Fragments of life...

Kunkumapoov v/s Harry Potter…??

Well, this is about an incident that happened today. My mom and dad are both working. Since I am having vacations now I’d be alone at home with my granny from 10a.m to 4p.m. Since ‘m alone at home most of the time I engage myself with tv or computers or books.

Now my granny never misses out an episode of ‘kunkumapoov’.( for those of you who doesn’t know kunkumapoov is a Malayalam teleserial which would now reach the 2000th episode or something.)

Everyday when it’s the time for ‘kunkumapoov’ I take my bath, that’s the general arrangement between us. It so happened that today at that same time they were showing harry potter in HBO. I, being a hardcore HP fan had no intention of missing out even a single scene. But exactly at 1, when I saw my granny climbing the stairs to watch the serial,  I went for bath thinking it’s the only entertainment my granny gets. In my mind I kept praising myself what a wonderful girl I am ..sacrificing HP for a local Kunkumapoov..!! I took my time bathing and got out  after half an hour.


I knew by this time my movie would have reached its climax and I would still get to see the last 10 minutes of the movie. So I went upstairs to watch tv and found granny still sitting there. I asked her “your programme should be over by now, right..?” and I couldn’t believe myself when she said “oh no dear, the serial started at 1:15 today... It has just begun!!” J J
