Watch Woman!

Top post on IndiBlogger.in, the community of Indian Bloggers
"Oh! Where's all the milk?
What about my bar of Cadburys Silk?

Where has my gold bangle gone?
I can't seem to find my old phone!

I'm sure there was a full packet of mithai*
It's halved; did it catch someone's evil eye?!

This is so strange! I can't fathom!
Is it the handiwork of some phantom?

Very surprising! I am shocked as can be!
Sherlock Holmes should have the key!

Wait! Why not I be detective?
Catch who's behind these acts furtive!"

I pretended to leave for office that day...
Checked in at the neighbourhood cyber-cafe! 

Entered the website and saw the 'live' coverage!
My home looked so sweet in the webpage!

Then I saw my main-door opened & shut
The culprit was now committing crime fataphat*!

One thing she didn’t know-
that she was being watched now!

It was my watchman's daughter!
Home-Security CCTV Technology enabled me to nab her!

I changed my watchman & my apartment's keys!
My lesson- Never hand over the keys, please!


*Mithai- Hindi word for 'Sweets'
*Fataphat- Hindi word for 'Fast'

    1. Sangeeta, We never know that things are missing, till we look for them & can't find them even in the places they are supposed to be...
      Food going missing is ok in a way that we can get a substitute, but certainly not for unique items like Gold etc. Many of my Mom's precious belongings- Silk-sarees, cash, jewellery, watches etc went missing...Sadly no Technology's help was taken, but the she knew who the culprit was as only one person had the keys!
