This happened in a crowded bus, one day evening when I was going to my house in Pettah from palayam

: Entha thirakku bus-il, e school pillerurde bag aanu ettavum prashnam.Paavangal kuranjathu 10kg engillum varum :

“Ho kutta,idikatheda, payye po”
: Ivide ninnal ivanmarude idi kondu chaakum,othungikalayaam. :

School kaalam orma vannu,ho nostalgia

: Appazha 1 kaaryam orthathu, aa conductor 2 roopa backi tharaan undallo. E thirakinidayilenganeya vaangunne? Ayyalevide? Mm..? kaanunnillaolo, pillerude chavittu kondu purathu therichu poyo? :
