Musings- Hari & Eashwar thug life

I was carrying Ayyappan

————————————————————

We were eating Kozakattais. 

Few of them were not cooked completely. 

Hari had three in his plate. And one of it was already underway his belly.

I removed the other two, and replaced it with the cooked Kozakattais. Don’t know what he thought of why we were doing that, he exclaimed “aiyooo, first lendu chaapada thodanganama??!!??!!”

—–

Mornings are always a rush, 

And Eashwar needs always a strong push. 

He and I were having a tough time with each other getting through the motions, with him escaping and I chasing and chiding. 

While giving him a bath, I wanted to reset the tone and I said. 

” VA da edhavdhu paatu padalaam. “

Eashwar: Ok

Me: Enna padalaam. 

Eashwar (singing): Ahankaaram kudindu varannu” … 🤣🥲

—–

*The art of debate*

Hari: Naan onnodu *Anna* illiya, adhunaale enaku periya kathiri. 

Eashwar: nee *”ennodu”* Anna illiya. Adhunaale yaarodu anna, avalku dhan periya kathiri.

——

Ayyapan has become so expressive and communicative. 

Ayyapan: Amma, ambali mama ( moon) yen nadaka mudiyadhu? 

Me: ambali mama ku kaal illai. 

Ay: yen kaal illai?

Me: round aa irukarthu naale kaalu vazhikki vizhundhoodum

Ay: appo straight AA irundhu na kaal irukuma. 

Me: yes. Ana avar round aa dhaane irupar. 

Ay: hmm. Avar cashew madri um irupar. 

…..

During night, while trying to put him to sleep

Ayyapan: yen Ella kadai le eppovum oru mama irupar. 

Me: avar irundha dhan naama kadali lendu samaanam edukalam. 

Ayyapan: avar enna pannuvar. 

Me: (eager to bring a close so that we go to sleep-mode). Avar ippo kadai moodi, aathuku poitu, chaptu, thoongirpar. 

Ava ellarum already thoongirpar. 

Ayyapan: Ava jabika maata illiya…adhunaale (we had been chanting Sahasranamam daily, that day we had chanted after dinner) 

….

Amma (showing an earlier pic of eashwar to ayyapan, in which he is standing wearing a red towel, looking much like Shankaran): idhu yaaru ? 

Ayyapan: Eashwar

Amma: illai. Idhu Shankaran. Paaru. Eashwar ivlo kutti aa irukamaatane. 

Ayyapan: ana Shankaran um ivlo periyavan AA iruka maatane. 

(Amazing logic). 

 Ayyapan: Nammal kitchen le ve thoongi kitchen le ve light off panninom na ..ratri paatram ellam Nammal kitte varuma??!!

Oct 2023:

Ayyapan: (seated in the toilet): Amma, paatu paadu.
Me: Paatu padanama?

A: Illai amma, paatu paadu.
Me: Enna pattu paadanam.
A: Illai. Paatu paadu.
Me (very confused): paatu dhaane padanam. ok.
A: (flustered by the repetation) Illai amma. (Shaking his finger gesturing a ‘no-no’) , paatu paadu.

Me: ohhh. Paaka Pdadhaaa. Sheri.
A: Nan kadavu chaataren 😀

May 2023

Hari to Eashwar (confidentky trying dialouges) “Dai, nee vayasu le dhan da perushu, naan ana arivu le chinnavan”

Me: What?!!

Eashwar: Dai nee thappa chollarai, naan akukum chollanum…

me (thinking): wow, he understood?

Eashwar continuing: Nee vayasu perushu aanalum, nan dhan buddhi le chinnavan “

——————————————————————————————

Eashwar: amma, Nijam paaku yaaru vangindu vanda. Adhu chaapadalama.
Me: Kutti papa lam chaapadave pdadhu.
Eashwar: boys um chapada pdadhu. Ava girls aa maariuduva. TV le Andhu mama chaaptapo mami ayitar.

