CORRIANDER III---WHAT IF?

WHAT IF our mother's prayer had not fructified in the form of Jayalogam lottery prize? Well, Jaya also would have been a burden on  Raj. By 1960 or so, the Madras branch of the family would have been wound up and  moved to be tenant of some pahadi in Netaji Nagar. He would have got Kamala married(to the same his name- sake and my D O B +10yrs). He himself would be a  bachelor for life.,No match will materialize for this  vadama boy with such long appendages  with an uncaring elder brother and a wayward younger brother ,to boot. Mother will soothsay." Vichha veettu Mani is also a bachelor and is a great man of Thomas-Cook". Raj, as it happens in such circumstances, would have fallen back on religion and instead of singing paeans to GOI, he would  be singing Thyagaraja Kritis.  He might have abominable abdominal problems, with three or four women cooking for him with lot of love and tender care.(as I did have in Green Park, with so many were in the same enterprise minus the additives)
