The Beginning of the Stories
Summer holidays! Ajji smiled to herself as she waited for two more of her
grandchildren to arrive. Raghu and Meenu would be here soon. Anand and
Krishna had already arrived with their mother the previous evening. They
had been waiting restlessly for their cousins to arrive ever since. Even
though Ajji told them Raghu and Meenu would be here the next morning,
these two kids just would not listen. They went to the railway station with
their grandfather, Ajja, to receive them. The train must have pulled into the
tiny railway station of Shiggaon by now, and their grandfather would have
hired a taxi to bring them home along with their mother and the stacks of
luggage.
Ajji hurried through her bath. She had finished cooking their favourite
dishes, and was now wearing a nice, soft cotton sari before going to the
veranda to wait for them.
There! There they came! What a noise the children were making! They
all nearly tumbled out of the car and came leaping and shouting to her, each
wanting to be the first to be hugged by her. Each one wanted to be closest to
Ajji.
Soon the children settled down. A visit to Ajji and Ajja’s house meant
first inspecting the garden to see how much the plants had grown since they
last came. Then they went to check on the cows, calves, dog, pups, cats and
kittens. Then they all ate huge quantities of Ajji’s delicious food. Finally,
while their mothers went off to chat and rest, the children gathered around
their grandmother for the best part of the holidays—listening to her
wonderful stories, particularly in the late afternoon.
Let us, too, gather under the fast revolving fan, on a mat on the floor,
fighting to be nearest to her, and listen in.