Mar 2022

Hari: வௌவால் bird aa?

Me: இல்லை

Hari: Oh, consonant aa ?

—————————————–

Eashwar: Amma, enakku inniku Good Day. ( Wondering if he is asking for the biscuit)
Me: apdina?
Eashwar: enakku school iruku illiya. Adhunaale good day.
Hari: Priya mami, enakum inniku good day
Me: ??
Hari: enakku iniku school ye poga vendaaam. (saying which he hugged Meena in relief :))

——————————————–

Hari suddenly looked at my phone screen and shouted “Sea horse” and it was this image

Hari ‘s version of sea horse- and how can one say he’s wrong 🙂

I dont think he realized he had a “thenali raman” moment. Probably he will when he see this post in future.

Feb 2022

Eashwar had picked up a call in Priya’s phone from her office, and then handed it over to her.
Me: Eashwar, nee phone eduka pdathu konde, Amma odu office lendu phone aakum. Ring aana apdiye kudukanam.

Hari: Avan enna panninan?
Me: Explained to him.

Eashwar: Ok Appa, Inime phone vanda, apdiye amma te koduthuduven..
Hari: Naan enna pannuven theriyama, phone vanda…phone apdiyeee…ilaai…illai… phone varathuku minnadiye amma te kuduthuduven 😀

Dec 2021

Eashwar was lying next to me and it was nearing midnight. He was talking non-stop. So, i asked him to sleep.

Eashwar: அப்பா எனக்கு தூக்கம் வரலை.

Me: “இராம இராம ” சொல்லு, தூக்கம் வரும்

Eashwar: இராமருக்கு தூக்கம் வரலைனாலும் அவர்“இராம இராம” சொன்னா போருமா ?

August 2021

Me: hari, நேத்திக்கு ராத்திரி ஸ்வப்னம் வந்துதா?

Hari: இ‌ல்லை, ஸ்வப்னம் வர்றதுக்கு முன்னாடியே நா‌ன் தூங்கிட்டேன் !!

————————————————————————————–

Karunya (our neighbour girl birthday party)

Kids went to attend a birthday party of our neighbour Karunya.

The boys had got mickey mouse pencil box as return gifts. Eashwar said ” அம்மா, நாளைக்கு காலம்பற திரும்பியும் Karunya ஆத்துக்கு போகலாம்.” I thought he has the cake in mind when he said that. On asking why he wanted to, he said ” Hari odu rubber காணலை; அவனோட box leஇருந்துது. அது எடுக்க தான்” 

—————————————————————————————-

Eashwar woke up from his nap, and says “amma, what gift can we Karunya?” I said we just gave her one yesterday for her birthday. Eashwar again “இல்லை, இன்னும் ஒரு gift”. I asked quizzically why: ” ஆமாம் , star birthday ku” 😀 😀

———————————————————————

Amma had explained the meaning of manikandan as “கழுத்துல மணி கட்டிண்டு இருந்ததனால் அவர் பெயர் மணிகண்டன்”

Hari responded that “நான் கழுத்துல மணி காட்டினா நானும் மணிகண்டன்”

and continued that ” காருண்யா கட்டிண்டா , அவள் மணிகண்டீ”

And that was not the end he said Sunaina மணி கட்டிக்க வேண்டா , அவள் ஏற்கனவே மணி கட்டிண்டு இருக்கா”…I was confused and i was later clarified that his friends name is “Sunaina Manikandan” 🙂

——————————————————————

Vishnu was preparing for his Independence day speech for the next day. Inspired by his Anna, Hari wanted to follow his footsteps, and drew flags and showed everyone. Vishnu write a speech and read it aloud to us. Seeing this Hari too was writing some random stuff in his notebook. Once Vishnu finished, Hari stood up and without any hesitation, he confidently spoke aloud ” Dear friends,.. F J D R R K F J M N O P S D T K L” … Well thats the random jottings he managed in his notebook and sincerely delivered.

