Hangi - Kathir’’s alien friend

Kathir, Keya and Parth with Hangi

Hangi is Kathir’s friend. He is an old friend of Kathir. When Kathir was in nursery, Hangi used to visit him. He used to live under the sewing machine table.

This is story of Hangi as narrated by Kathir.

Hangi is just like God but he is not God. He is Kathir’s friend. Hangi brings newspapers for me. The newspapers have some coins hidden inside them. The coins are Hong Kong dollars. Hangi makes Legos with Kathir and Parth. Sometimes, he sleeps with Kathir. Hangi’s favorite fruit is apple. Everyday, he makes apple juice for Kathir after he got up from his nap. He used to pluck mangos from very high mango trees. Hangi traveled on his space ship. It looks like this - (drawn on the balcony wall). He takes his space ship to he highest branch of the mango tree and pluck mangos.

Hangi took Kathir to space. Kathir used to take one apple everyday from Hangi. When Kathir was away, Gudiya always cried at home - Kathir chahiye, Kathir chahiye... When Kathir came back, Gudiya would stop crying but didnt want Kathir! And Kathir used to shout - Masi, can I got to Parths house. And masi said Yes. And Kathir ran to Parths house. Hangi came to Parths balcony  and parth opened the door. Hangi asked - Who are you? Kathir - He is my friend.
Hangi  Do you want to visit Jupiter?
We - No
Hangi - Do you want to visit Europe?
We - We said yes. We then went to Europe, bought some things and returned to Hyderabad. They landed on Kathirs balcony. They said Bye Bye to Hangi.

These days Hangi is traveling to Mars to visit his Mamma. He wanted to meet his Mamma. When Kathir went to school, Hangi would stay near his class window waiting for him. Hangi speaks to Kathir in Hindi.

The Naughty Keya - 2

Yesterday, Ripul and I came home to stunned silence. Saraswati (kids' nanny) wore a shocked look! She made things even more mysterious by saying, "This is the first for me in my life so far, not sure if this is the first for you as well!" I was expecting something bad!!

Keya, the tukdi (according to Dharuni), all of 3, had a fight with her teacher!! This is how the story goes. She wore lehenga-chunni to school. She refused to pin down her chunni (dupatta) and she also wore a toy watch and some bangles. Apparently, these were distracting her and the class so the teacher asked her to put them in her bag. And little Keya refused to comply!
Teacher, "Put them inside the bag."
Keya, "No I will not. Dupatta should be worn with lehenga, so I will wear it.
Teacher, "Keep the watch inside.
Keya, "No. I like wearing it."
Teacher, "I will complain to your mother that you are not listening to me."
Keya, "I will complain to my mother that you are scaring me."
Teacher, "You are making me angry!"
Keya, "I can also be angry. I am a strong girl." (and shows her muscles!)

Apparently, the teacher didn't find this funny and narrated it pretty seriously to the nanny. The other parents of course had a hearty laugh! I had a chat with Keya in the night. I told her to listen to her teacher and be polite. She nodded vigorously to all that I asked her to.

So to test her understanding, I asked, "If the teacher asks you to put the dupatta inside your bag, what will you do?" Keya,"I will keep wearing it!"

Naughty Gudiya

This is Kathir's story about Gudiya.

Gudiya came from Santa. Santa sent Gudiya to Mamma and said "Kathir is the best boy to take care of Gudiya." Gudiya loves Kathir. But Gudiya is very naughty. She hits Kathir a lot. When Gudiya hits Kathir, mamma makes Gudiya sit on a stool in the bathroom. Then Gudiya cries waaai...waaai....!!!! Mamma tells Gudiya not to cry. But Gudiya does not listen to Mamma. She runs out of the bathroom and Mamma catches Gudiya and again makes her sit inside the bathroom on the stool. Gudiya cries waaai..waaai!!! Mamma tells no crying and Gudiya says "Points cut!" Kathir tells, "Gudiya, be a good girl, then we will not make you sit in the bathroom."
Gudiya changes her clothes every minute. When she goes out, she changes her dress again! And when she goes to a party, over there she doesn't wear her rubber bands. clips and necklace! Then when she reaches home, again she changes! What a naughty girl she is!!

Gudiya is a good girl!
Gudiya brushes her teeth every morning and night. After she brushes her teeth in the morning, she eats her breakfast. And after she eats her breakfast, she goes and plays with Kathir. Then it becomes 9 o'clock. Then Parth wakes up. And Kathir and Gudiya rush to Parth's house to play. Then Parth tells, "Mamma, Kathir and Gudiya have come, please open the door." Parth's mother says, "climb up and open the door!"And then, Kathir calls Parth in his house. When Gudiya wears her baniyan and chaddi and walks, I like that the most. Gudiya always shares. Whenever she gets a chocolate, she first asks one for Kathir.
