Poor Chinni or poor wifey?

It was just another shopping Saturday. On the way back to home Chinni had filled her tummy with 4 idlis resulting in sleepy mood. She asked N to tell her stories. And this request for stories is increasing day by day.

Now N doesn't know much of stories and diverted her mind with some other talk. Chinni insisted for stories, but N said "I don't know stories".

Now can you guess what could be Chinni's response ? It was unbelievable and quite astonishing.

"ಮತ್ತೆ ಬೇರೆ ಯಾರು ಹೇಳಬೇಕು ನನ್ನಗೆ ?"

Translating it to English "but who else will tell me if not you?"

Why do you want to eat all chocolates?

Chinni finished dinner yesterday and had 3-4 chocolates in her hand. As soon as she drank water, started eating one after the other chocolates without leaving any gap. 

I asked why are you eating all of them? you can eat them tomorrow.

She wisely replies - somebody else may eat them!

Dad, you are great

As we were getting out of the hospital room, Dad stopped at the another patient he was sharing the room with and says "I am also a CML patient since 10 years, look at me. Don't worry, you will be alright". And I smiled.

The other person was a young lad with no hair, possibly lost them during Chemotherapy. Even though Dad is suffering so much, he showed a sliver lining to the budding lad.

You are great Dad!

Bheemeshwari Outing

Will remember this outing basically for the adventure I did, Zip-Line.

Zip-Line is hanging on to a rope and dropping down, with all the safety measures in place, since I am a citizen and not a commando :)

So, first I had a climb up a tree and then slide down by a swaying rope around 40 feet above the ground. I saw all my colleagues doing it and claiming it to be easy. Me too felt the same. I just agreed and climbed up the tree.

As soon I reached the top, I was totally surprised by the depth and literally got scared. Told this instructor that I am not going to do it. He tried to convince me but failed. Then he tried to blackmail me saying I can't get down until the remaining have finished. I just stepped back and kept staring at the depth, while one  of my colleagues slide through the rope. I could some how gather courage and agreed.

And I did it. The first 2 seconds before start were scary, but once I started sliding everything was fine. I enjoyed it.

I am really trying life, out of my comfort zone.

Saturday Morning Questionnaire

My little princess wakes me on a Saturday morning at 8 am saying "sun is shining, wake up". There is no other go, I just had to wake up and start having a conversation with her. Or it has to be N who has to start playing with her.

So the last Saturday, she woke me up with her dialogue. And the conversation started. I don't know why it started, but she just popped up a question and it went something like this

ಚಿನ್ನಿ : ಕಿವಿ ವೊಳಗೆ ಏನು ಇದೆ ?
ಪಪ್ಪಾ : ಕಿವಿ ವಳಗೆ "ear drum" ಇದೆ
ಚಿನ್ನಿ : "drum" ಯಾರು ಬಾರಿಸುತಾರೆ

Translated version
Chinni: What is inside ear ?
Pappa: There is ear drum
Chinni: Who beats ear drum?

I just couldn't stop myself laughing.

The questions didn't stop. I don't know how these kids get such questions. They think out of the box and I don't even do it at my office. If I start thinking like that and put some thoughts at work, in no time I will become architect.

ಚಿನ್ನಿ : ಕಣ್ಣು ವೊಳಗೆ ಏನು ಇದೆ  ?
ಪಪ್ಪಾ : ರೇಟಿನ ಇದೆ
ಚಿನ್ನಿ: ಚರ್ಮಾ ತೋರಿಸಿ , ಇದರ ವೊಳಗೆ ಏನು ಇದೆ ?
ಪಪ್ಪಾ : "bone" ಇದೆ

And a lot more questions, which I forgot before penning it down here :(. Too bad I am.