——————————————————————————–The masonry work is going on in our house in full swing, with Eashwar and Hari supervising everything with dance and chat. One of the workers was carrying a heavy load of cement to the balcony, and Eashwars bursts with what would otherwise have been a Hari-repartee ” யாரு இது, யாரு இது, கல்லை தூக்கி போறானே”.

————————————————————————————–

 July 2021

Hari was wearing a gold chain. He attempted his english skills and shouted excitingly “Sriram mama, I will get gold chain”.

I corrected. “Wow, `I got gold chain’. சொல்லு ..’got’ is past tense”

Since he wouldnt know the meaning of past tense, i continued ” Past tense na பழைய சம்பவம். அதான் ‘got’ சொல்லணும்”

He innocently replied ” இல்லை இந்த செயின் புதுசு மாமா, பழசு இல்லை”

===============================================

Eashwar was lying next to me and it was nearing midnight. He was talking non-stop. So, i asked him to sleep.

Eashwar: அப்பா எனக்கு தூக்கம் வரலை.

Me: “இராம இராம ” சொல்லு, தூக்கம் வரும்

Eashwar: இராமருக்கு தூக்கம் வந்தாலும் “இராம இராம” சொன்னா அவருக்கு தூக்கம் வருமா ??

Me:ROFL

===========================================

Me: Eashwar , அப்பா குளிப்பாட்டி விடறேன், வர்றியா ?

Eashwar: இல்லை , நான் இன்னிக்கு எண்ணெய் தேச்சு குளிக்க போறேன்

Me: நான் எண்ணெய் தேய்ச்சு விடறேன் , வர்றியா ?

Eashwar: இல்லை நான் Girls கூடி தான் குளிப்பேன்

Me: @$@%#@$

========================================

Eashwar and I were walking in the terrace and it was a breezy morning. The breeze was cool and Eashwar wondered aloud

“Appa, நம்ப ஆத்த cut பண்ணி மொட்டை மாடிலே வைக்கலாம்.. super aa irukkum”

And he continued “அப்படியே ஆகாசத்தில் அம்புலி மாமா பார்க்கலாம்”

======================================



May 2021

Hari and Eashwar were playing. The bed was an imaginary boat and the floor was a sea. Suddenly Eashwar called

Eashwar: Appa, appa,. I have caught a fish.. Do you know why?

Me: Why ?

Eashwar: Else shark will eat it…

===============================================

Vishnu was learning (a+b)^2. Hari overheard and his interpretation is

================================================

There was a wasp in the window. I was tying to get rid of it.

Hari stood behind “மாமா, நீங்க முழிச்சு பாருங்கோ, கடந்தல் பயந்து வெளிலே போய்டும்”

===============================================

We were watching a reality show and Priya said the episode was already telecasted the previous day.

Vishnu asked ” அவா same dress போட்டுண்டிருக்களே. அது வெச்சு கண்டு பிடிச்சேளா ?”

Hari wanted to help Priya and said ” அது அவா daily தோச்சு தோச்சு போட்டுக்கறா மாமி”

================================================

I was teaching some bhjan on “rama namam” to kids. Eashwar asked me why do we call “Jai Shri ram”.

I explained that “Jai” means victory and since Rama conquered Ravana, we call him Jai shri ram.

Hari heard the word “ஜெயிச்சார்” about Ramar. And reponded

“அப்போ ராமர் `IPL’ ம் ஜெயிச்சிடுவார்”

Me : @$@(^**+

==============================================

During some random conversation, I convinced Eashwar the following. He was reluctant initially, but became a strong believer of the theory..

“As we age, our hairs turn white , (look at grand father).. Similarly, as crows age, their feathers might turn white isnt.. Thats white crane (கொக்கு)”

Later, Eashwar who was convinced told Hari “டேய் காக்காக்கு வயசானா , அதான் கொக்கு . காக்காவோட சிறகெல்லாம் வெள்ளையாயிடும் இல்லையா”

Hari’s response “அப்போ கொக்குக்கு`கழுத்து எப்படி பெருசு ஆச்சு?

