Preschool Shahin Niketan (Somajiguda) was at a walking distance from Kanti Shikara, Punjagutta.
I preferred walking to my school and back instead of using a car. This way people saw me, wondered who I was and sometimes stopped to ask…it was good advertisement for my school!
I loved dressing up smartly, and from behind it is rather difficult to judge the person’s age. Once when returning home from school, walking on the footpath, I sensed a car following me in slow motion.
I got angry, and upset, but did not turn back or stop. I thought to myself that I would give a good hearing after reaching home. ( every dog feels brave in his own territory!)
Reaching my gate, I stopped and turned back to see a handsome dude in a red Maruti!
I stood in front of the car and shouted,
“Sharam nahi ati main teri Dadi Jaisi hoon "
(Aren’t you ashamed I am like your grandmother.)
He smiled and said
“Well I was looking out for someone for my handsome dada!” (grandfather)
This left me speechless.
