Paddu Athimber by Nandini Ramachandran

Paddu Athimber,as he was called by everyone, as Periamma was AKKA to the whole lot of siblings.His memory was remarkable and he would remember little details and instances: Siddharth is a chip of the old block.

He would remember things that we had done when we were kids and the first sentence that he would utter the minute he saw us was the same even years later.For example when he saw me it would be-Nandini do u still run after and catch butterflies! Imagine being asked this when you are eighteen.And this would be asked with a naughty gleam in his eye! For Mathangi it would be-DO you still drink soda (she loves soda even as a kid, most kids would dislike it)and for Ramachandran it would be-Do you still eat parrot curry.When he was 3 years old he had said parrot instead of carrot!Interesting isnt it.