ஹ்ம்ம் குட்டி கொக்கு ஆயிருக்கும்”

===============================================

April 2021

Eashwar was watching a cartoon channel. Suddenly he looked at as and asked “Today unicorn birthday… Shall we bake cake?”

====================================================

Hari was being taught numbers till 20. Mam taught him “after” and “before”, So , i started questioning with simple numbers.

Me: Before 5

Hari: 4

And we came down till 1. Then when i asked “Before 1”, Hari shouted “Lets goooo !!” and ran

“3 .. 2. 1.. Lets go” is apparently some comic hero’s dialogue.

=====================================================

At home we had told kids not to name “பாம்பு” during night. Instead they should refer as ” நாகராஜா”.. So the rule is “நாகராஜா” at night and “பாம்பு” during day.

Eashwar was attending online class and one of his classmates name is “Nagaraja”.

Eashwar asked “அம்மா அவா ஏன் காலம்பற நாகராஜா னு கூப்பிடறா??”

=====================================================

We were playing “Swami Ayyappan” movie in computer.

I noticed Eashwar in the next room and not watching movie. I asked Eashwar , “என்னாச்சு சினிமா பாக்கலயா”

Eashwar “அப்பா அது முடியவே மாட்டேங்கறது , ஏதாவது முடியற மாதிரி சினிமா போடுங்கோளேன்”

==================================================

March 2021

Amma ” 1 to 100 எழுதறாயா”

Hari, “மாட்டேன்”

Amma, “அப்போ எது வரைக்கும் எழுதுவை ?”

Hari, “2 வரைக்கும்”

=================================================

One day we asked eashwar

“Eashwar, உனக்கு யார ரொம்ப பிடிக்கும் ?”

to which he replied “Ayyappan”. We were glad that he is affectionate yo his 8 month old younger brother. Then when asked why, he replied

“அவன் soft ஆ இருக்கான்”

=====================================================

Eashwar was prepared for a telephone interview for his school admission. But he didnt need one. When we told him that he got admitted in school, he went and asked Hari

“ஆனா phone le யாரும் என் கிட்டே பேசலையே”.

So, we tried a fake interview by calling him in phone. He was very sincere in the interview. When asked

“அப்பா office எங்க இருக்கு?”

” தாத்தா room லே”- Ofcourse thats the workspace during lockdown.

Again when asked ” நீ எப்போ school க்கு வருவை”

” நான் பெரிசானப்புறம் தான்”

After the interview we asked him the details. He faithfully repeated all the questions and answers and then told

“கடைசில shake-hand மாதிரி சொன்னா.”…

We were confused what it could be. It was not a video call, so it could not be some shanke-hand sign. After lot of possibilities we asked “Is it Congratulations ?” and Eashwar explained “ஆ! ஆமாம்…”

======================================================

One day Vishnu was asking “What does apple have, Vitamin C or D? “

Overhearing this, Hari whispered “அம்மா, Apple வந்து “A” தானே “

===========================================

Amma was teaching numbers to Hari. He is to identify the number “before” and “after” a numeral. Of course, he makes random guesses and so many mistakes.

Once when asked “What’s before 8?”

He confidently replied “1”. We brushed it off as his random guesses and prodded him again and again.

He stuck to his answer “Before 8, 1 … அங்க பாரு” and showed the calendar .. a column of dates 1,8, 15…

========================================

In continuation with the math exercise, and to make the learning funnier, i asked Hari

“Before 5, its 4, but what’s before புலி? ” and he giggled when i said “புலி குட்டி”. Similarly, before பசு we established கன்னுக்குட்டி.

Then i asked him whats “Before Sriram mama?”

He understood from the above discussion that before adult, its a child. So he replied “Before Sriram மாமா , நான் தான்…”

================================================

One day when Hari woke up, he saw the maid emerging beneath the cot after mopping.

