It has generated discussions on the Perandoor Canal that separates two localities in Kochi. The narration is that the boy goes to his grandma's place which is next to the canal. He enquires her why she lives next to a drain, when the grandma remnisces about the beautiful canal that it was once with lotus and fish and boats plying on it. She narrates how it has become a drain due to wastes from surrounding houses.
At the end, the boy's grandma asks him what gift he wants, he gives a beautiful picture of the Perandoor Canal with a message to preserve the world.
