Learning...

What does “1” mean…nope its not theatrical post in any way…it’s just a casual observation from my current life’s normal day.

I have been with my kiddo nephew for a few weeks now…and its tough tough world. Not that he would bring the whole house down…cute kid that he is…the physical part and any anguish therein just goes off with a smile on his face or when he calls “mammiya” (“uncle”, oops I am getting old!!!). The difficult part is in telling him for example he is supposed to share his toys with others…I guess the feeling of sharing is not ingrained in human nature…I have often ended up asking silliest of questions on this very topic of what comes hardwired in brains/hearts to Jiju/sis/mum!!! To top it all, my use of logic has limited or next to nothing effect on him…so adult gibberish is a big waste. The look on his face when I do that is really one of the biggest mockery that I have faced. But it has been impressed upon me from credible sources that kids (Adi is just 2 yrs) do have a reasonable sense of reasoning and they do understand purest of emotions…love. I guess “Fear” is also an acquired feeling as kids would hardly know what to fear and why to fear from that object.

To top it all I am not even trying to teach Adi something. Mum/Sis/Jijs take care of that…I am just a silent observer who is trying to learn the intricacies of life at a new level all together. I would really like to see closely how they would teach a fully functional android and see which is easy.

I have seen my mum try and link the number “1” with counting…and all I can say is “its tough tough world”. Hats off to all the mothers and grand mothers … you are truly great and so special!!!

As for me and as for this moment…let me stash away my laptop from Adi…and try and teach him about sharing :P
