I said that  Lord Vishnu's third avatar  who rescued Earth (Bhooma Devi) from Demon.
Demon Hiranyaksha Stole the Earth and hid in Ocean. God Vishnu appeared as Lord Varaha who is in the form of Boar. Lord Varaha slwe the demon and reterived Earth and Lifted her in his tusks and restored Bhooma Devi in her place in Universe.
Abhinav quickly asked me, where Demon hid the Earth? where the Fight between Lord varaha and Demon happened?
if it is not in Earth, then Where?
That means, We have water in Universe other than Earth !!!!!
Abhinav made interesting question. 
  • He asked about Kalaki Avatar?
Kalki2

I said that Kalki avatar is tenth avatar of God vishnu and he will appear at the end of Kali Yuga. He rides on White Horse with Sword.
Abhinav asked me, Whether horse will not extinct till the end of Kali Yuga? 
I said " I don't know and God has all the powers to make/destroy".
Abhinav is not convinced about Last Avatar and details i gave. 
(It is true because i am also having limited memory on the subject)

Relation between Alcohol and Alchemist

Movies and TV Serials are carrying "warning" messages against Liquor drinking and Smoking. Actually it is good idea to have it (misusing by giving in small font, such a way it will be unnoticed). It provides awareness to all non drinkers, non smokers and warning bell to smokers and drinkers.
Abhinav knew that Smoking damages lungs and it even kills it by giving Cancer, TB....such a dangerous diseases. But he started asking " What they are drinking?". the conversations as goes below.
Abhinav:  What they are drinking ? 
Me: They are drinking  "Cool Drinks".
Abhinav: Then, why they are showing warning messages?
Me: It is Alcohol, not an ordinary cool drinks. Alcohol drinking is dangerous to Health.
Abhinav: What will happen?
Me: It spoils Liver and Kidney. People will die if both parts failed.

Abhinav: How they are making alcohol?
Me: They are making from Fruits, some Cereals / Grains...etc.
Abhinav: Those are good for Human. How it becomes Alcohol?
Me: They keep those and let it rot over a time ( I assumed that he may not understand fermentation process). Then it becomes Alcohol.
Abhinav: I knew it  Daddy....Because in Alchemist app, Fruits + Time is called Alcohol. 


He seems convinced that "Alcohol is dangerous for health".

Swimming

As a Parent, we planned to give extra curricular activities to Abhinav but not before the Age of 5. It would be stress to him both physically and mentally. Thus, we decided to give all coaching class after his 5th Birthday. We also decided that “No more study oriented courses” because he is already spending most of his time in school. As per all this conditions and his wish list, we put him in Swimming Academy. It happened that Academy also newly started in our area.
It was a Yearly membership (Rs 6000) which includes coaching of all styles and Daily access to Pool except holidays. Abhinav was little fearful in first 5 days and he started enjoying with Pool ring and also 3 feet depth pool side. But it was short-lived; coach put him without ring and in 7 feet depth and he started getting his fear factor and he used to cry through out training session. Almost it happened for 2 months.
During that time, we skipped few classes due to his wish and our unplanned things. Chennai Flood also accounted 2 month break in his swimming class.But he started enjoying his swimming after few days of particular stroke. Abhinav is fast learner and he is good teacher too.
He learnt Breast Stroke, Free Style, Back Stroke and Butterfly stroke. Now he is not even coming out of pool and he make us wait every week. Abhinav also has reservations on certain coach. He likes Naveen Master most, he dislikes Siva Master most. But almost all coaches are friendly.
Abhinav shown his swimming skills in two places viz. Souparnika river, Mookambikai Temple and Kumbakarai Falls. He swam without any hesitation and he displayed his fearless swimming strokes.
