The child in me was very happ
y to see it. A fire fly in my bed room ! Ah !I thought about the times we had spent trying to catch them . The monsoon nights . The wet feel. the cry of the frog. the screeching crickets .The pond near to the house glittering like Christmas lights in the night . The calm darkness .
The teenager in me was excited . I thought of ' Njan Gandharvan' . The lover who comes by the night as a fire fly . The sweet fragrance of ezhilam pala !
The mother in me was concerned . Would it go into my kids' ears ? Do they bite ? I will have to check google tomorrow.
After much weighing I decided to hush it out .All this time the fire fly was there . Blinking happily. Content . Not flying.
In the dark I tried to catch it . But couldn't . It was there blinking. I switched on the light ....
It took me some time to realise it was my mobile in some screen save mode that Siva had changed recently.
And no fire flies !
hahahan ... nice one!!!

ReplyDeleteOh so cute!!! Lovely little post. The teenager and mother in you having conflicting interests :-) Very sweet!!!
ReplyDeleteFire flies are one of my all time passions. Even now when I see one I cannot hold hold myself but go on to catch them . The same is with dandelions.
ReplyDeleteDo you know about the movie Njan Gandharvan, Pal ? There are so many sweet memories along with it. :-)
