My 3 cousins and I (that's me in the right corner, the youngest) used to be up to all kinds of mischief in our summers. Stealing mangoes from the kitchen, waving away the crows from the 'vadaams' (sabudaana paapads) that our grandmom would spread out to dry (but eating them ourselves and blaming crows for it!), eating 'nila choru' (dinner in the moonlight), wearing each others' clothes, bathing together and having a ball in general.
Well, they are in different parts of the world now. Distance, commitments and adulthood separate us, but we'll always have our childhood memories!
PS: We used to fancy ourselves as the Famous Five, with my pet goat filling in for Timothy!
PPS: The 3 younger cousins (born after me) unfortunately never made it to the Quartet Clique!
growing up with cousins is so much fun !
