The Mastkalandar Baloon story...



Anvi kutty,

Every day with you has been a memorable journey for us. The speed with which you have grown and the deeds you do gives us wake up alarm that you are growing fast. This was once such instance when I got a jolt from you..

Few days back we decided to get dinner from Mastkalandar. As usual you and I jumped on to our car and just when I was about to on the ignition you asked me.." Appa .. joola". As it was already dark and as I was scared of reptiles prowling in that area I told you " ujaa kutti" ( Tomorrow). Surprisingly you didn't ask again which was a little puzzling to me but I neglected.

The journey continued, we went on singing our routine rhymes and some slokas in between. We reached Mast Kalandar, got the parcel and just when we were about to start the manager in Mast Kalandar said "Happy New Year" to you and gave a baloon. You were thrilled to see such a mammoth baloon and were very happy to take it home. Now the interesting part of the journey started..

Slowly as I got absorbed in the Bangalore traffic, you started talking something to the baloon, I didnt notice initially but as your conversation with the baloon built I got curious to know what you were doing.

"Kaya Karthaisa Anvitha.." I asked.. ( What are you doing? Anvitha)
"Balloona..." You started ( the baloon)

"Sangas goshta aikthini..joola kelama manla..me nokka andhaara ongala manlen... kaan kee mala kelal sodnaska esa praan kadtheeski thooo manala baloon" ( The baloon is not listening to me.. it wanted to play in the joola, I said as it is dark you shouldnt , it replies that I am killing her by not allowing to play as she wants)

I got the shock of life, I didnt know you will narrate what you felt about me not allowing you to play in the Joola in a such an encrypted way through a story...
