Kolu scandal

With the recent spate of shifting houses, we lost quite a handful of kolu dolls. One such was Rama. Seetha, Lakshmana and Hanuman remained fit and I saw no reason why they shouldn’t come on stage.

Kutty was mighty perturbed by this Savitha Bhabi-esque state of affairs after one of her friends found out (the rest were too busy  trying to guess the ‘gift’ from the size and shape of the thamboolam cover).

So at the end of Navarathri we hit the market and begged the bommai sellers to give us a solo version of Rama. We did manage to get one but this Rama is a good inch or two shorter than our Seetha. Kutty bristled again.

“If Surya can sing duets with Anushkha, surely this Rama can stand next to our Seetha,” I reasoned out. She’s now okay with the idea.

As they like to say in India Today/Outlook/Week/etc/etc regularly, we Tamilians eat, sleep, vote and convince cinema.
