The Notice Board
The notice board is an integral part of any institution, be it virtual or physical.
But out here,I am not talking about a notice board in the usual sense of the term. I am talking about the moving, talking and worrying(!) notice boards all around us.
Like every country has a national song and a flag, likewise every neighborhood has a notice board. The person who is like the daily newspaper that is slammed into your windows every morning (a word of apology for people who get their newspapers in the evening).
This person is an unique creation of society and is an integral part too. He/She usually carries the duty (and an important one at it too) of informing the world at large of the happenings of the world...
She is the one who makes it a point to keep a tab on all the people, no matter what happens. She actually acts as an unifying factor, for people in families unify to preserve their well guarded secrets, but not many can escape the techniques of this person. She is like the lady Hercule Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. She keeps on poking and prodding, until the truth falls out. Then she makes it her solemn duty to spread the word!!!
But then, have we ever wondered what actually prompts this person to act this way? We all hate this person, but deep down people wait for this person, for the little tidbits they bring in and over that evening cup of tea, everyone likes to discuss what the person said. The person is surely an integral part of every household.
Every Indian household must have come across this being, and truly our society would be really boring without this person.
She is the perpetual "Aunty jee" of Indian communities...