Hari said aloud “ஓ! நீ கட்டிலுக்கு அடில தூங்கிண்டு இருந்தியா”

=====================================================

One day, Eashwar was angry and threw things at amma. Amma was hurt. We scolded eashwar and when Hari passed, we asked him

“ஏன் டா Hari, Eashwar இப்படி பண்ணியிருக்கான் .. நீ ஒன்னும் சொல்லவில்லையா”

” சொன்னேனே”

” என்ன சொன்னை ?”

“Ammamma ஓடு ஓடு !! சொன்னேன்”

===============================================

Vishnu is a big time cricket fan and the display pictures in all the phones he could lay hands on will be changed to cricket icons like Dhoni, Kohli etc.

One day he wrote a small tamil poem. Everyone appreciated. Next day he thought he could write one more poem.

When i took ammas phone the display picture was already changed to ‘Thirualluvar’ 🙂

=================================================

Eashwar lifted a big box of detergent powder by himself, with some difficulty. He was proud and called me to display his prowess.

He showed it to me with a difficult expression “அப்பா அப்பா இங்க பாரு..”.

Looking at his expression, i thought that he is trying to express the difficulty and hence exclaimed “ரொம்ப கஷ்டமா இருக்கு இல்லையா..”

It wasnt the response he expected. He wanted to tell he could lift. But at the same time, he didnt want to disappoint my train of thought as well. So, within a second he retored.

“அமாம் பெரிவாளுக்கு கஷ்டமா இருக்கும்” !!

================================================

Eashwar came running “அப்பா, அப்பா, clock ஓடலை ! Battery மாத்தணும்”

I looked at it, “இல்லையே, நன்னா தானே ஓடிண்டு இருக்கு”

Eashwar “அந்த ஒல்லி முள்ளு மட்டும் தான் fast ஆ ஓடறது. குண்டு முள்ளு போகவே மாட்டேங்கறது….” %$#

===============================================

Eashwar was wearing his knicker frontside back and his pockets were in the back. I pointed out to him

“Eashwar, Knicker மாத்தி போட்டிண்டிருக்கே டா”

” இல்லை, correct ஆ தான் போட்டிண்டிருக்கேன்.”

“பாரு டா pocket எல்லாம் பின்னாடி தான் இருக்கு”

And he replied with full conviction “ஆமாம் இந்த knicker ல பின்னாடி தான் pocket”.

============================================

When watching cats in TV, eashwar announced

“பூனை சமைத்தால் நெய் ஆகும்..”

As we cringed over such a disgusting statement, he continued

“அது பூ நெய் . அதனால”

=====================================================

23-Feb-2021

last week our relative Baskar anna called amma and she was talking to him. Hari went running shouting “அம்மா , அம்மம்மா பாஸ்கர் கிட்ட பேசிண்டு இருக்கா !!”

When asked “எந்த பாஸ்கர் ?”

“ஆகாஷோடு அப்பா” said Hari.

We might wonder who this Aakaash is? Aakash refers to a character in movie “Baskar oru Rascal”.

===================================================

3rd Jan 2021

I was trying to converse with Hari in English. He couldnt manage to tell more than “yes” and a couple of words and some head nods.

He wanted to ask the fountain pen from my pocket. He came closer, looked at me and then at the pen. Then waved his hand at the pen and said “Come, come” ————————————————————————-

4th Jan 2021

Eashwar spilled water in the floor.

“ஏன்டா தரை ல தண்ணி கொட்டின ?”

