THE MOTHER LIES AND WAITS
For the half-yearly visit like she waits for her full-boiled, her mid-day gruel, her idli-doshas counting time. The daughter arrives with her brood more engrossed in buying chisels for son, continental cards for daughter; she is off to see Doraichamy, Rosy, Vijayan, Gopi and the mother waits. counting time.
