Harris Questions

Guest Post
Subburaj is one of my best friend. He is father of Harris. He shared few smart questions which was asked by Harris. I thought of Sharing this in my blog and hence so.
Conversation between Subburaj and Harris as follows.
Question 1:
Harris: How mouth is speaking ?

Subburaj: Because mouth has Tongue. it speaks. Subbu also demonstrated with his mouth about difficulty (impossibility) in Speaking if Tongue does not move inside mouth.
Harris: (Looks convinced, but not fully). Okay. Then why Animals are not speaking though it has Mouth and Tongue?
Subburaj: Started blinking like me and he replied that " God does not bless them for speaking ability".
Harris: Then i pray to god for animals. so they can speech.


Question 2:
Subbu is driving, Harris is also with him. Conversation as below when Subbu stopped his bike due to Traffic Signal (Signal is faulty, hence Commuters followed Signal by understanding)

Harris: Signal should be either Red, green or Amber. But here, why all are on?
Subbu: Signal is faulty. Thats why?
Harris: Faulty means, nothing should be ON. hey, you are lying....
Subbu: Aaramichutanda...Blinking and started bike....

" Do Work Properly Daddy"

Summer Vacation:
From March 20, Abhinav is having Summer Vacation until June first week. It is a wonderful time for kids. Abhinav is enjoying at Indoor and Outdoor based on time. Lets come to the Point.
During his School days, Abhinav and Priya Used to Leave home before me. Conversation will be like this while leaving house.

Me: Bye Abhinav ! Bye Priya !
Me: Abhinav, Please do Study Properly and Enjoy the day with your friends.
Abhinav: Bye daddy !
Since Summer Vacation, I (only) leave home: Conversation will be like this while I am leaving house.
Abhinav: Bye Daddy !
Abhinav: Do Work Properly !
Me: Silently accepting his advice and " Bye Abhinav, Enjoy your day "

PS: What you sow is what you reap.

They became Uncles

Brothers and Uncles
Yesterday we had Sudden Voltage drop at home around 930pm. Air conditioner went off, so me and abhinav went outside to enjoy Stars. My neighbours also came outside.
So we were having chit-chat and talking about politics, Office work .....etc (you know it ). Abhinav was with me with non active listening mode & jumping around. Thank God Power came to normal condition and eventually i said Good Night (bye :)) to neighbour. But Abhinav kept his silent and failed to say Good night.

I asked Abhinav during bedtime " Why you did not say "Good Night" to Annas (brothers - they are neighbours). Abhinav said Quickly that " they are not Annas (brothers). Since they finished college, they are Uncles.
I smiled and tried to educate him the difference between Brothers and uncles. But he is adamant. His brain is tuned to " Brothers are School going persons", "Uncles are College going or office going persons"

Snakes & Ladders

Broken Ladder
Children always like Board games especially Snakes & Ladders. Abhinav also got two board games viz Snakes & Ladders and Guess the Code during his Last Birthday. He likes to throw Dice. Children normally never accepts defeat, Abhinav is highly adamant on accepting defeats in board games.
I used to tell him that it is just game. So do not take very seriously. Sometimes he listens, remembers and takes it easily. But most of the occasions, he just swaps the Pawns and he became winner.
Today he played snakes & Ladders with his Grand Mother. As usual, he is in mood of unable to accept the Defeat. We thought that he is going to change the pawn. But he replied very diplomatically to his grandma that "do not use that Long ladder, it is damaged, you may fall".

Everybody laughed and Enjoyed his Diplomacy.

PS: I was part of some fun games which was conducted as part of 2 days Team Building training session at L&T. I am not able to accept my team defeat because of biased judges. Genetics has major role :).

Piggy Bank

Savings
Abhinav and me were having Evening walk. I was teaching him about Company names. He was pointing randomly few objects and asked me about their Company names.
Suddenly he pointed a car and he was asking " What is the Company name of car which is having overlapped 4 circles?"
I replied him that It is Audi car which is very expensive. I dont have much money to buy this.
He replied very quickly, You can take money from my piggy bank which is sufficient to by many cars.
I was really happy to hear his helping tendency and awareness & usefulness of Savings.

