Ten year old Nitin closed his eyes. He couldn’t take the suspense. He knew that everyone else in the room was tense too. He could hear his eldest cousin sitting next to him silently uttering a prayer to the Almighty under her breath. Please be the Titanic song.https://blog.karthikrp.com/posts/my-neighbor/Sun, 26 Aug 2007 12:15:19 -0500https://blog.karthikrp.com/posts/my-neighbor/Mention childhood, and all of us become nostalgic. Everyone gets reminded of their school days, their friends and the games they used to play. But my childhood was different. It had one important person I can never forget in my life- Lakshmi aunty. When I was a child, I had no one to play with. Both my parents were working, and came home late. I had to spend my time after school in a creche till I was eight years old, and then I spent them in Lakshmi aunty’s house.
