gujjanagullu

Though there was only two years difference for each one of us I was the only one who was behaving like a child. Compared to me they were more mature than the difference of just two years.At home I used to prepare gujjanagullu. That means we light fire in a small extent by collecting small sticks and preapre actually rice in very small bowls which are used for playing. My mother used to prepare food on a large scale and beside that I too would play preparing gujjanagullu. Once , my mother was grinding on the stone for preparing kandi patchadi . I requested her that I would do it and she can attend to some other job. She reluctantly gave me permission. No sooner did I start grinding , I could not hold it and it rolled over my little finger of right hand.I started crying and mother came running and took me away from there and solaced me. But the nail came off and it took so many days for the new nail to form. But the beauty of the first nail was lost. New nail was longer and the shape was also not cute.I felt very much .
