It was spring time and the people in colourful attire were going to the fair. A child along with his parents was going to the fair and was very excited and happy. The child was fascinated by the stalls of toys and sweets. Though, his father got angry but his mother pacified him and diverted his attention towards other things. The child moved forward but once again lagged behind because his eyes were caught by one thing or the other every now and then.
As they moved forward, the child got demurred by the decorative items on the stalls. His mouth watered seeing sweets decorated with gold and silver leaves. “I want burfi” but he did not wait for his parent’s reply as he knew very well that his parents will never agree to buy burfi for him. They would say he was greedy, therefore he kept moving. Then he witnessed beautiful garlands but didn’t ask for it, then he saw balloons but he knew very well that his parents will say he was too old to play with balloons so he walked away.
Then he saw a snake charmer, a round about swing. Now he stopped to ask his parents the permission to enjoy the swing but to his utter surprise there was no reply. Neither his father nor his mother was there. Now the child realized that he was lost. He ran here and there but with no fruitful result. The place was too overcrowded. He got terrified but suddenly a kind hearted man took him up in his arms and consoling the bitterly weeping child. He asked if he would like to have a joyride but the child sobbed “I want my father, I want my mother.” The man offered him sweets, balloons and garland but the child kept sobbing “I want my father, I want my mother.”

This is a story about Mahendra, a junior supervisor and his cook, Iswaran. Former had to keep moving from place to place as ordered by headed office. But he had fortunately an expert caretaker, Iswaran who cooked his meals, washed his clothes and chatted with him at night.
Iswaran was very fond of reading Tamil thrillers during his spare time. As a result he innovated his own thrillers and would tell about it to Mahendra. The latter used to hear patiently without finding any loopholes in the story.
Iswaran often in his stories narrated about elephants. For example, he told a story about how he paralyzed a mad elephant that had gone berserk. He told that there were timber logs loaded on trucks. But if an elephant went mad no mahout could control it. The elephant now entered a school ground where children were playing, breaking through the brick wall. Children and teachers ran helter and skelter to save jheir lives. The elephant was stunned when Iswaran then only a little boy took a rod and hit at the elephant’s third toe nail. The secret was if the elephant is hit there, his nervous system gets paralyzed.
Finally, one day talking about spirits of the ancestors, Iswaran began to talk of ghosts. He said that the place where they had their shed was once a burial ground. He also had come across ghosts but he was not scared of them. He told Mahendra about a woman ghost seen only on a full moon night. She moaned and carried a foetus in her arms. This terrified Mahendra so much that he finally thought of that woman ghost on a full moon night. He could hear a low moan outside his window. He peeped from his window and there stood the ghost of the woman. He flung himself down and found that he was often dreaming of that woman ghost. Iswaran used to ask grinning at Mahendra, “Sir, you were angry with me the other day when I told you about the ghost but didn’t you see her yourself last night ?” Mahendra never used to listen to Iswaran’s questions and finally decided to resign from his job and leave that haunted place.
