atithi devo bhava....

ATITHI DEVO BHAVA....guest is god  ,well we must have learnt this from childhood and ya i do believe in following it...BUT...it seems my dad has taken these words too seriously.....resulting number of guests visiting our residence.The problem doesn't start here,its the surprise of  varieties we get is really irritating (as we hardly know who comes as they are related to dad's business) ...but some experiences are worth describing too..
Here is one of them....recently my dad's friend visited our residence..well he was invited by my dad just few hrs ago from his arrival...it all happened this way..the friend called my dad to inquire about  the address of a wedding venue,near by our residence,which he was going to attend with his entire family...so with seriousness of the words ATITHI DEVO BHAVA.....my dad invited them so that they can have dinner with us..WTF...will the dinner not be served at the wedding.????...but uh my dad...he forced them to come along...poor mom had to cook the lavish dinner...with fish as the friends family loved eating fish...who would'nt if its served FREE!!...the food was cooked and but we could'nt eat...well how can we go ahead without the GUESTS..so what if the rats along with other animals started dancing inside our tummy...At around 1:00am yes 1:00am the guests arrived...who politely said that they cant have food as they  had already eaten their  dinner at the wedding...keeping respect for my dad's invitation they even arrived....OH GOD...so they only drank the cold drinks and moved..HUSH THANK GOD ITS OVER....!!!!...so the lavish fish was saved for us...and we ate dinner at around 1:45am...the time where even the rats in our tummy along with  his friends had gone to sleep....zzzZZZzzz
Its good to be good...but sometimes being too good takes you nowhere...my dad really needs to know this...
I hope he understands this atleast once in his lifetime....
