PMS... the interpreter of all maladies...


If you asked my mum what PMS means, she probably will say it means, Personal Mail Service or something similar (this is based purely on assumption and in the faith that she doesn't read my blog :D) 'cos I have never heard her use the word to describe her moods, the weather, the political situation or the economy, unlike us today who use it as a comprehensive blanket for all problems and in all situations.

Alder keeps using the word with alarming frequency to describe all of us, especially when he is at the receiving end. It has somehow become acceptable that any deviation from the 'normal' is a direct consequence of PMS. It cannot be that women today are afflicted by this particular blight and our mothers and their mothers were not.

So what do you think they took refuge under or what envelope did they hide in...

Cheeepss... it took a post on PMS for you to comment on my blogs? (in writing that is)
Well yeah, Pathi Maika Sasural was the bane of their existence I guess. And most of their problems originated from there and ours maybe? ;)
Yabbaaa... the next gen and Pre Marital Sex... well I don't really know whether they will confuse sex with the institution of marriage.
Fossil rock... move on!

Keep going ladies, love the comments.

Well, here is my interpretation.

PMS = Phoga illa, madhyam illa, sex illa. Translation - no smoking, no drinking, no sex

Or

PMS = Post Marital Slump!!!!
