‘Ammalu, I’m signing off from our relationship’
‘What does it mean ?’
‘I’m going away from you’
‘’Why your signature for that? . Come back soon. I’m making
oninon pakoda for evening tea’
‘No, Not going’
‘Onion pakoda is more valuable than your signature! That is why I’m taking charge of your bank cheque books. Pl. sign in this letter to the bank’
‘Ammalu, signing off is different from signing. You don’t know’
‘I do know. That was why I gave you ‘off’ and ‘sign’ I take’
