  • Age Seven: A Festive Frolic, Castor Oil Conundrum, and aTumble-Phobia Tale

    Amidst the luminous chaos of Deepavali in Raichur, where the air was thick with the scent of crackling fireworks and the promise of sugar-induced bliss, an eccentric family tradition emerged. Gathered in the hall like contestants on a whimsical game show, we, the unsuspecting kids, were subjected to a ceremonial head massage marathon orchestrated by none other than my great grandma. A small bowl of castor oil became her tool of choice, and, alas, I had the dubious honor of being the inaugural castor oil canvas.

    Post this oily anointing, our feet became works of art, adorned with turmeric paste resembling a peculiar shade of sallow. Basking in the sun for an agonizing half-hour, we resembled a miniature troupe of turmeric-tinted sun-worshippers. The aftermath? A mad dash to the lone bathroom, where, armed with the swiftness of a swallow, I outpaced my bewildered cousins in the quest for post-sun-soaking cleanliness.

    Emerging from this post-castor oil chic ordeal, we adorned ourselves in new attire and paraded through the household like royalty – not out of bumptiousness but a delightful surrender to the regal essence of post-castor oil elegance. The reward for enduring this peculiar pre-festival ritual? The joyous symphony of bursting crackers and a grand feast of sweets fit for jubilant kings and queens.

    As the evening descended, a pilgrimage to the hilltop temple awaited, where the setting sun painted a mesmerizing canvas between twin peaks. A sight so picturesque that even the most seasoned artists would envy its capture. For me, it was a Kodak moment, albeit one that my seven-year-old self failed to comprehend.

    Amidst the divine embrace of the temple, where prayers echoed, lamps flickered, bells resonated, and prasadam disappeared like fleeting dreams, a daunting journey downhill awaited. Darkness descended, and the specter of the nursery rhyme ‘Jack and Jill’ haunted my hesitant footsteps. Fearful of a Jack-like tumble, I clung to my dad’s hand as a lifeline.

    Concerned about my nocturnal navigations, my dad, the worried parent, promptly scheduled an eye checkup. The ophthalmologist’s diagnosis unveiled a deficiency in the vitamin A department, prompting a routine of vitamin A pills. Naively, I embraced the belief that these pills held the magical cure, akin to antibiotics vanquishing a virus.

    However, the plot twist awaited – Retinitis Pigmentosa. Mom, troubled by the doctor’s solemn prognosis, fretted about my future. Yet, in my blissfully ignorant seven-year-old world, the gravity of the situation eluded me, leaving the readers to unravel the conclusions of this peculiar chapter in the grand tapestry of my life. 🌟🕶️🚀

  • Tricycle Tango: An Epic Ballet of Mischief Unleashed

    In the delightful aftermath of my escapades with the metallic beast, a newfound sense of gravity struck me like a lightning bolt as I hopped back on my trusty tricycle, armed with the audacity to channel my inner dirt biker and embark on a grandiose performance of two-wheeled stunts on three wheels.

    Picture this chaotic symphony: a corridor stretching into eternity, my pint-sized self transformed into a miniature Evel Knievel, orchestrating a cacophony of laughter and gasps. My unsuspecting grandmother, an unwitting audience member engrossed in the delicate art of rice-cleaning and stone-picking, became the unwitting star of my spontaneous tricycle ballet.

    With the finesse of a mischievous maestro, I’d kick off the performance, hurtling down the corridor like a bullet train of glee. As I approached my unsuspecting grandmother, engrossed in the tranquility of her task, I’d rev up the tricycle’s imaginary engine, sending her heart into an impromptu drum solo. The grand finale? Slamming the brakes with a theatrical screech, bringing my tricycle to a halt mere inches from her rice sanctuary.

    In my oblivious pubescent bliss, these stunts were executed with the innocence of a playground daredevil, blissfully ignorant of the impending consequences. Now, as I stroll down memory lane, there’s a twinge of remorse for the unwitting havoc wreaked during my tricycle escapades. Oh, the mischievous follies of youth, where a tricycle became the chariot of chaos, leaving a trail of laughter and perhaps a gasp or two.

