( Grandma has just returned tired from the cinema, after watching "Padmavat" for nearly 3 hrs.. Baby and Bablookutty rush to her)
Babloo: Grandma , you promised to tell me the story of the movie, when you come back..
Baby: Yes..grandma..
G'ma: Shh..kutties.. I have just returned and I have not had my coffee yet..
Babloo: Didn't you drink coffee in the theater?
G'ma: No.. let me relax for a while.. I will tell you the story when you go to bed..
Babloo: Okay.. But we are going to bed now..
G'ma: No kutty.. It is not bed time yet..
Baby: Okay.. We'll wait..Does the story have a happy ending?
G'ma: mmm...no...
Babloo: Is there a prince in the story?
Baby: Is there a princess?
Babloo: Does the king go to war like Jalal uncle?
G'ma: Oh my God! so many questions! Wait until I come and tell you the full story..
Babloo: Okay.. just tell me only one thing.. What is Padmavath?
Baby: You silly boy.. It is a name of a girl.. There is a girl in my class called Padmavathi..
Babloo: But this is not Padmavathi.. It is Padmavath..It is a 'felling' mistake..
G'ma: Padmavathi is the name of the girl..
Baby: See.. I told you..
Babloo: Is there no boy in the story?
G'ma: Yes.. there are two boys..
Babloo: Haiya.. two boys..But why is this called only by the girl's name when there are two boys?
Baby: Are the boys good ?
Babloo: Baby'kka.. boys are always good.. Look at Jalal uncle.. He is a boy.. and he is good.. Look at me.. I am good..
Baby: Tell me grandma, are there no bad guys in the picture?
G'ma: One is a bad guy..Very bad guy..
Babloo: Grandma..I tell you.. the good guy is the hero..
G'ma: No.. the bad guy is the hero..
Baby: WHAT? How can the bad guy be hero?
Babloo: Did you see the picher prop'ly?
G'ma: Yes.. I saw the picture from the beginning till the end...😉 The bad guy is the hero..
Baby: Is it a King and Queen story?
G'ma: Yes..
Babloo: Then it is a fairy tale story..
G'ma: No.. It is not fairy tale.. It is historical..
Babloo: Baby'kka.. grandma says big words..What is its meaning..?
Baby: I don't know..I will see the big book Sandhya akka gave me..
Babloo: Or shall I ask Shyamala aunty?
G'ma: See kutties.. The difference between fairy tale and history is that the fairy tales are not true. But history is true..
Baby: So this Padmavath is a true story..
Babloo: See 'kka... that's why the story doesn't have a happy ending, because they didn't live happily ever after..
Baby: Then what happened?
G'ma: The bad king attacked the fort of the good king..
Baby: Why?
G'ma: Because he wanted to see the beautiful queen..
Babloo: Not Padmavathi?
G'ma: Yes.. Padmavathi..
Babloo: You said pretty..
G'ma:She was very pretty..
Baby: Did he see her?
G'ma: No he couldn't.. That's why he attacked the good king's fort ..
Babloo: What happened then? Did the good king kill his 'nemy king?
G'ma: No he was not able to do it..
Babloo: See'kka.. In fairy tales it won't be like that.. Good kings will always win.
Baby: Why grandma? Is the good king not strong?
G'ma: He is strong.. But the bad king is stronger..
Babloo: 'kka... I tell you..I know.. the queen Padmavathi must have gone next with red powder and killed the 'nemy king..
G'ma: Nothing of that sort happened.. The cruel king killed the good king in the battle..
Babloo: HOW? How can a bad king kill a good king?
G'ma: (sigh)..The reason I can find is the good king looks very thin, and the bad king looks large and heavy..
Baby: Grandma. what happened after that?
G'ma: When the enemy army entered the fort, hundreds of girl inside threw baskets of glowing charcoal on them..They got burnt..
Babloo: And what happened to the bad king? Did he die?
G'ma: (sadly) no..
Baby: How come?
G'ma: Because it is history...
Baby and Babloo: 😲 😡
