A&A and their experiment on me

Irrespective of the space left for any food in stomach, if I happen to hear a Kacheri at 1 Pm, I smile, smear my nose, feel sleepy and thrive for my lunch. That is the positive reinforcement Akashavani and my Amma(A&A) has created on me.

Amma would be preparing lunch and I would be lazily lying on the bed for the lunch call, Akashavani would be on and after Pradeshika Varthakal(Regional news), it would be time for the Kacheri …That is exactly around 1 pm. Ammas Pulisseri Kaduku varakkal and Pappadam kaachal would be going on in full swing in the kitchen which is few meters away from my bed…my appetite slowly slips down to a nap….Raagas squeeze into my ears down to my heart…

Now what happens to me many years later is called Operand Conditioning in behavioral sciences.
Their experiment is a success
But is this a disease now?
