Red Riding Hood Biji
Ma Meriiwas stepping down for the Mgmt Committee meeting in the apartment office.
All red hood jacketed ..when I called out to her -
‘Aise kaise jaa rahey ho!? Cap daalo under the hood!! Thandd lagg jaani hai ..’
She - ‘Arre ..koi zaroorat nahin ..’
..and then seeing my glare ..concedes - ‘..theek hai ..’
I pull down the hood, pull on the cap on her head and pull back the hood back on.
She waddles towards the steps, when I call out again - ‘Ruko ..!’
‘Lipstick nahin lagaayee !!???’
She bristles - ‘Management Committee di meeting te lipstick lagaa ke jaani zaroori hai ..??’
And then seeing my glare again, concedes - ‘..theek hai ..’
She waddles back to her room for the smear.
Here she is now ..capped, hooded n lipstick-ed ..waddling out again ..muttering under her breath ..
‘Ainey pher awaaz maar deni hai ..’
Ainj hi hai, mom.
