My
Childhood Memory:
By Vivekananda Murthy Kadiayala

As a
young boy, I loved movies In my home town of tanuku, there were two
film theatres nearby to each other. I would frequently watch the films
playing at those theatres. Once, after watching a film at one of the
theatres of a particular hero, I went to the other theatre to see what
films were showing there. To my surprise, there was another film
showing there with the same hero. But, the starting time of this
second film was just a few minutes after the previous film in the
other theatre. This confused me; I would ask myself: "How can this
hero act in one theatre and immediately come and act in the other
theatre.
I then
asked one of my brothers, and he pulling my leg told me that, because
the actor was a hero, he was rich and had his own horse and carriage,
which would very quickly transport him from one theatre to the next.
Believing his every word, I started to look curiously into every horse
and carriage that went past the theatres in the hope of finding that
hero. Finally, one day someone asked me what I was doing , and when I
told them what my brother had told me, they laughed affectionately at
my innocence and explained what really happens.
