"Amme, amme! look here, listen to me," he tries to drown the voice of Vaava on the extension phone. She asks me in English: Amma, how are you? ... Listen to me. The teacher-aunty has been imparting to her a few conversational skills in English.
Ash doesnt get round to his questions. I hear only his excited Amma calls. A stream of pleas and demands and suggestions follow.
- Please get a chalk (Lakshman rekha) to kill the ants when u come.
- Please buy a battery for the computer upstairs. They dont have a battery or CDs.
- Appacha doesnt switch on the AC in the hall.
- My legs are aching.
- Please get me the big aeroplane you promised.
- The appacha upstairs has asked me to study in Madras, not here.
- I need my cars and teddy bears and ball to play. There is nothing here.
- Please come in June when the school opens to take me home.
- Amma, where are u standing now?
etc. etc.
Both were clamouring to go with my parents who came down on Sunday to see them. "We have had enough of Chry, now we want to go to Chply," they told them. But Ashwin's present treatment and care requires him to stay on at the paternal family home. He wants to play with his train set while Mira wants to see Bruno the lab at Chply.

Yes, it will be hard for him. Whichis why we are keeping the two at one place though it is hard for those looking after. The initial plan was to have M at Chply. But i think both are able to endure the separation from us only becoz they are together. They are now waiting for me to come and take them to Chply.
