A mint for chocolate

The other day when I accompanied my mother to the departmental store for grocery, I heard a mother reprimand her kids, “You can choose any other chocolate but a Cadbury,” she kept saying.
Soon, the lady thrust a packet of a mint in each of her children’s hand. The little moppets accepted the gift, albeit, a tad sorrowfully.
Naturally! I mean if one is forced to have peppermints when one is longing for chocolates, this could be the only reaction.
It’s been four years since the worms were found in the chocolates but looks like discerning mothers still prefer to exercise that element of caution.

Evdhasa abhal

Some movies just touch a chord somewhere deep within. The Marathi movie Evadhasa Abhal (A small sky) is one of them.
A poignant tale, the movie portrays the trauma of an 11-year-old made to choose between the two people he loves the most in the world. Evdhasa is a beautiful comment on the quandary that the parents’ divorce puts a child into.
A must-watch, I’d say.