Eashwar “அம்மா ! கொசு அதுல வழுக்கி விழுந்திடும்” ——————————

Hari and Meena conversation

“ஏன் star சின்னதா இருக்கு , ஆனா அம்புலி மாமா பெரிசா இருக்கார்”

Hari ” அது, குட்டி star மட்டும் தான் வெளில வந்திருக்கு” …. —————–

10th Jan 2021

Eashwar: ” Meena நான் சீதா எண்ணெய் தேச்சிண்டிருக்கேன்”… When all of us were confusedly wondering what that could be appa silently clarified from behind “I gave him Sidha (சித்த) oil” ———————————————————————————-

Eashwar came running “அம்மா நான் Full aa சொல்லறேன்” and Priya prodded “சொல்லு டா”..

Eashwar “இல்லம்மா நான் Full aa சொல்லறேன்”..

It took us some time.. Till then Eashwar used to pronounce “Full” as “Sull”. So , his excitement was his pronunciation of ‘f’ in Full. ——————————-

11th Jan 2021

Amma was searching for mattress.

Amma “அந்த nylon பாய் எங்க போச்சு ?”.

Hari:” nylon பாய் இல்லம்மா, Kuldeep Pai”

(Kuldeep Pai is the popular youtube musician, who recreates carnatic krithis and slokas for kids)———————————————————————

12th Jan 2021

Today servant maid brought her daughter. She was wearing churidar and assisted her mom by sweeping the floor.

Hari and Eashwar hid in the next room and looked at her for sometime. They discussed among themselves and came running to Vishnu “Vishnu.. உன் mam வந்திருக்கா டா !! mam தான் பெருக்கறா !!” ————————————–

when playing at evening, i asked “கிணற்றில் எப்படி டா தண்ணி இருக்கு ?”

Hari: “உள்ள ஒரு tank இருக்கு” ;

Eashwar: “மேல, tankலேர்ந்து ஒழுகி வந்திருக்கு”————————————————————————————-

13th jan

Today evening I asked eashwar again how water came in well.

Eashwar “அதான் நேத்திக்கு hari chonnane , அப்படி தான்”

———–———––##########################

20th Jan 2021

“கட்டிலுக்கு english ல என்ன னு தெரியுமா?”

Hari: “Table”

“இல்ல, அது ரொம்ப easy டா….. என்ன தெரியுமா..”

Hari:.. “Easy”

—————————————————————————————-

24th Jan 2021

Hari had combed ayyappan and suddenly Ayyappan started crying. only amma was there and she hadnt noticed it on time. Amma asked both of them who troubled Ayyappan and Eashwar said that Hari had combed Ayappan.

Eashwar: “Hari தலையை வாரி விட்டான்”

Hari: “போடா உனக்கு தெரியுமா, நீ பாத்தியா”

Eashwar: “ஆமாம், நான் பாத்தேன் , எனக்கு எல்லாம் தெரியும்”

Hari: “ஓ , உனக்கு எல்லாம் தெரியுமா”

Eashwar: “ஆமாம் , எல்லாம்தெரியும்”

Hari: “அப்போ 15, 16 எல்லாம் தெரியுமா” ******************************************************************************

25th Jan:.

Hari was trying to disturb ayyappan, when Priya said “டேய் அவன் No.2 போயிண்டிருக்கான்”

Hari: “என்னது No .2 ஆ ? அவன் number போறானா ? இல்ல 2 போறானா” ******************************************************************************

26th Jan 2021

After flag hoisting in the apartments, they distributed much chocolate to all. Hari looked at the chocolate and said that its a chocolate from Bangladesh. We were surprised. He cant read anything to infer. Later, we noticed a green dot for vegetarian. Hari understood it as Bangladesh flag %% **********************************************************************

=================================================

Dec 2020 & before

Somewhere in 2014, I went for snorkelling in Korea. Vishnu was in school. He told his friends “டேய் எங்க மாமா கடலுக்கு அடியில் நீந்தினார் தெரியுமா . fish எல்லாம் பார்த்தார். ஆனா, fish இருக்கறதுனால எல்லாரையும் உள்ள விட மாட்டா . எங்க மாமா vegetarian . அதனால தான் விட்டா”

—————————————————————————-


Vishnu’s visit to Delhi: (Vishnu was around 6 years old)

Priya and I took Vishnu to a restaurant… Vishnu started oggling at the dishes in the next table. I told him that its not good manners to stare at next plate.

