October 9. “Button, do you like Bigg Boss? Why don’t you come and sit down and watch the show with all of us?”

“I’ve been seeing the show every day. I get very lonely and bored, especially at night.”

“Arre baba, you’re most welcome to watch what you want. Good show, na?”

“Yes. Those adults behave like kids—fighting and getting angry every now and then.”

“Do you want to be a participant?”

“I would love that so much.”

“Supposing you were, how would you contribute?”

“I could do the mopping and actually anything else they ask me to do. I’m very co-operative in that sense!”

“You’re using such big words these days. Has watching television improved your vocabulary? Then you must watch television every day. Goodnight.”

“Goodnight. To tell you the truth, I watch television till your daughter switches it off in the wee hours every morning. She was up till 5 this morning.”

“Tattler.”
