Mr. Sharma comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his neck:

/ l) C* C9 ?- m& gThe doctor gave me a test today, but until we find out for sure, we can't tell anybody.'
The next day, Mrs. Sharma receives a telephone call from Reliance Energy because the electricity bill has not been paid.

'Yes... speaking'
Reliance guy, 'You're a month overdue, you know!'
'How do YOU know?' stammers the young woman.

'Madam, I am sorry... I am following orders.... I have to inform you are overdue'
'I know that ... let me talk to my husband about this tonight. .... He will speak to your company tomorrow '
That night, she tells her husband about the incident, and he, mad as a bull, rushes to Reliance office the next day morning.
'What's going on? You have it on file that my wife is a month overdue?
What business is that of yours?' the husband shouts.
