Kuttyma saw ketchup on my plate the other day and said “Mama Ketchup”. I did not understand – I asked her what she meant. She replied “Miss Mama”.

We called up baby bro KA to say we missed him and kuttyma added her own words – come Singapore mama. We both miss him. I thought it would be me missing him more. But the truth is my little girl misses her uncle and the uncle misses his niece. I am just a silent observer.

It overwhelms me! The uncle – niece relationship – I hope it lasts forever unlike some others.

I still do not understand what the connection between ketchup and mama is. My brother also does not recall any inside jokes about ketchup.

Ketchup reminded me of this song

and by the way Happy Birthday bro! I know you do not read my blog but just wanted to wish you
