This evening Fr KT distributed clothes to the elderly people of the locality - an annual feature around Christmas time. Only the number of recipients keeps increasing in leaps and bounds every year. Well it is something for those people. So to show that they really deserve these clothes (a plain saree for the ladies and a pancha and towel for the menfolk) they'd come with the worst set of clothes. After the distribution, there was another batch ready... within minutes! Fr KT was at a loss as to whom to give and whom to refuse.... till he had a brainwave... he chose the most deserving through a simple test: only those without teeth!!
However our non-resident Simhadramma is perhaps the best among all of these! She came with just two old ragged towels wrapped around herself!! And one should watch her when she comes demanding for a blanket. She shivers like a leaf even if the rest of us are sweating it out and fanning ourselves. If ever I were to be a film director, she'd be my first choice for the role of heroine, straight away ... no audition! And it would be a film without a hero!
That's her, breaking into an extemporare song in praise of her 'boyfriend'... Fr KT!!
