‘Ammalu what is your problem if me, as an art lover, enjoy the artistic beauty of the straight lines and curves of kolams, while your friends light the Deepavali lamps?’

‘Who is that woman boarding the Volkswagen?’
‘That is not a woman, not even a human. It is a dog. There is no green sari or Volkswagen there. The pet puppy is entering an auto ricksha with a red color body frame’
‘Auto rickshaw in America?’
‘We are not in America. We are in Hyderabad’

‘I’m not Ammalu. I’m her mother’
‘OMG. No wonder why I was blabbering!’