    As Oscar Wilde sagely quipped, “The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.” Little did my tricycle-riding self know that yielding to the temptation of mischief would become the cornerstone of tales regaled with laughter, peppered with the echoes of Grandma’s theatrical gasps and my pint-sized exploits. Life, indeed, is an unexpected ballet, and my tricycle was the waltzing partner in this whimsical tango of tykeship. 🚴‍♂️💫😄

  • Tyke’s Triumph: A Haphazard Hijink in the Workshop Wonderland

    Amidst the hustle in the workshop, where the air buzzed with bus-building fervor, imagine this pint-sized protagonist – me, all of four, brimming with the audacity of a mischief maestro. Picture the scene: I wiggled my way into a military jeep, my hands barely reaching the steering wheel, and with a mischievous grin, I cranked the engine to life. The metallic beast jerked into action, propelling towards the main road, while I, the daft daredevil, reveled in the glory of my unintentional joyride.

    Little did I know, danger lurked around the corner, and approaching vehicles were closing in like unwelcome party crashers. Oblivious to the impending chaos, I played the role of a miniature conqueror, intoxicated by the thrill of momentarily taming the roaring metal monster, completely unaware of the plot twist fate had in store.

    Suddenly, my dad, the unsung hero of the workshop saga, abandoned his bus-building duties, leapt into action, and halted the rollicking jeep with a swift maneuver. But oh, the consequence! A thunderous whack descended upon me, threatening to launch me into the workshop stratosphere. My lungs, akin to an opera singer hitting the highest note, unleashed a symphony of tears, rivalling the force of Niagara Falls.

    Enter my cousin sister, my unsung savior from the impending doom of paternal punishment. She whisked me away to the kitchen, a sanctuary for the tiny troublemaker, where a strategic deployment of sugar became my diversionary tactic. Ah, the sweetness that saved the day!

    Now, as I reflect on the perilous possibilities that could have unfolded, I shudder at the brink of absurdity. Admittedly, my dad’s swift discipline was justified in the face of pandemonium. But let this tale serve as a testament to the whimsical wonders of childhood mischief – where a daft prank can transform a mundane workshop into a chaotic carnival of unintended adventures! 🚗🎢😄

  • Rajju’s Marathon: A Stitch in Time Saves a Sprinter’s Rhyme

    At the tender age of 6, in the grand spectacle of my uncle’s wedding, a family gathering turned into a chaotic sprint saga. Picture this: my start was so swift, it rivaled the initial thrust of a Yamaha roadrunner on turbo mode.

    But hold onto your laughter, for here comes the plot twist. A cunning cousin, armed with a sparkling idea, decided to catch my shirt mid-race. Using every ounce of muscle and strength, he pulled with such force that, in my attempt to escape, I jerked my shoulders. In the blink of an eye, I found myself crashing down, landing on the sharp fringe of a bench with a sound that echoed louder than my initial sprint.

    Ouch! The pain and dizziness hit me like a punchline, leaving me as stiff as a log – or perhaps a plank of wood. All I could feel was a hot, wet, sticky substance flowing down the side of my face. Silence fell upon us, my face painted with blood, a gruesome exhibit showcasing a portion of my skull.

    Fast forward to the aftermath – I was whisked away to the clinic in the same metallic beast I had attempted to maneuver. Seven stitches later, my open gash was patched up, resembling a Frankenstein experiment gone wrong.

    Now, in the post-stitch era, the mere thought of running sent shivers down my spine for years. It took a whopping 22 years for me to summon the courage to overcome my running fear. And when I did, it was a comeback story that would make Forrest Gump proud. Alongside a brave colleague, we entered a mini marathon, fully expecting to trot, saunter, amble, and perhaps crawl – but surprise, we ended up in the top 20, leaving both of us astonished and the bench long forgotten in my rearview mirror. 🏃‍♂️🎉😄
