Hayyo!!!!!

This happened last week, there was a Circular from our Flat Association (I have just moved in here after my wedding) that there will be a General Body Meeting addressing major and all issues of all the Flats on May 1st, Tuesday at 9:00 am. I was shocked to see a major meeting being held on a week day during office hours. I didnt sign the sheet and told the flat helper that I will consult with my husband and ask the Flat Secretary to reschedule the meeting to a convenient timing. He was a little reluctant about me not signing the sheet but went away. I spoke with my dad-in-law later that afternoon and as I was saying this, he suggested me writing down in that sheet itself that it will not be a convenient timing, rather than going and talking with the Secretary. And my husband came home and said that had it been him, he would have written it down that way. The next morning, the helper came again, I told him that I was going to write the details in the sheet, he kept asking me as to why I dont just sign, but then, why would I do that? Shouldn't I voice my opinion against a totally useless scheduling? I wrote in detail asking the Association to reschedule the meeting to a more convenient timing like late evenings during weekdays, or on Sundays and that we will not be able to attend this meeting and that we feel that there is no point in conducting such a meeting. I was glad that I had done a good job only to find my husband asking me later in the afternoon as to when the meeting was scheduled. He asked me after he got a call in which I heard him saying a SORRY and all that. I told him that it was on the 1st of May at 9:00 am , he asked me what is 1st of May and I realised that it was a holiday being May Day.. oops!!!! so that was a call from the Association asking us why we had issues when the meeting was being conducted on a holiday and why write behind and that they are getting into the official records.. well, but nobody realised that it was May day, probably becoz I stressed more on the fact that it was a Tuesday at an office hour ... And what more, I had written everything and signed "For Vivek" :P:P:P . Idhukkudhaan over-a unarchivasa pada koodadho :-(

P.S. : But how many of you actually observed the May 1st there? ;-)
