I have a little nephew-just 6 years old....He is so cute and so funny. He sometimes speaks like a wise old man,as if he has delved into the sharp insights of human mind. You simply can't stop laughing at him at those times and it seems to me that he too enjoys it. And yet again, most of the times he is his real little self.
A few days ago,he came from school,in an ecstatic mood. He has got 8 out of 10 in class test and got a "good" from his teacher. He was almost jumping with joy,when he came to my aunt,and told her,"just see!! just see! The boy who used to get 0,1,2 in tests,has today recieved 8!! Just see that!!"
Really a baby,isn't he?
One day,when Ani (his name is Anindya..so from that Ani) came to my house, he happened to notice a mini television on a shelf. He asked me,"why is this television so small? Why it is not like a normal one? "
Before I could answer,he himself had got it. With an enlightened face,he said,"I know why!! It's for the kids coming to your house. Such a TV is suitable for little kids only!!"
Lo!!!!!
Ani is very observant,and a keen listener as well. He will listen to each and every word you are discussing in front of him, and then will pass his wise comments. You can understand how it feels like to hear his kiddish comments on serious issues.
It so happened that,a boy in the neighborhood of my mama's (maternal uncle) house had committed suicide. One day, my aunts and others were discussing this sad incident, and were saying that the condition of the deceased boy's parents was only slightly redeemed by the fact that they had another kid...How shattering and totally unbearable would it have been for them, had the deceased boy been their only child...They would have found it meaningless to survive then.
Ani heard all these conversations and then like a wise old man,he nodded and said,"Yes,absolutely true. That's exactly why an aeroplane has got two propellers..If one goes wrong,another is still there"
Now,what a comparison to make!!!
I think,Ani loves to give queer answers to anything said to him, just to amuse others.
A few examples :
My aunt one day,told ani,"Your father is always so busy!! Today he is going to Delhi,tomorrow to Bangalore,next day to Mumbai...He his always on the move..No time to sit and relax with family members!"
Ani's prompt reply : "Earth is also moving continuously,So dad is earth !!!"
Ani and his family once went to Haridwar. There they were staying in Bharat Sevashram. Now,ani had noticed that all people address the hermits as "Maharaj".
One day,ani needed to call one maharaj,but the problem was that,he had forgotten the word "maharaj". So instead,he called him,"O rajkumar, Rajkumar!!Can you hear me?"
"Maharaj" replaced with "Rajkumar" !!!
