ago and how the magapellivaru (ladkewaale) were upset about it.

The lady feels she has always been ignored when it comes to food. Oh wait, it just became interesting! Discussion now is about Tupperware. Apparently her SiL was given pickles in Tupperware boxes while this lady was given in use & throw. This hurts! Who doesn't love Tupperware.!

Meanwhile I realized I have been using 'apparently ' a lot... I went back and counted too.! 🙈🙈🙈

Enter Srikanth, not sure of the relation, but this lady did a lot of chakiri (chores) for him. And looks like someone else is on speaker(shez scolding why they're on speaker) so looks like it's a group call. The plot thickens..! Looks like they're planning a coup.!

Someone called Sailaja is inconsolable in this call and this lady is asking Baaga edichava Sailu (did you cry well).? Weird right.? But we are still super invested in Tupperware and we think that this injustice should be voiced out.! I want to ask why Sailu is crying..

Am sooper curious to know why she is crying but I think it's bad manners to interrupt the flow. They are serving lunch now, and she asking for vegetarian option. Lady we are digressing..! Let's stick to Tupperware please... I want to take it to the end by the time we reach Hyd..

Meanwhile the vegetarian food is here.. 😋😋😋 I'll keep you posted as and when I have more updates..

Twist in the story: Someone got cheepuru(jhaadu) from their puttillu(mayka) and the lady is upset again. What is Rajesh doing she is asking. This is a new character entry now, could be related to Sailu who is still crying for reasons not known to me 😒

You know what I just realized, this lady has been on call for ~5hours now and hasn't put her phone for charging. I am now torn between asking the brand of her phone or the reason why Sailu is crying. Thoughts.?

Yayyy. Seems like we're getting closure here. So the real culprit is Gadda Perugu(thick curd). Either Sailu was not served this thick curd or she din serve someone this thick curd. Am not clear on this, but insults were thrown around for this. Southindians and their curd right.!!

Damn, we are back to Rajesh again. That SoB (her words, not mine) did not help with this lady's elder kids' medical college fees. Phew.! I wish travel therapy was covered by my health insurance, I would rather claim hazard pay..!😡😡😡

That's it folks. Thank you for being with me through the tweet journey and Thank your stars for not being with me through this journey 🙏
