“I was twelve years old, when I met Nandini for the first time.
We were in Pazhaiarai then and I was playing with my sister and brother near
the lake. We heard our Periya Patti
Sembiyanmadevi calling us. We went to the kodi
veedu and told her about how we went boating on the lake. She was not
alone. There were three other people along with her and one of them was a girl
who was about my age. Other two people were her parents. When we entered, they
stopped talking and looked at us. I still remember her beautiful eyes, widened
in surprise when she looked at us,”
Saying thus, Karikalan looked up the sky. A few clouds dotted
the midnight blue stars but his thoughts were somewhere in the past. Did he
perchance see the face of the twelve-year-old Nandini out there? We do not know
