Kts B'day

Today was Kt's B'day!
He had come specially dressed in an Indian brocade Sherwani suit which his father requested that we change after the party was over so that it didn't get spoilt and dirty.

Kt was a child in our group last year together with Ml; both of them were South Indian, both spoke the same language and their families were great friends too. So they created such a chaos in school that it was impossible to control them, especially Kt who is an extremely active, loud, uncontrollable and mischievous boy. So As decided to separate them and threw Kt in the baby group while Ml remained with us.
 It was very unfair for Kt as he was of the right age to be with us and if he had been with us he could have learnt a great deal more than of course in the baby group.When Kt's mother was informed of the decision she was quite angry but couldn't do anything about it.

Now after spending an almost useless one year in the baby group, Kt got promoted to our group.
His mother is notorious in the whole school for being ghastly unsocial. Forget about speaking, she never even smiles at anyone in the school; she just throws Kt in through the classroom door without a customary polite 'Good Morning' or 'Hello' to the teachers, without even waving a 'Bye' to Kt, she just turns her back sharply like a sword and goes away.
Usually I keep bumping into her at the station or in the school way and a few times even in the train but she just avoids talking. Once I remember, we were coming from opposite directions; she glimpsed me from a distance and changed the side of the road conveniently so that she could avoid me entirely..!

Her husband is very nice though. He talks pleasantly and has no problems in any discussions.

According to the new policy formulated by Stf any child in our class who turns three, will have to be promoted to the next group to create a vacancy for a new admission. So Kt who has turned three today will be in next group from next week onward.

Yesterday we broke this news to Kt's father. He was surprised and then immediately a bit suspicious...
"Why? Has he done something wrong that he is being given another group?"
This question made us burst out laughing.
"No, no no, not at all, not at all." We laughed. "He is being promoted to the other group because he is three years old now and fully developed to be in the next group."

Kt has been only about 2 weeks with us and I can clearly say that his parents were happy with us because we talked and discussed Kt regularly with them, something which was never done with them the whole last year, and his mother has even started smiling amiably at me as best as she is capable of. I am sure they must be happy now to learn that he is going to a bigger group.
