"your name please"

Oh oh times are changing very fast what ever i guessed and defied as impossible or ridiculous is now happening to me. I did not believe that as you grow in age you lose your senses little by little and your memory too, I was making fun of people when they said there memory skills are poor or because that was my strong hold too. I never had  a phone book ,scribbled addresses on papers or referred to notes to recall any incidence cause I used my memory to store it, of late i feel difficult even to recall known names,and I am scared where someday i may forget my own name too. Yeah when i said this, I just got a flash of my memory kindled where i recollect  that a house fly(commonly called as Ee) was one day engaged in cleaning its house and as every one else do it was recalling certain incidents and memories.Aha this was the time when it suddenly,wanted to recall what its name was  ehm,  no use, any amount of crushing its brain cells did not give it any relief. So it was restless. Aren't we too restless, when we forget known things? and cannot recall such as the name of animals ,places and some beginning of favourite tunes,so what do we do start calling some of our favourite pal/sisters/brother/friend pose this question and get some relief so too the House fly set off to find out.What its name wasa
As it went out it sighted a calf which came zooming, so the fly,thought it would give some relief, so asked the calf  kozhu kozhu kanre en peyar enna?(oh chubby calf what is my name). The calf replied,saying what do i know i am too small ask my mom over there, she may be of some help. so the FLY NOW WENT TO THE MOTHER COW THAT WAS grazing and asked stating kanren thaya en peyar enna(oh mother of the calf what is my name?) The cow said how do i know ask my cowherd, he may be of some help, so the fly now set off to the cowherd and repeated Thayae maeikum aayane en payar enna?(cowherd of mother cow what is my name?) The cowherd too was helpless and said i am sorry i really don't know try asking this cane in my hand whether it knows so the fly repeated in the rhythmic from and asked the cane aayen kai kole en peyar enna?(the cane in the cowherds hand what is my name?) The cane too felt sorry and said i don't know why don't you ask that plant from where i have been made,so the fly went to the bamboo tree  and asked kol valarum kodimarame en payar enna?(bamboo tree from which the cane is extracted what is my name) the bamboo tree too expressed its inability and said why don't you give a try with the crane which is sitting on my branch and check your luck. the disturbed fly now with more tension,approached the crane and said........kodi marathil irrukum kokae en payar enna?(the crane on the bamboo tree what is my name?)the crane too said i does not know but offered help by saying why don't you ask the pond which i frequent and see whether you succeed, so the fly now went to the pond and asked the pond,koku varum kulame en payar enna?(the pond which is frequented by the crane what  is my name?)The pond too negated and said i am sorry i have no idea please have a check with the fish that lives in this water,
the fly any way ha dto know what its name was so continued with its format kozhu kozhu ....... kulathil vazhum meenae en payer enna?(fish living in this pond,what is my name?) the fish too gave up saying we do not know however the fisherman who nets us might be smart enough to clear your doubt, the fly approaches the fisher man and repeats .kozhu kozhu kanrae....... meen pidikum kosavanee en payer enna?(oh fisherman what is my name). this man too was in his wits so said i do not know try your luck with the net that i use,The fly went to the net that was spread for drying over the grassy land and enquired, kosavan veesum valaiyae en payer enna?(net used by the fisherman what is my name)The net directed the fly to check with the green grass on which it was spread so the fly recited......valai verithirugum pullae en payer enna?(grass could you tell me my name)the grass too shook its head saying no and told to check with the horse which was stabled which feeds on i.So the fly went to the horse and repeated   ..............      enn payer enna....?(grass eating horse whats my name)the horse never wanted to send away the fly with out extracting some work so casually said kindly give me some grass to fill my self i will tell u.The fly obliged cause anyway it was to find out what was its name,so brought a huge bundle of grass the horse ,after having its stomach filled.was very happy and started to neigh  ehEe,ehEe,ehEe, oh my god the fly recollected that its name is" Ee,"thanked the horse profusely and started back home. well this story/rhyme when narrated in school  made us to wonder, what a silly story it is can any one ever forget their name, but as we grow up we understand that it is possible to forget many things and at times your self too, if you Have DEMENTIA, little did the fly know that it had a serious medical problem.But we are aware that this can happen to many of us because nowadays we are so much driven with electronic gadgets that every info is stored in the mobile  ipad, iphone and computer. Iam so glad that the house fly suceeded in decoding its name due to its simplicity,but guess how difficult it would become for us with such fancy,multiple complex names "God save us from such an eventuality" AND LET US ALL STORE WHAT IS OUR NAME ON OUR MOBILE.because we rarely know what is our number because we never store it on our mobile and so also our names
