Prologue

Friendly Witch Land i.e., FWL for short was celebrating Grandmas lucky surprises Day. On this day, held regularly every 500 witches calendar day, tasks were assigned to the witches. What were these tasks you would wonder! Sayani witch was getting ready for the occasion. She was a sweet looking ugly witch full of kindness in her heart. “Have to assemble in Tremendous Tasks Hall in 15 minutes ,”she muttered to herself. The hall was brimming with saree clad friendly witches. Anapoorna the senior most witch began to address. “Silence everyone. The day has come to familiarise you all with duties to be performed all over Planet Earth. As I call out your names raise your hands and receive the instructions “. As names were addressed the instructions began to fly to every raised hand. “I am assigned work at South Extension Part 1 , Delhi , India , with details of things to be done particularly for children. This age in India is forgetting the importance within families of the elderly. My role as a grandmother would make children and their parents realise the worth of grandparents. I better make hasty preparation and descend to the allotted place “. The hall witnessed hurried activity. “Anapoorna does not like us to waste time “, a witch was heard to be saying.

The witches of FWL were descendants of Hadimba and her son Ghattotkacha of Mahabharat times. Hadimba a witch had married Bheema one of the Pandavas. Ghattotkacha was there son who fought valorously in the Mahabharat war between the Pandavas and Kauravas. He attained martyrdom in the said war. Ghattotkacha was survived by his mother and 3 sons. FWL had the special blessings of Lord Krishna. Therefore when assigned tasks the friendly witches used their magic powers sparingly. For ultimately everything is in God’s hands.
