Story: Glass Banana
I usually do the market. Yet Ginni (Wife) doesn't like ,so sometimes she rides on the back of the scooter. I myself know how much I am a seasoned marketing man because I am buying potatoes ,parwal, ladies finger etc from that class 4-5. But it didn't seem like a smart thing to mention because I still haven't memorized how to bring the pumpkin with the puin shak ( malabar spinach) ,from so many years I am purchasing cucumber but bring always old , so nowadays Ginni uses son sometimes for marketing of one two items from nearest vegetable shop and thinks that the boy is better learned marketing than me because he brings exactly as mother says.
The boy is in class eight, I said one day, when 'Veeru' has learned to market so well, why are you not sending him to main market, now is his holiday.
So today Ginny tells the boy (Veeru, our son) to write down what things to bring. With happiness boy says -
give me your mobile phone mom , I am noting down . After receiving the phone , say with a smile on face tell mom .
Mom- Potato, Papaya, Onion-----
The boy writes on the mobile phone and go out.
At that time, Ginny said loudly , Listen, listen write one more, if you find take two kanch kala ( green banana )
After about an hour, market arrived. As Ginny poured out of the bag to wash it, there was a cracking sound, Voice of Wife also heard - What Veeru, you have brought it wrapped in paper? It seems broken. The boy said Kanchkala ( glass banana) .
Taking on palm Ginny asked where did you get it? The boy said - right in front of entering the market. Who said to bring it? Son: why you the one who said when I was going out - If you find take two Kanchkala. Ginny: Oh my forehead!
I remembered yesterday evening he was reading in the geography book that glass bangles are famous in Firozabad, apart from that, glass idols, vegetables , fruits like mangoes and bananas etc are also available to decorate the house.
It seems that the grammar was also read, but then I got a little sleepy ,
Dasa ( condition) with ten = Dasasai (tall and bulkey) , bride with groom = bridegroom, mango with jaggery= jaggery mango,
Shak diye toiri ghanto ( minced and spiced dish with vegetable leaf )
= shak ghanto ( leafy dish) , Banana made of from glass = Glass Banana ( Kanch kala - actually green Banana) -
