You can never pretend before kids:
When I was traveling by bus, a 75 year old also sat by the side of me, and immediately started talking to me, asking about where I was getting down etc.
As some incident happened in our Gated Community, My neighbor’s young son was seriously ill due to some Virus, So i was not in a talking mood.. Mentally i was praying for that Child.. And pretended as if I am deaf and put my right hand on my right ear; and just lilted my head a bit.
Trick worked and he thought I am deaf, and raised his voice more.
I still acted as if I did not hear him. He did not leave me either.
He was telling co passengers ‘old deaf people must wear hearing aids when traveling alone’. and saw me. I did not show any emotion!!
My testing time came and bus conductor came to me …before he could ask “I told him Avichi School. and gave me a Rs 20 /- note.
Conductor did not leave me either. and asked me “please give me 7 rupees.”
Really I did not have any coin change. and I just looked at the conductor.
75 year old immediately told the conductor: 'Avarukku kadu ketkala." ( he can not hear) ..
Conductor. Looked at me… and I just smiled at him.
Murmuring something.. he gave me rupees balance in coins and a ticket.
10 year old School boy standing by the side probably knew I was pretending.
He was just smiling at me. his eyes conveyed that.
I just winked my eyes
My cell phone rang, if I pick up, that 75 year old would know that I am not deaf.
I did not pick up the phone.
My bus stop came, I got down. I did not see that 10 year old also got down.
I took my cell phone and talked to my wife, she was scolding me why I did not pick up the phone, and I was told her about that 75 year old passenger asking me so many questions and I pretended …and did not attend your call and looked back, there behind me that boy was laughing at me
