Recently, due to certain unforeseen circumstances, on reaching home from office, i`m sometimes delegated to help my nephew with his alphabet homework's...
By the time he finishes the 15 or 20 reps of one alphabet, i will be seriously wondering whether or not to marry...hey, little alen is a cool chap and has a creative grasping power at this tender age of 3.5, but he uses this skill to expose all my weaknesses and has developed impossible schemes to test my patience ...
Today was 'C' - i used my latest working tactic of making a serious dumbfounded face and asking repeatedly "monu C ezhuthan ariyilla???" and the ordeal got over fast...hehe play with his pride ;) ..nammude adutha avante kali?..hmm...
I was relieved and returned back to my new found interest in Malayalam blogs - especially the classic funny blogs like thamanu, kodakarapuranam etc.
As an experienced uncle, I cannot ignore the activities happening behind me for long, and alen announced : "monu cookingaa" - i agreed...and continued reading karyamnissaram. Though i was busy, i noticed him shuttling to and fro from the kitchen...(this usually means trouble) and moreover the cooking was happening 'behind' me...out of instinct i did one random check : he had smuggled a plate full of tea powder and had poured water into it...announcement : "monu tee-undakkuva"

i took an evidence photograph in my cell and immediately made a distress call to chechi who was peacefully preparing the dinner. commotion : chechi runs from kitchen - surveys damage & gives few instructions in dramatic tones and returns.
in less than 3 minutes i heard some subtle splashing sound and it was one of the cutest stuff i had seen ...he was carefully balancing a plate full of brown coloured gooey liquid inching towards me......!!!!
kudos to my 6th sense - but the floor was a mess in a matter of micro seconds...
