Last night the phone rang. My daughter took it.
"Give the phone to madam", was the terse instruction she got.
From Keerthana, Anithas daughter. Class 5. Our neighbour.
Keerthana and i have a deal. Every evening she has to go home. Eashwaramma has the keys to our home. Pick up a Telugu story book. read for an hour. Sitting near her mother, stitching busily on her machine.
And after the hour, call her up on her fathers phone and tell me.
I will make a note. And when I go to the village get her a chocolate for each day. If she skips a day, the previous days are all cancelled.
Keerthana keeps her side of the deal If she skips a day she does not object if I cancel all the previous days.
She only made a suggestion. The other day. That instead of chocolates, i can get her a frock instead. We will not work out how many chocolates will be equal to a frock.
Shes very smart. Her Telugu reading speed had however come down. Due to disuse.
So this deal. Deals with Keerthana always hold.
