STORIES FROM MY MOTHER September 29

My mother Latha, grew up in Bandaragama, a village not too far from Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. This was the 40’s. The wealthiest man in the village owned an elephant . His name was Raja (meaning the King) . According to my mothers accounts Raja was the tallest tamed elephant in Sri Lanka. The village was very proud of Raja . But Raja also came at a cost to the village. About twice a year Raja would become very fierce and out of control. During this period he would let himself lose and run around the village destroying people’s plantations , vegetations and on occasions he has even killed his mahout ( the care taker) and other villagers. My mom says that she enjoyed these days when the village was under the ‘Raja’ curfew because she was excused from school :-). During one of these days my moms dad was driving his new car when he saw a crowd of people running towards him. They told my grandfather to leave the car and run with them to the paddy field because Raja was after them . My grandfather ran with them reluctantly leaving the car behind. Paddy fields are safe from elephants because they know they can sink in the mud . So every one watched Raja from the paddy field horrified , and expected him to destroy the car . But my grandfather got lucky , because as Raja was about to step on the car, he got distracted by a sound that came from the opposite direction and decided to continue running that way.

In my memory

In my memory

I recall it to be perfect

To be one person,

Or to be something

just once

Did I begin?

Or beyond that?

Thank you heartfelt lies,

Now I don’t know how

to heal -

I’m broken inside


Imagine Love
