anna to uncle

I type this post after going through the biggest ordeal of my life. It all started after I started from college this afternoon. After finishing some work which my dad had given, I started home with my bag. I reached the railway station and walked back home. I was in my own thoughts while walking back home. I saw a couple of children playing street cricket from a distance and was walking towards them to cross them. Recollecting how I had broken the glasses near my house and ran into the house when I were like them and also remembering my friend Hari who did the same even a few months back after breaking a window, I walked towards them. I waited for them to bowl a ball. I thought myself to be a Samaritan and was seeing them. The batter was out and the other boy did not accept. Then this wicked thing happened. I should not have stood there. Of course, I do not blame them. The boy who was claimed out called out, "uncle, neenga kooda paathinga illa? naan out a?"(uncle, even you saw, am I out?)

They say, "kuzhandaiyum Dheivamum onnu"(child is equivalent to god)
For the first time in my life I missed Hari. If he was with me, they would have called him so, and spared me.
