“My grandma used to spin the most fantastic of stories you’ve ever heard!” she said to her companion

“You’re wrong! My grandma was better! It was fairies and princes always” came the reply

The two sisters sat silently remembering… till they heard the excited voices..

“Bari dadi, choti dadi! tell us a story please na”

My very first try at a 55fiction, inspired by Xill-e-Ilahi. Also part of the wednesday wanderers.

I had those times too- she waves her hands wildly in the air, I still make my dadima tell me some legendary Gujrati stories (translated versions). Best part about stories is, it can last for generations. It’s a dying craft, I tell you!
