Swapna rummaged through her cupboard to find her photograph. She needed it to join her swimming classes. As it was her summer vacation, she wanted to do something useful. She couldn’t find the photo. But she remembered seeing it somewhere. Since her parents had gone out, she couldn’t ask her mother as well.
She then proceeded to her parents’ cupboard. She was careful not to disturb anything as her mother had yelled at her whenever she disturbed the cupboard. It was then that she saw it. It was pretty hard to not miss the box, with that picture on top. She remembered the number of times she had been asked to close her eyes when that ad had played on TV. Her parents had not responded when she asked them what it was and change the topic each time. That gave her the impression that it was something bad. She initially hesitated but then proceeded to pick the box up and read the text on it. Kamasutra condoms. It didn’t mean anything to her, but the picture held her attention. A sudden wave of shame engulfed her though after a while and she flushed the box down the toilet.
4 years passed, and it was time for her to join a college. On the day of admission, her family accompanied her to her college & started for their home town. She met a girl called Brinda and they started chatting. “So were the people who dropped you your parents?” “Yes”, Swapna replied. “And the kiddo?” “My brother”, she replied and she knew what the next question would be. “How come you have a brother who must be only 2 years old?” She smiled sheepishly and managed to mutter, “My parents always wanted a baby boy and they were blessed only recently”

@ Aparna,
The friend thinks the kid must be around 2 years. That should explain it. The kid is 3 years old. And didnt she notice?? I dunno…. she didnt notice when it was important
