Kids

Kids behave in different ways; ways that are as inspiring as confounding they seem to be.

My four year old niece studies in second standard and her teacher was giving a Hindi language dictation to the class. The teacher dictated the word Engine in Hindi and my niece instead of writing that wrote the word “Railgadi” in her copy. As you would know that Engine is called “Railgadi” in Hindi. My niece applied her brain, thinking that since this is a Hindi class “Railgadi” would be a suitable word as compared to Engine. God know’s how at such a tender age she can think in these lines. Beats me!

Another incident from the same class. The teacher dictated the word “Mandir” in Hindi which means temple, but she wrote the word “Ganesh” instead. "Ganesh" is one of the gods in Hindu Mythology and is revered all over India. I was laughing rolling on the floor when my sister narrated this incident to me. Come on. This being a dictation class, in which she just needs to write what is being dictated, and hats off to her to be so innovative.
