The Bandaged Cameraman

Dear Sakkti Velan,


You're smart enought to ask for the camera now, and you can actually take some shots. We need to work on your focus, though, son, it seems a bit off. Either way, you make me proud, Small Tiger, you know that. Don't fight with you Amma and tell her that, "Sekala, po," I know you don't want to be friends with her because she wouldn't give you the camera, but I think she's just worried that you might drop it.


You're also using our "handphone" quite well, making imaginary calls to me and you Amma and whoever it is that you keep asking, "engge irukke?"


But why the bandage? Are you really having the aches in your legs and hands as you claim, or do you just like the fact that your Amma patiently bandages any part that seems to be "aching"


Well, I guess you're growing up, Small tiger.Stay you.


Love always,
Big Lion

Sweets, Ice cream, butter and cheese

I just love ice-cream and sweets.

SO when Amma's leaves to work, I always ORDER for sweets to be bought back. If I forget to tell her when she leaves, I'll run out to the gate to remind her about buying me the ice cream. If Amma doesn't buy me sweets, she'll buy me ice cream. MMMMmmmmm......yummy

Amma asked to log down that at the moment, my list of likes has increased to eating butter from the tub, eating peanut butter, eating cheese and drinking Vitagen. Mina patti always scolds me for being picky about my food, it seems Thambi eats everything.

That's why he ate the paint on the grill and fell sick for a whole week.

If you ask me, better be picky than sorry. Ahem.
