I was at the gym on Saturday evening - yes, I have renewed my Gym membership in order to allow them to make some profits and create more employment opportunities, but I digress as usual.
While I was doing my stretches, I spotted one of the trainers
come towards me. This guy is probably one of the only guys who always says a word or two beyond the Hello and Welcome that most of the trainers say.
And with my infrequent visits to the gym, I had obviously not seen him for a long time. When he came over to where I was, we exchanged the usual "Hello, How are you?" routine. I then stumped him with my next question.

I told him "பார்த்து ரொம்ப நாள் ஆச்சு.." - meaning, "I havent seen you in a while..". He was slightly taken aback and responded, "சார், நாங்க எல்லாம் இங்கயே தான் இருக்கோம். நீங்க தான் இங்க ரெகுலரா வரர்து இல்ல" - meaning, "Sir, we are all still here. Only you havent been coming here regularly".
I grinned and told him that I meant the same thing, in a different perspective. Like Potato and Potahto.

I am happy to know that, as an initiator of the rhetoric, and as the recipient of the "pat" reply, shame never played a part. Maybe you haven't turned entirely. There is still hope for us schlobs.