Papaya "Stolen"

Garden
Abhinav planted many plants in Garden Viz Papaya tree,Chilli, Solanum nigrum (மனத்தக்காளி), Jasmine, Neem...etc He is so caring on those plants. he used to go near by and talk to them. He like watering those. On Lazy days, I used to replace him for watering plants.
Papaya grown really fast. Refer below picture.
Today somebody stolen the circled papaya and Abhinav felt very bad. Abhinav wants to put them in jail who took his papaya.

Ps: he cared the plant and loss of fruit is intolerable for him. Parents cared 20+ years on their daughter and if somebody took her by the word "LOVE". How parents will feel? Think about it. If he really loved her, Convince the parent and Marry her. Running is really BAD decision.

வெண்ணிலவே வெண்ணிலவே

SLEDAI EVENT
Abhinav, Me and Priya were Watching "Thenum Palum" event in Kalaignar TV today morning. Played Songs are 80's, mostly having "வெண்ணிலவே" in first line.
Songs like
1. En Iniya Ponnilavae
2. En Vanilae ore vennila
...and goes on.

I just asked Abhinav, Do you Know What is "வெண்ணிலா"? which is coming in all the songs.
Abhinav Replied in no time " வெண்ணிலா " is Ice cream Flavour daddy.

Priya and Me Laughed on this Sledai event.

ஓம் முருகா

Correlation Snippet:

Priya was reading Vikatan Magazine Yesterday. Abhinav was sneaked in and Replied as below. Abhinav was pointing Letter "ஓ" in Book.

Mummy, If nearby Spear (Vel in Tamil) is there, it becomes Lord Muruga.

Priya was so happy to see his correlation on devotional front.

அவ்வையாரின் ஆத்திசூடி

ஆறுவது சினம்

I Decided to Teach Abhinav about ஆத்திசூடி as a replacement of bed time stories. Thanks to Anon for giving me ஆத்திசூடி App in flash format which is pictorial explanation. Everynight Abhinav gets 5 of them. Yesterday, i started and He liked to ask questions on each one.
1. அறஞ்செய விரும்பு
2. ஆறுவது சினம்
3. இயல்வது கரவேல்
4. ஈவது விலக்கேல்
5. உடையது விளம்பேல்

He understood and we agreed to sleep. But Abhinav is so mischievous and Playing on me as a Horse Rider ( Pulling my Shirt as "Kadivalam"). Priya got angry and Commanded him to get down from me and " go for Sleep".

Abhinav Quickly replied " ஆறுவது சினம் "....

Priya Blinked and we all laughed a lot.

PS: கோபம் தணியத் தகுவதாம். கோபத்தில் இருக்கும் பொது செயலும் பேச்சும் நமது கட்டுபாட்டில் இருக்காது. அமைதியை கடைபிடிப்பது சாலசிறந்தது. Abhinav reminded this back to us.

Do I have Long Hand? Girls Act?

Long Hand

It happened during Last Saturday when me and Abhinav were having our Recreation time at Park. Abhinav and My Mom had conversation on mobile. Excerpts of Conversation below.

Abhinav : We bought Laddu and Jilabi in Saravana bhavan Sweet Stall. I saw Big Laddu in stall.
My Mom : Abhinav, I also want it. Can you give?
Abhinav : You are in Andipatti. How can I give from Chennai? Do I have that much long hand to give Laddu from here? You come here, i will give....
My Mom : Lauging on his innocence. (Feeling Happy)

Girls Act
Conversation continued on Mobile.

Abhinav : what Gokul is doing? (Gokul is my Younger Bro)
My Mom : He is Ironing his Shirt.
Abhinav : Ironing is Girls Activity. Why he is doing? Abhinav Giggled and he also told that " Is Gokul a Girl?"....ha ha ha
My Mom : Blinking what to answer.....And..At your house your mom is helping your father. But here i dont know how to Iron? So Gokul is Doing.

My Mom is trying to educate him that it is not girls job. it is common job. But abhinav did not listen to her.

PS: Kids are Memorizing each act and visuals " How it happened?" and it forms their base. If any wrong base, it certainly impacts in near future.

How it will Run?

Hand and Leg

Vijay TV Serials lined up. Priya is keenly watching, Suddenly Abhinav Disturbed her.

