The conversation started with how mama garu used to pass sarcastic comments for some misses from ma's side. Like - he always wanted to have a glass of water next to him while having meals. And knowing ma, she would have hardly missed it. But if she will miss it, the comment from mama garu will "Kaapraniki vachina appatti nunchi chustunnaanu ..you dont put water when food is served!!". :)
It will be very easy to know that taata-gaaru is watching news on tv even if you are in other room, because he will be grinding his teeth and banging the table with his fist and grumbling over the subject. :-) Ma says that what is the point in breaking ones hand over such matters when no one is around to hear :) .
She mentioned that how all the babais were good at making funny comments and keeping interesting names for people. This one really made me laugh so hard that I got tears in my eyes :). It seems there used to be a fat lady around our house in Kavali, she was stout. She was so bulky that one couldn't even see her neck, and obviously thats how babais came up with a name "Neck-less". Poor lady wouldn't have ever come to know what they really meant :)
Gopal babai is handsome-"est" man of the family, other babais had given him names like "Andhagaadu" & "Shoku-purshu". I need not explain why those names! It seems he used to take good amount of time for his beauty baths & some times will make taata garu also to wait in the queue, obviously this wont stop him from saying "Jalakalaata..chaalu...come out!!"
I would say the baton has been passed from one generation to other successfully, but the I guess it is getting mellowed down as it goes to the next generation. Krups gets irritated at people who drive recklessly on the roads and he calls all of them as "Peanut brains" :) But it still doesn't beat tata-garu!! :)
