Hea ani te bhirakul mhatele khobrampotrancher vachun, angachi lhonv ubi zata. Bebddo Caitan, Bebdo Santu, Bebdo Lores, adi-adi, amchea ganvantlea bebddeank ami volkotale. Oxich, eka bebddachi gozal tumchea somor dovortam.
“Maim, Maim, vegim dhavun yeo ghe”. Putan, avoik ulo marlo.
“Kitem zalem re baba?”, Bhitorlean, avoicho vichar.
“Maim, pai melo ghe”, ovkoldadd (wisdom tooth) yeunk
naslolea putan mhontlem..
“Kitem?”, kuznant nustem sap kortolem Katarin, bhendak aslolea tuvaleak hat
puxit bhair ailem.
“Maim, ho poi, madachea muddant poddun pai mela.”
“Avois, Saiba bhogos, hea daddleachem sodanchem”, vhoddlean
boddboddun Katarin, ghorkara sorxim dhavun ghelem. Sorean lass zaloli tachi
poristithi pollelear to jivo kivam mela hem somzupak, inosent putak gomunk

“Are bebddea, utth. Jivak sonsonam titlo kiteak piyeunk zai? Gara

ghorant bhitor velo.
Bebddo Caitan, Katarinacho ghorkar; ek dis kamak gelear, tin
dis tank full korun soreache nosar bhonvtalo. Bolsak burak
zatoch, porot kamank vetalo.
Ek dis sokalli, Katarin aplea ghorkarak utthovpak gelem. To
utthona zalo. Katarinan villapun kiloch marli. Hoi! Tornnech pirayer Caitan ho
sonvsar soddun gelo. Babddem Katarin vidva zalem. Puta khatir tannem dusrem
logn korunk naslem. Koxttantlean tannem aplea putak xikoun, vhodd kelo.
Oslim kitlim Katarina amchea Goyant astolim, sangonk zaina. Anik

Bharotacho Bapuji M.K. Gandhi oxem mhontale, “Alcohol is
not the answer to all the questions”. Bebddikai ek duens. Adle kallar
fokot daddle vhoddil soro piyetale. Punn atam ostoreo, tornattim chedde
