Many a times parents talk of their kids about their activities, their naughtiness. Well,in the same way, for my parents I was like a devil. They used to call me "Devil" for my uncontrollable mischiviousness. Dad used to say " You must have been born as a boy, by mistake you are a girl". Uncle and aunts and my cousins used to say " God knows, how was she in our aunt's (my mom) womb. My aunts used to say " Severin(my mom) was never like that".
Well, what to do, if not Severin, may be John ( my dad).. I think of this now, though my dad never told us about his childhood.
Well, when I was 7 years old, we got the TV in our house. That was the second TV in our whole town. There was a kind of feast in our house, where people from our village gathered to watch TV. Well, this was as usual.
As days passed , my curiosity of functions of Televisions increased. Several questions were rising in my mind as to how does it function? how does the images display? Is somebody inside, the small men and women, animals, what not....
When my parents are away for some time I used to peep inside the small holes to check what is there inside. One day I decided to open the TV, but was waiting for the right opportunity.
I got a chance where my parents were away for a wedding for about 3 hours. I thought its the right time. My two brothers were busily playing outside. I collected the tools to open, after searching for long, I got them. Finally I started playing with screws, by the time I am done with removing them my dad and mom were back. I did not know what to do... I just collected all the screws, wrapped in a paper, hidden in a place.
I acted as if nothing happend at all, and now could not think of what would happen, if my dad comes to know about the screws are missing, and somebody tried opening it.
Again I had to wait for my parents to go out, and that was only possible after 3 days them on sunday going for mass. We all go together but that day I had to escape with a some reason saying that am not well.
Finally that sunday came, where my parents were asking me to get ready to go for mass with them and I was just acting as if my stomach was haiking badly and they believed me because I was the first person to get ready to go to mass every sundays.
So as soon as they left for mass, I came with the tools and bolts to fix them, once it was done, I was so relaxed, decided I will not do any attempt to open the TV again.
Yes, but still was just looking into the holes to see what is there in it, and how does the images appear on the screen. Only I could see is "small glowing light inside".. !!
