The earliest memory that I have of him is when he was old but still very fit. He was thin and tall and bearded and fair. The post is not about any of that. The post is about a small act that immortalized him in my memories. As kids, my brother and I were very curious about him and his things - something was different about him from the rest of the adults that we knew at that age. https://rustling.byteactuator.com/posts/dry-joke/ Tue, 27 Dec 2022 23:22:01 -0800 https://rustling.byteactuator.com/posts/dry-joke/ Baba often jokes with kids “I am going to take a shower and I will use all the available water. There won’t be any water left for you to shower” or “I just had a shower and I used all the available water. No water for you."(“ನಾ ಸ್ನಾನಕ್ಕ್ ಹೊಂಟೀನಿ. ನೀರು ಖಲಾಸ್ ಮಾಡ್ತೀನಿ. ನಿನಗ್ ನೀರ್ ಇಡಂಗಿಲ್ಲ” or “ನಾ ಸ್ನಾನಾ ಮಾಡಿ ಬಂದೆ. ನಿನಗ್ ನೀರೇ ಉಳಸಿಲ್ಲ”). In Gulbarga, while growing up, potable water shortage was a constant problem.
