This story had happened two months back.....I was sitting and preparing a report.Time was around 11 pm...Niladri was helping Lalith to sleep....But the kid was not in the mood to sleep....

" Lalith..u r playing with my patience" Nila tried to display her anger....

" Mom....Can you please answer to my querry" Son asked politely....

" Ask me fast".....She became very much irritant.

" Mom....I think I have grown up to get married" son brizzled

She stared at son.....

" mom....can I tell you about the venue?"

" Marriage...at the age of 7??..ookey...tell me the venue"

" At our Ganapathy temple..is it ookey mom...?"

" But Son, do u remb that we had attended a marriage in a big airconditioned hall last month?"

" Ya mom"

" That can accomodate more number of people".....

" OOkey mom...I accept the change in venue but give me a promise"...

" what promise man?"

" mom....I need two extra invitation cards...."

" For whom?"

" One for Mickey mouse and the other for Donald Duck...and I want both of them near me when I tie the knot"....

I stared at Niladri......but Lalith continued to ponder...........
