Spiritual Philosopher!!

God as obscure object; questionable subject enforced ritual and beautiful feeling has entered into my little ones life.  I have tried  not to be forceable on the subject yet have made possible steps to promote the enchanting ideas believing in an higher conscience.
His attractions towards have God have had many ups and downs. But the recent questions and mode of thinking is very thought provoking. In general, Nature has made him a great thinker.
How questions makes me think he is budding scientist/Engineer.  But his Why questions are making me go crazy.
He had questions as these in various situations.

Why does the tree grow?? (This was clearly not a How question)

For him, King and God are one for the way their style of dressing.

Why God does not talk??

I told him. Stay quiet and you will hear him. After brief moments, he said he still cannot hear him. ;-) I said to myself "Thank God. He is still a budding philosopher"

Yesterday, when we went to temple. He had million questions on the God.
"Why is God saying hello". It funny to notice to the eyes of the little one, the blessing pose with one hand seemed like a hello.

Hail the king! Hail the God!! Hail our ancestors and their philosophy!!!

Ringing around the buzz words

Ringing around the buzz words


.com and internet are buzz words with my little boy. He wants to search internet for Cake recipes and passionate about cooking.

Abhinav got his first watch this weekend. He did the selection by himself. He finalised a red watch with Spiderman dial amidst my repeated distractions and temptations .We did not realise that it flashes light until we got back home. He was all excited about it until he discovered a small owner's manual with the Disney logo.
Somehow, that disturbed him, " When did Spiderman become a Disney guy?". Looks like the question was constantly nagging him that he kept asking that same question to my mother who called from India, his dad after he came back home and repeatedly to me. I was happy about two things apart from his observation

• the aspect that he could not digest or accept against the thing he had already believed deeply.
• the point that he kept nagging and was disturbed until he got a promising answer to it.

Finally, I had to breakdown the complex terms like acquisition to buying and further simper explanations. Adding to his existing confusions, there was this MARVEL logo in the package too. It took around three to four rounds of explanation before he seemed convinced.

The Best part of it is when he asked, "How did you come to know this?" Love you my boy!!
Then I had to explain that I had the same doubt when Divya aunty shared the same information with me that they went to Spiderman ride in Disneyland. He was convinced well "only" when I said I checked in internet also. After the double confirmation, he seemed completely convinced.It seemed that the word internet ringed the bell to change his deep (belief) understanding :-)

Hero and Villain

Nowadays, my little hero is very big fan of tamil movies especially the masala ones.

He was big fan of "Ko" even while he was  2 years old. He always used to love to run across the hall for the introduction theme music when hero chases the gang of robbers. The next on list was Thuppaki. He loved the stunts, music and heroine ;-) I remember that we were very excited when he watched the whole Singam - 2 movie with us on a movie night. He had few lots of favorite songs depending on the period of concern.  Neeram, Endrendrum punnagai, Singam dance tops that list.

Now, he has new outlook on tamil cinema. All this happened with the watching Kaththi movie in theaters. He loves the songs, the hero with the red shirt(that's how he calls it) and most of all the theme music and coin stunt. As the outcome, we enact the scene with lights off; music at the background and laundry coin box everyday evening. Abhinav is hero, me - the friend who switches off the lights and Nambi being the villain. It is so much fun seeing the little one so serious (with the music on) and of course hitting  hubby ;-)

He loves dancing for the dance numbers. So Nambi introduced him to "What a Karuvad" song  from VIP movie. He absolutely loves all movements that the actor makes in the song. He loves the high pitch "what a Karuvad" and the terminology "Sutta vadai". There are days where one could hear him continuously murmur the song. From the song,  the attention moved to that movie. He wanted to see the movie. He could not sit still to watch the whole movie. But he loved the way the actor reacts to the yells and scoldings of his father and highly attracted towards the word "Dhanda soru" meaning "sluggish person". (Uff!! It was tough to explain the meaning of the word)

Along side comes the movie Pokkiri(pronounced as Pokkidi), were he loves the Vadivelu comedy. He calls him "silly guy" and loves every comedy track of the movie. Fortnight back, I saw those scenes atleast a dozen times). I am made to enact the whole scene sequence where he is hit by the 2 guy and the girl(thats how he narrates it).

This morning during his daily chores, he narrated his favorite scenes of which each character in that movie. Following was the conversation we had:

Abhinav: That movie where the hero drinks the flower vase.
Me: ?!?!?
(After recalling all the movies he knew of.....found that) it is Pokkiri...
Abhinav: huh...yes...Pokkidi...
Amma...what is pokkidi pongal like??Is that a pongal? y do they call it like that...
Me: (Gave all evading answers.. He interrupted in the middle)
Abhinav: My favorite scene is when the hero  shouts "Help, help and help" in the elevator.
 Me: Why is that favorite?
Abhinav: That is silly.
Me: What is silly about that?
Abhinav: Hero shouting for help is very silly. Does hero shout for help?
Me(dumbstruck): Mhmm...huh!
Abhinav: Tell me...does hero shout for help?no...right...Thats why it is silly....
Me: uff!!
Abhinav: (Laughs) For the silly guy, I like when he is hit by 2 boys and the girl....so
Abhinav: Also i like the heroine
    (in that scene.?always. Before i could question further)
Abhinav: (smirks) You know when I like the villain??? (continues to Laugh) 
When he is dead...
Me: ?!?!###$%%
