It was a simple task - one hour a day, a simple exercise of revising simple alphabets and numbers. No rocket science and no tests. But my darling boy just cannot remember that a "ghor" is a "House", a "net" is a "net" and not a "bat", a "sankh" is a "snail" and a "chain" is a "zip". And this after repeatedly going on with the corrections every day for at least 10 days 5 times a day. Ok once, twice, thrice...even ten times...but fifty times is a bit too much! And that too the last five times being in the span of the last 20 mins. Ask him what is Red Rangers name and he will tell you in a flash that it is Jayden! Ask him what is the name of the fat sheep in "Shaun the Sheep" and he will tell you without blinking an eyelid. So he isn't short of memory!
And in the other room, his saviours, my mom-in-law and grand mom-in-law sit with baited breath, thanks to the incessant howling of their darling "Sonar Gopal", who makes it a point to shout so loudly, without any provocation, that it reaches their ears. I mean, honestly...you know he is just being stubborn in not saying the things you expect him to say...but how do you control your temper???? You can't hit the child...thank god the Indian Government is still not as touchy! I would really like to wonder how the Norways, USAs, and UKs of the world deal with obstinate and spoilt brats like these!!!! And saviours like the ones they have!!!!
