Kondapi THulasamma

Name of our attha was Kondapi THulasamma. But we children used to call her Konda Pitthula Semma.She would just laugh. She was jovial and tellus hilarious and mischevous stories. We would start laughing. There was more fun in the way she narrated than the actual story.She had ready wit. Once my father took me to Kalahasthi wher eshe was staying with her friends Subbalakshmamma and SubbaRamaiah. When I wentr there a boy was there. H ewas their relative. One day only two of us were staying at home . Others had gone out side on some work. H etold me to clean the house. I refused to do so. It seems that elders told him to see that the house be swept naetly by the time they returned. I was sitting in the wooden swing and swinging hearing songs in Vividh bharathi and he was sleeping the floor. Exactly at that time, my aunt had come and saw what was happening . Then she told that sweeping was girls duty and I had to do it. But I did not obey her. He was amild boy and I was adament.

Later AFTER SO MANY YEARS , he had an accident. Town bus struck him while he was crossing road to go to college and he died on the spot. I felt sorry for his untimely demise.
