“don’t kill that dragonfly!” — my grandma with angry face looking at me.

I was just playing with dragonfly which I captured from our garden, tied a small thread to its tail and waving like a kite.

“grandma, I am just playing”- to her angry face.

“no baby, don’t torture the animals or flies, even we should let them live, don’t you want to go to heaven? If you do good deed, then you will go to haven else god will take you to hell” — grandma trying to release the fly from my hand.

“oh, we can plan for it this weekend, we all can go to heaven then”- my 6-year-old brain planning for vacation over the weekend.

“you can go to heaven only when time comes, when you get old and have kids and grandkids”- my grandma kept her point.

“so, you will be going alone?”- cross questioning begins.

“you can go only when you die!”- grandma sighed for my words.

I was curious and want to know more about it.

“grandma! I was about to send that fly to heaven! You stopped me!”- there comes our curious kid.

“I can’t argue with you but remember if you do good job without hurting anybody then only you will go to heaven”- my grandma wanted to add full stop to our conversation.

“what’s in heaven?”- I was just curious.

“everything what you need”- my grandma went for a walk after saying this with her grand gang.

I was not convinced. I went into kitchen and continued my conversation with mom.

“what are you doing?”- my mom was busy in kitchen so thought of interrupting her.

“why don’t you play with binni? She came asking you. I am busy cooking dinner”- she knows I don’t like binni because she plays with girly toys. I am Lion, cannot play with all that.

“what are you cooking?”- I continued.

“don’t you want chicken tonight? Your dad loves chicken”- my mom continued frying something.

“you will take all of us to hell!”- I ran out from kitchen uttering those.

I know my mom was shocked by my words, thinking what is going on with this kid.

I saw my grandma walking towards home with her grand gang. My grandma is planning to go to heaven with these 6 other grandmas, need to keep an eye on them- I was in deep thought.

“so many street dogs, barking and its scary. Why don’t this municipality guys do something”- my grandma sitting on the sofa and trying to switch on the tv.

“what will municipality do?”- my examination begins.

“they will take them far away from city”- grandma answered struggling with her remote.

“I will kill you if you don’t tell where those files are”- tv speakers sounded with the words from grandma’s daily serial.

“oh god! Grandma this man will go to hell if he kills him”- my daily commentary changed with context.

“yes, yes he should go to hell he is torturing him from past 1 month”- my grandma was confident.

“grandma, grandma… “- I started scratching her hand.

“what’s the matter kid?”- my grandma focus shifted at me from tv.

“we all will go to hell”- I was sacurious (sad + curious)

“what nonsense are you talking?” — go and pray, pointing towards our praying room my grandma concentrated on serial.

My dad grabbed chicken from dining bowl when we are sitting for dinner.

I was about to say something, but my dad goes to gym. Anyhow if we go to hell, we all be together, but how can I make my granny to accompany us? Since, she is sure that she will go to heaven.

“grandma, this chicken is tasty, try it”- handing over plate to my grandma.

“No, I can’t eat all that, these veggies are good”- got a complete negative response.

I decided will take grandma to hell with us at any cost, because I am Lion 😉

“mom, what are you cooking?”- the question carry forwarded to next day.

“why are you asking this always?”- my mom continued cutting vegetables.

“mom, these plants have life rite? Why are we killing it?”- my science brain enlightened.

“what will you eat?”- my mom asked me.

I was in confused state, ran to grandma and pricked her head.

“grandma. If we eat veggies we go to heaven?”- my naughty brain is fighting with the concepts.

“yes, vegetables are given by god to us to consume”- grandma sighed again.

“so, all animals in discovery channel will go to hell rite? — there is the point.

My grandma is irritated now she was like — “yes!!”

My grandma had a habit of keeping her teeth set in water before she goes to sleep. And I want to take grandma to hell with us.

It is around 11.30 Pm we had our lights off and looks like everybody was in good sleep.

I decided to do some adventure.

I woke up slowly without making noise, opened our fridge. I can see many utensils stacked in different racks. I forgot what I was searching for… It took me 30 minutes to decide which was chicken curry and which was veg curry, even after eating.

Keeping aside chicken curry on our dining table it is time for doing my magic. Slowly picked up my grandma tooth set and dipped in the curry. But I guess god was watching me, the tooth set slipped into bowl and vanished. I was thinking what can be done. I was fishing in the curry bowl in search of tooth set. Every time I try to get one, I ended up catching a chicken piece. Trying for several minutes I was able to get a jaw set, picked up slowly and placed in my grandma’s tooth set bowl. Fought for another for some time and succeeded in pulling out.

Now grandma’s tooth set bowl has chicken curry dipped tooth set. Mission accomplished.

“son, we need to change our tooth paste it has pungent smell and taste”- grandma started complaining about tooth paste with my father early morning.

“why what’s wrong we are using same toothpaste from very long”- my dad looking for expiration on toothpaste.

“I don’t know, I cleaned my tooth set last night and kept in the bowl, morning after I use it tastes different” — my grandma complaining about her taste buds.

“will get a new one then when I am back from work” -my dad left to work saying so.

Grandma was still in dilemma about what had happened- I was listening to conversation with a proud smile eating my breakfast.

“grandma when you go to hell please make sure we all stay together” — I shouted at her from my dining table. My back was not itchy, but my mom hand was for sure itching.

“what nonsense are you talking! Eat food and read those rhymes! From tomorrow school starts”- my mom was angry with my words.

“I remember I brushed and cleaned my tooth set but still there are some fiber stuck between these teeth, need to change brush too”- my grandma looking at the mirror and blabbering.

Well, even after getting a blow on my back my eyes were wet and mouth was shut. But I was happy too that we all as a family go to hell; since I love my grandma and cannot leave her alone in heaven.
