PEG-I
I don't take any risk while pegging !
my wife will be busy cooking in the kitchen by the time I go home !
I here some sound on the shelf !
I tiptoe into the house without making any sound !
I take out the bottle from my black cupboard !
I do everything secretly!
Because I don't take any risk!
An unused glass
Kept in the bathroom shelf I take out carefully!
I pour a peg into the glass and drink to my throat !
After washing the glass cleanly I place it back in the shelf!
Of course! I do wash the bottle too and keep it back !
Ganghiji is giggling from the photo!
I then go to the kitchen to see!
My wife is mixing the dough!
I do everything secretly!
Because I don't any risk!
Me: Is Reddy's daughter's marriage finalised!
My wife from the kitchen: He himself is a big loafer, his daughter is really unfortunate!
PEG-II
I again come out of the kitchen!
Some one is calling from inside the black cupboard!
I take out the rest of the bottle without making any sound !
I pour a peg into the glass and drink to my throat again!
After washing the glass I keep it in the bathroom!
Of course! I keep the black glass in the shelf!
I do do everything secretly!
Because I don't take any risk!
Me: by the by is Reddy's daughter grown up to be married?
My wife from the bedroom: What, grown up? She ia as old as two asses together!
Me: (Resisting myself from saying...............) is it?
PEG-III
I again take the dough from the black cupboard!
Cupboard has changed its place!
Taking the bottle out from the shelf!
I pour a peg into the bathroom!
Gandhiji is laughing loudly!
After keeping the shelf in the dough!
I wash Gandhiji's photo and keep it in the cupboard!
My wife places the bathroom over the stove!
The bottle does everything secretly!
Because I don't take any risk!
Me: (angrily) How dare! you call Reddy an ass?
My wife from the cupboard: Stop blabbering nonsense, just get the hell out of here!
PEG-IV
I take out the bottle from dough!
Getting into the black cupboard I take a peg!
After washing the bathroom I keep it back in the shelf!
My wife is laughing at me from the photo!
Gandhiji is still busy cooking in the kitchen!
Reddy does everything secretly!
Because I don't take any risk!
Me: (laughing) What Reddy married an ass?
My wife from the bottle: Just shut up, go and help Gandhiji in the kitchen!
I peeped into the kitchen again and came back!
I sit calmly inside the shelf!
The glass is also in the shelf!
I here the bottles making a lot of sound outside the kitchen!
I get out of the bottle and see!
My wife busy taking peg on peg in the bathroom!
The donkey does everything secretly!
Because Gandhiji doesn’t take any risk!
Reddy is still busy cooking in the kitchen!
I keep laughing at my wife from the photo hung on the wall!
The bottle does everything secretly!
Because the peg doesn’t take any risk!
