Tha gardeners were busy watering my roses , trimming the bushes, birds in the fountain.I smiled and closed the window...
 Near the window were three buttons. I rang the 1st n 3rd buttons.. The manager n gauriamma appeared... gauriamma arranged my table wid juice n sandwich. Manager  came n said,
"Mam someone needs u on the phone".
 "hmm?". he handed over the phone.
"helloe?". i could hear heavy breathing sounds but no reply.
 "HELLO?", i shouted.. no answer.
 "The man is deaf?", i asked the manager.
