Anyway, I decided, "I have to make him eat!"🔗

See, in My house, it was a joint family. One of My grandmothers… she was a distant relative. If the kids didn't eat, this old lady would threaten them. In the center of the garden, there was a huge well, a village-type well. She would shout, "If you don't eat, I will put you inside the well!" She would take the kid by the hand, take a little food in the other hand, show him the well and say, "See? I will drop you inside!" The kids would cry with their mouth wide open and she would put the food inside! That is the way she would feed kids.

So, I had heard only that logic. Naturally, what would I do? I decided that I would also do the same thing with Ganesha! I went and put a little food in front of Ganesha and told him, "Eat now!" When I saw that he had not eaten even after half an hour, I started using the same technique. I told him, "I will put you in the well!"

Please understand: the teacher taught Me tarka; the old lady from My family taught Me kutarka. She was My father's periamma (elder aunt). So I started shouting in the same way! She would use all the old Tamil words to threaten us kids. I started using all those words: "Better eat now, or you are going to be in the well!"
