Pappadam Kachi is a long stick made of steel to take pappad
(thin crispy wafer served with Indian meals) from oil.
It was a Good Friday. Usually on good Friday we will be on fasting
in the morning (except Amy) and we will have kanji and payar (green gram curry)
for lunch( a simple food).
This good Friday I and Amy are at our rented home and my
husband went to his home.
So I was busy making Kanji and payar for both of us. I
thought I will make few pappad also. Since Amy like pappad very much.. (Me too…
J).So I kept oil to
heat. Took the Pappadam kachi (which I usually keep in out of reach of Amy) and
few pappad and kept everything ready.
Mean time my little Angle appeared on kitchen and saw the
Pappadam kachi. Within second she took the pappadam kachi and started playing
with it. I asked her to return it and told her that she won’t be getting pappad
if she didn’t return the pappadam kachi.
She is not listening to whatever I said and busy playing with
it near washing machine. I was also busy making Kanji and payar that I didn’t
notice what she is doing. After few minutes she came to me and told she had
drop pappadam kachi inside washing machine.
I was shocked…What she is small and she can’t open the
washing machine lid. Then how did she drop it inside Washing machine. Then I
asked her how, she took me to the washing machine and showed me a small hole on
the side of the washing machine (meant for holding the draining pipe) and told
me that she dropped it through that..
OMG….she dropped the Pappadam kachi inside washing machine. I can take it only by unscrew and opening the
washing machine from the back. I got angry like nothing and I started screaming
at her and she started crying. I switched off the oil. Turned the washing
machine a little bit to have a look on the back side. And I found that I need a
star screw driver to open the back. L.
And the realty is I don’t have any screw driver at all.
After sometime, once my BP came down, I somehow managed to
make few pappad using scissors (don’t embrace, it’s true, you can fry pappad
using scissors’ I just tried and succeeded. And this is what is proverb “Necessity
is the mother of invention” says.. J)
We both had kanji,
payar and pappad.
By evening my husband came and I reported the incident to
him. He had a look on the back side and told me that he will buy a star screw
driver and open washing machine and take the pappadam kachi. Hmm.. Since I know
my husband very well, I have to wait for 3 to 4 days for all theses to happen.
That too, only if I keep on asking him…But since Washing machine is an
unavoidable gadget and I am using it on a daily basis I can’t wait for 3 to 4
days.
So I tried, putting some clothes inside and tried to start washing
machine and I end up in getting some sounds from inside the machine. So I just stopped
the machine.
Again was thinking what shall be done.
And now I found myself sitting on the back side on washing machine,
holding my scissors and trying to unscrew …This time also, my little scissor
helped me. I opened the back side, took the pappadam kachi out. Closed the back
again. And kept everything in place. I switched my machine on and it started
functioning normally. I am relaxed.. J
I kept the Pappadam kachi back to its place.. On the top of
my fridgeJ.