Abhinav: Amma, How Hand & leg will run?
Priya: Hand and leg will not run. They are parts of body.
Abhinav: TV la " எனக்கு கை கால் ஓடலை" nu solluranga. appdina enna amma?
Priya: Blinking like me and laughing with me...
Me: I managed the situation by saying " they told for Comedy "

Abhinav and Marina Beach

Marina Beach:

Beach is "An area of sand sloping down to the water of a sea or lake". But I will say that Chennai Marina beach is "Polluted Heaven". Last weekend, Me and Abhinav had a visit to Beach. Abhinav Made Loud noise openly on Beach to show his "Joy" and "Freedom". I wondered on his gesture, but we have been going out of the house almost every week. But still Abhinav Expressed his " Open Happiness".
It shown me " His in-depth desire on Ocean, Sea, Shells, Fish, Ship, Boat....etc".

Sea/Ocean is Big Sink of all noise and Currents, thats why People go there and share their Burdens, feel, Joy , Worries, Regrets....etc. It just vanishes ....

Few Pictures:

Google Celebrating My Birthday

Google!!! you also have a heart to wish individuals...you are so kind and nice.

BTW, Wonderful Initiative Google Team. You know exactly how to make friends and Money too.....

What is L&T?

I am Trapped

Abhinav asked me to miss office for a day. I told him that i will not get salary if I am not regular to Office.

Abhinav: What is Salary?
Me : Salary means Money which we get monthly for working in office.
Abhinav: Who gives your Salary? daddy!!
Me : L&T pays my salary.
Abhinav: L&T is one display in front of your office. How it will give Salary?
Me : OoHh. So i changed to " My Boss gives me Salary "
Abhinav: Whether Boss sits near to you?
Me : Nope. he sits little far from my place (Since abhinav visited my cubicle once, he knows where i sits in office)
Abhinav: is your Boss big or small?
Me : I replied He is Big?
Abhinav: replied with Laugh, So your Boss eats more food...Ha ha ha...
Me : also joined with his laugh.

PS: One irresponsible reply from our side make big difference in Kids mind. So we should not silly in answering. Even, if they dont understand, we should explain it properly and patiently. Kids are building their Information archive. it should be free from flaws.

Cigarette

Last Saturday (8th Mar), Me and Abhinav went to near by Tea Stall cum mini hotel to buy Medhu Vadai (since ven pongal @ Home). Tea stall also retails cigarettes and displayed some packs.

Abhinav: Daddy, See cigarette packs?
Me: OOOhh. "cigarette kudipathu" is bad for health.
Abhinav: I know it. See lungs picture displayed.
Some time Pause...
Abhinav:"Cigarette kudipathu" is wrong. "Cigarette Othuvathu is right". Do not talk wrongly daddy....Advicing me...
Me: as usual blinking and shared with Tea stall owner for LOL...

Why it is Bedroom?

Bedroom:

As usual, this was happened when Abhinav and me were having evening walk yesterday. Though it looks like Little kind of Mokkai, i just want to record this event for Memorable.
For some Comfort reasons, Bed and Steel Cot is seperated in our house. Cot is moved to Hall for Abhinav's Grand Mother. Bed is on floor at our Bed room.

Me: Talking to my mom about various things and explained this disassembly of bed and cot.
Abhinav grabbed my mobile and explained to my mom as follows.

Abhinav: It is not Cot room, so cot is moved to Hall. It is Bedroom, so Bed stays in room.

Me: ( sema mokkai and bulb for my mom!!!)

ஆப்பு

"ஆப்பு " (Aappu )- By Abhinav

Me and Abhinav was in position to receive his grand mother from Chennai Centeral station yesterday. While walking towards Bus Stop, I was talking to him that " we should catch bus, otherwise "Aappu" & Like last time we missed the Train due to Delayed Bus Service". Then i was showing him Police checking for license on the way.

Abhinav: What you mean by Aappu?
Me: Laughed and asked him How did you know this word?
Abhinav: Daddy, You only said while you were talking about bus
Me: (thinking, do i explain or will he grasp...)

Reached Bus stop. And waiting for 17M to Reach Central Railway station. First 27G crossed us and i kept quiet & awaiting for 17M.

Abhinav: We both have "Aappu" di. because you did not board the bus (27G).
