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
