“Uncle, where do I have to go to report about child labor?”
Warning: Kids, do not try this at home. You’d probably get a whip on your butt. ;)
P.S. I’ll be moving to Kochi to work on a research project at Cochin University, in about 2 weeks. So I’ll not be visiting this space that frequently thenceforth, and posts will mostly be sporadic. However, I’ll be home once every week, or at least every fortnight - Nah, not because I’ll be nostalgic or dying to see my family but due to the sole reason that I love my washing machine; know what I mean? Hehe, cheers!!

hehe..actually those rules apply at my home too..pakshe njan angane vello reply adichaal i cannot imagine the consequences..;-P
Too cool that kid!! Pinne someone should inform your folks to stop high fiving and doing the hula hula hula at the thought of your imminent departure! :|
12 year old? Seriously?! Impressive. Btw, having done my undergrad by staying at hostel in probably the worst city in terms of climate (Chennai), let me advise you: If you are sufficiently clever and sufficiently NOT squeamish, you can make your clothes last a lot longer. For instance:
1 underwear - 4 days
1 jeans - 1 month
Then if you carry a nice bottle of deo,
1 T-shirt - 2 to 3 days
Am tryin to imagine the look on the uncle's face! :D
Take care and better update whenever its Possible :)
@jane: Yeah ;)
@mathew: Chooral vadiye bhayakkunna Mathai! Achante nottathil viyarkunna Mathai! Mathapithakkalude ponnomana putran Mathai!
@silverine: Why you lousy unsympathetic good-for-nothing bungling bird brain!! I expected something on the lines of "Oh Thoma darling, why hast thou decided to climbeth the mountains and crosseth the rivers and go far away from me! I'll do whatever it takes to please you O my precious heart". And you say such blasphemy! How rude!
@karthik: Well, even while I'm at home, it's like:
* 1 jeans = 1 week
* 3 shirts = alternately use for 2 weeks lest the use of 1 shirt for 3 days, going to same place everyday, might make it obvious that the guy doesn't wash shirt.
* 1 underwear = 1 day; No compromise here for me, but it's not a problem coz I've a stock of about 20 of em. ;)
* And not to forget the handkerchief that will not see water for 3 months ;)
@thoorika: Thanks buddy and you take care too :)
Oh Thoma darling, why hast thou decided to climbeth the mountains and crosseth the rivers and go far away from me! I'll do whatever it takes to please you O my precious heart! *sob*
@Anjali na jolly Philip: That's more I like it. How about an emotional violin tune in the background. And some bottles of glycerine. :P
Aaj kal ke bachche log, hai hai...
Seriously, if I had said something like that to my uncle, my parents would have taken me home that instant and then no one would have heard from me ever again...