Vishnu: “ok mama, நான் பார்க்கலை …மாமா நீங்களே பார்த்து சொல்லுங்கோளேன் , அவா என்ன சாப்பிடறா” ————————————————————-

Vishnu celebrated his 6th birthday in Delhi. I had brought some friends home. Some one asked amma what is Vishnu’s age and she said he is six now.

Vishnu quite concerned and whispered to amma “அம்மம்மா நான் school le எல்லார் கிட்டயும் 5 தான் சொல்லியிருக்கேன்” ———————–

Nagercoil trip – when Hari was probably 3 years old. We bought ‘matti pazham’ the famous sweet banana of nagercoil. Its small in size.

Hari looking at it for the first time, quipped “இது மட்டி பழமா குட்டி பழமா?”—————————————————————————-

Hari’s LKG time- His class teacher name was Ms.Nandini. The name reminded Amma of the cow in Bharadwaj with same name. So often amma used to say nandini is a cow’s name. Once we were travelling in car and saw a herd of cows. Amma suddenly remembered nandini and mocked Hari:

“Hey hari , look nandini is here…”

And Hari was not perturbed… He simply looked at the cow and said “good morning mam !!” ———————————————————————-

Amma was feeding ayyappan and wondered aloud comparing him to lord Krishna

“அவன் வாயிலே பாரு பூமியே தெரியறது … பாரு நம்ப இருக்கற adyar எல்லாம் கூட தெரியறது”

Hari: “ஐயோ , ஐயப்பா ஏன்டா adyar போய் சாப்பிட்டாய்”———————————————————————————–

We bought alphabet magnets which Hari and Eashwar play with. Hari learnt to write his name as “HARI”.

He wanted to write his name with magnet. He assembled “H – – I”, and couldnt find ‘A’ and ‘R’.

He started mumbling “இப்போதைக்கு இத Aஆ வெச்சுக்கலாம். இப்போதைக்கு இத R ஆ வெச்சுக்கலாம் .”

Then he excitedly shouted” Hey Eashwar… நான் என் பேர் எழுதியாச்சு பாரு”

It was “H Q X I”….. where Q and X was supposed to represent A and R…————————–

Meena used to teach flags and Hari & Eashwar used to get excited. They once get hold of a map with countries and flags.

Eashwar “அம்மா, Bhuvana எந்த flag ல இருக்கா?”, pointing his finger at the world map….. ————————————————————–

I used to roast fryums of different shapes in salt. Suddenly Eashwar came and told ” அப்பா அந்த square a circle a இருக்கற fryums பண்ணு.”

I was confused and looked at the stock. He was referring to octagon shaped fryums. ——————————————————————–

Hari was learning to pedal his new cycle. Suddenly he applied front brake and was jolted.

“ஏன்டா front brake பிடிச்சே”

Hari’s epic response “அது இருக்கே”————————————————

Hari was pedalling his new cycle and he thoughtfully asked meena

“அம்மா cycle le ஏன் charger இருக்கு”

When looked around, Hari was holding the brake wire,, ———————————–

Meena explained about the brakes in cycle. She explained about front and back brake.

Hari was thoughtful ” அம்மா ஏன் back brake.. Cycle back le போகாதே” …………………….————————————————————–

It was raining and snails had come out. Two snails were spotted in the compound wall. One of them was moving.

Hari: “மாமா நத்தை எங்க போறது”

Me “ஒரு நத்தையோடு வீடு இந்த மதில். இன்னொரு நத்தையோடு வீடு பின்னாடி மதில்லே இருக்கு . அதோட வீட்டுக்கு போறது .”

Hari : “ஆனா நத்தையோடு வீடு அதோட முதுகுல தானே இருக்கும்”

Me: @#$%& !!!???———————————————————————————-
