Why didn’t the dashing Mr. Kumar greet the glamorous Mrs. Bajaj in front of these people? Weren’t they supposed to be friends? The night before this, weren’t they holding hands and walking around in the deserted park that overlooked the window of my room?
And then her eyes wandered to the stout Mrs. Iyengar, who was being extra sweet to her daughter-in-law Sudha, just as soon as the rest of the ladies joined them. How come? Don’t I overhear her spouting the choicest expletives at poor Sudha accusing her for being a misfortune to their family, every morning when I pass by their kitchen window, en route to school?
Also, why was old Mr. Bisht snapping curtly at his teenage niece Sarika? Didn’t I see him in their balcony this evening, forcing her to sit on his lap much against her will, as he offered her chocolates?
And yet again, why were Mr and Mrs. Kaul being so courteous to their old parents? Did she not see them throw out of their house, the frail couple’s belongings in a fit of rage and ordering them to get out of their house and go find an old age home this very morning?
Strange, how these grownups are….Why can’t they make up their minds for once? Really.
She thought to herself as she let out a confused sigh, shrugged and went on to concentrate on her food instead
He he he he 😀 .. Strange grown ups indeed 🙂 😀
You bet Vinay 😉
The world as seen through the eyes of a child ……. yes very interesting!!! It shows how false so many people are.
Thanks Lisa! Yep, the world is full of those.
Lovely! So thought provoking!
Thanks Reema 🙂
You have conveyed a lot through the eyes of Garima. If only we all choose to go back and see the world through those childhood glasses, a lot of things could be understood better. Hats off for thinking and writing about a different topic each day, Vinodini! It's not something which all are gifted with 🙂
Hey thanks Aathira! Childhood was indeed an innocent experience.
Hahaha, super cute this one 🙂
Thanks Soumya 🙂
Awesome this one is 🙂 Really, why can't these grown ups make up their minds for once 😀
He he…I also wonder why they can't 😉
Thanks embark!
This is reality, Vinodini. People put a mask of their best behaviour in front of outsiders.
Yes Usha ma'am. People do put on masks but kids are sharp in detecting these masks.
O yes, nothing escapes the keen observation of the kids! You may fool the grown-ups but not the kids 🙂 This was quite a creatively written piece, Vinodini.
You bet Beloo! Kids these days are sharper than detectives 😉
Thank you for your kind appreciation.
