Dear Mama,

1. Do you remember the glass of milk which I used to drink every morning?

Remember you gave me a beating when you caught me pouring my milk into the sink. What you don’t know is that I had been pouring the milk down the drain for 2 yrs before you caught me at it.

2. Remember the Kissan Orange Squash you used to keep locked in the fridge?
Well........I had this flat hair pin which could open the fridge. Whenever the coast was clear, moi would open the fridge with this flat pin and pour the 3 inches of Kissan concentrate into a glass.
Then open the cold water bottle which was kept just next to the Kissan Squash and pour 3 inches of water into the Kissan Squash Bottle, & carefully close the lid & keep it back.
Then pour some water into the glass of orange concentrate. Replace the water bottle back in the fridge.
Then relock the fridge with the flat pin and disappear with the glass of yummy OJ into the darkest corner of the house.

3. Remember that gold earring in the shape of the 3 petal flower ….it fell down & you & I spent 2 hrs searching for it under the washbasin & behind the fridge…….

Ummm……I actually lost the earring on my way to school. I was so scared to tell you, so I cooked up a story that it ‘just’ fell down now.

4. Remember those unavoidable, once in a while extra classes which lasted upto 5.30pm, and I came home only by 7pm.

Well, Galaxy(you remember…that movie theater near Corner House) had these afternoon shows which started only at 2.30pm, so……

5. Remember that study trip to a Castor-oil factory in
Kodaikanal …..

Errrr…..there are no castor-oil factories in Kodaikanal.
And those photographs with lots of students, which are there in the album…..that, my friends & I just gathered a random number of people to lend authenticity to our photos.

6. And remember I went to Mysore for a 1 day training when I was working at EDIT

By now u've got the jist.......ok, read the actual version here

P.s - I can tell u some more Mama……………but wanted to leave you with a few illusions.

OK it was fun reading. no.3 reminded me of a similar incident when i was in 2nd grade i think. we found the lost necklace years later hanging from a plant in our farm! gave an equal amount of gold back to the worker who returned it for his honesty. i am sure you don't regret the EDID trip one bit:-)
