This is an interesting event that took place when I was almost one and half (approx.) years old. My mama (maternal brother) had got married and the things of the new bride fascinated my senses. I :-) well, had a strong sense of curiosity (which I still have..... ). This is again what has been told to me by my mother, elder mama, grandmother(maternal), and by Baba(father). While roaming in the house, I saw some new things of the new bride. What attracted me was the red thing that was kept on the dressing table. Curiosity sake , I looked at it and then put it in mouth to taste it. You know what it was ???? .................................Well..... it was sindoor, which married ladies use. After that, everyone was running about, trying to get a vehicle to take me to the doctor. I was taken somehow to the doctor who had to flush it out of my mouth. As of me, I guess :-) , it must have been a very interesting event 'cause suddenly everyone was busy with me ;-).
I seriously miss the childish pranks........................................................ There are many more incidents like this.
PS. The photo is me almost 11 months old in Lucknow.
