Weird !!!

I was on my way back to my house after a pretty long day at office, a good twenty minute walk from the bus stop to my place. I was very hungry and I wanted something badly so I was rushing towards my house. I generally take the same route everyday.
On my way back I saw an old lady probably aged around 65, standing in front of her house; she was looking at me, may be hoping that I would be of some help to her. When I was almost in front of her house, she waved and said “Baa pa illi”. I turned back to see if it was some one else behind me. Then I looked back at her and she said”neene baa pa illi”. Now I sensed that something was wrong here and the old woman needed some help badly. I went near her house and she requested me to help and suddenly she ran into her house. I was pretty much confused; I didn’t know what to do. I did not want to enter a stranger’s house at first but I decided otherwise, I just wanted to help that poor lady and get her out of the trouble she was in. So many things were going inside my head for those few seconds, to name a few… a probable cylinder burst, fire, some one from her family needed medical attention immediately. I just followed her inside; I was a bit curious as to know what had happened, which made her let some complete stranger into her house and as a result a bit tensed too:-) She was waiting for me inside, I went inside and looked everywhere around, no fire or anything of that sort and I am a bit relieved and a bit more curious and enquired about her problem. She hands me over the TV Remote and says she is unable to view some Kannada channel and her favorite serial had started and wants me to fix it:-) I could not stop laughing, at the weird lady and also at myself may be for overreacting to the situation. She was cursing the cable guy for not responding to her call and she started telling me the story of that crap serial. As soon as I came to know this I just wanted to leave her house as soon as possible. I surfed all the hundred channels but could not find that channel and told her that the only person who can help her is the cable operator. I handed over the remote and while leaving I gave her some piece of advice, initially I did not want to advice a person who is much, much older to me but still I did. I told her not to let any stranger into her house in the future. The way she replied sounded like one responsible old lady but not to be, she said she never lets any one inside her house come what may, but it seems she somehow got the feeling that I am a good guy. How on earth can someone be so irresponsible?Instead of letting a complete stranger into her house she could have easily given a miss to that boring serial.
I then left her house thinking about how strange some people can be:-)
