The White Potato Theory

H ey, why you are so grim today, what happened? Deepu asked Tripta.

"Yaar my mother, most times I feel, is a reincarnation of that evil Hitler"

Why what happened, do not talk like that after all…………

After all what? Tripta asked annoyingly.

"All she wants me to do is whatever she wants as if I don't have any feelings, I am tired of her vehement behaviour.

"Yep, in our house, all hell breaks loose
