I entered home listening pandus’ talk in Tushi’s room. What I could see is a dark bush talking to Babes. Babes introduced that ‘new face’ to me as Disney. She turned and blinked at me followed by a smile. I was wondering what she was doing there. Babes explained that this Disney was her junior in her college and gonna move in here at Dadi castle with us in two days. I said ok. I was more interested in the way she talks- typical Kannur (a district in Kerala) dialect. I know most of the Malayalam dialects but this was the first time I heard someone speaking English and Hindi in Kannur style. She always made it a point to murder both the languages in each and every sentence.Both of them (Disney and Babes) were ruminating their bygone days of their college. Disney proved her deep knowledge in Malyalam language using the most abusive words for addressing those boys who studied with them. In between she was looking at me and trying to smile. Though she did not seem much interested in me, she extended her hand to me before leaving. I shook it and squeezed it a bit hard, I could see the smile on her face fading away. Poor thing!! “so you are coming in here, right?” I asked her. She was doubtful and said softly “hmmm”. I can never forget the look on her face!! He he :D
