Meenakshi : Please continue. I’m curious to know about it.

Vimali : There was a shower of golden gooseberries on her house.

Meenakshi : My God! What a miracle! Will it happen to me, if I say the same prayer?

Vimali : There you are! I asked my mother the same question.

Meenakshi : What did she say?

Vimali : It is not only the mere song that makes the miracle happen. Rather our faith and sincere prayer works wonders.
