Glass Bangles…….. just happened to dig them out of the bag in which they’ve remained unpacked, ever since we shifted form Mumbai .That was 2 and a half years back, part of the back packing we’ve always had and got used to, in fact enjoyed a lot of times..
Yes the bangles.. Blue and red…. they took me down the memory lane…. Back to our old house in Kizhakkumpattukara, our first own sweet house(which is no more ours),the only place we’ve stayed for 7 years together, where we’ve most of our childhood memories. As I write this, I miss our bedroom there, painted Mauve as per our choice, where we used to arrange Christmas and new year cards during this season on our window…
And these bangles were bought from an old man who used to come there especially during the Onam vacations ,calling out “kuppivala….” And my mother would call him and buy us bangles…. Now it seems like a distant past.
Things I doubt my children will get to see, experience or enjoy….
p.s. for the 1 or 2 readers I’ve got, I hope this one has some improvement…
and due to technical difficulties, wasn’t sure if this baby of mine would get delivered
today…and if it hadn’t, probably it would’ve become a miscarriage

I can see a little bit of nalini miss in that last bit about the baby.
Yes, I see a WHOLE lot of improvement. these are the kind of things I would love to read. This account is very original, short enough to hold the reader's attention.
It's great. I love it.
And now, from the perspective of your sister, who also shared these experiences with you. I totally agree to everything you say.
And I miss Kizhakkumpattukara home a lot.
Sometime we should buy back that house, or better still, build a house that has the exact same blueprint some other place.
i'm so happy..n at the same time sad..
my eyes got welled up.....
Hmmm.. The subject is on my favourite theme. nostalgia- loss- memories- that kind.. and i love it ...
and I too had an old house which we left when i was 9 yrs old.and i always wanted to buy that back , but then the house is no more there.
and if its one or two readers now, i guess its set to grow by leaps and bounds just the way quality has grown.
