My cook breaks the magician's code !!!!

The battle gets bigger and bigger with every phase. I struggle very hard to get atleast 5 hours of sleep at a stretch every night ( the target used to be 8 to 9 when I started) but then I give up, thanks to my little monster compressing my bladder as the months pass by. That morning, as usual ,when my cook showed up at my doorstep at 6am I welcomed her looking grumpier than usual. She asked me what was wrong and I told her I was feeling tired as I couldn't get sufficient sleep.

When you share your problem with someone you are at the risk of being showered with a lot of gyaan but if it's coming from your maid/cook then you dare say how useless it is aloud as you know you will have to suffer the consequences later. So , after I mentioned why I looked grumpy ( in spite of biting my tongue soon after that) I knew there was no turning back ! 

Cook : " Akka, I knew this would happen. You looked so good yesterday during the celebration of Gokulashtami in the building. I knew then itself that someone will cast a spell on you ". ( Read 'put kannu' in local language).

I wish she realized I paid her to do her job sincerely than paying me a compliment but again,I didn't dare say it to her face. In stead I said " It's not like that. More liquid in , so more liquid out and moreover my bladder is becoming small everyday".

Cook: " No Akka, you don't know. Your bladder size or condition is not even in the picture. Actually the spell shows up in different forms.."
Me: " What? People curse or cast a spell if someone is looking good ??? And that too, in this form??? What are you talking about? "
Cook : "Akkaaa, you don't know anything, you just sit here, I will do something to break the spell and then you can go back and get some sleep".

She didn't wait for me to respond and disappeared into the kitchen. But she made me think deeper. Hmmmm.......
Just imagine, if ordinary people like us can get affected to such an extent then what will happen to models and beauty queens? How many times will they have to wake up every night? If one model is jealous of the other, all she has to do is, cast a spell like this one! And when the moms of models or female actors say " Baby, you need to get your beauty sleep" what's the hidden truth behind it? It all started to unveil before me ( thanks to the insights provided by my divine cook).I wonder how many times Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightely, Lisa Hayden, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett,Jessica Alba,Madhuri Dixit, Zeenat Aman, Chithrangada Sen .....etc wake up in the night??!! I also want to know if it gets multiplied when there are more number of people casting a spell on one person ?????

Breaking the chain of thoughts my cook returned with some dried red chillies to rescue me and when I went to bed later that morning I dreamt about Rekhaji ( our yesteryear diva). In there, I was explaining my situation to her adding the logic that my cook had bestowed upon me earlier that day. Then I presented her with my question;

Me : " Rekhaji , we all know that you are an evergreen beauty. How many times have you gone through this for no fault of yours but for looking drop dead gorgeous ? Does it continue to happen even today? " 
Rekhaji : (Looking at me in disbelief) " I don't remember the older times gal but now it's not even an issue as I don't even have to step down from my bed." I dunno if she twitched after that or it's just the wrinkles around her mouth but I thought she gave me one last 'crazy Gal' look before I woke up to attend my call !

Moral of the story : The nature always calls but sometimes more than it should !
