Studytime

Getting Ash to do his homework is a major feat. Generally homework is given only on Fridays, but sometimes they come during the weekdays too. If I bring up the topic on Saturday morning, he promises he will do it in the afternoon since he has to watch MAD on Pogo and Art Attack on Disney channel. Afternoon his dad intevenes and says that the kid needs his sleep and evening there is an outing or some other programme, and by the time we feel the heat it is Sunday afternoon or night. Sometimes I request the services of V, who inspires more fear and loyalty in Ash.

He takes his own sweet time to do it, looking this way or that or talking in between. Sometimes he gives me the slip.

There he is, doing his Math homework one night. He even describes some of the numbers. If one is bigger than the other he says it is a father-son pair. 44 above, he says, are two friends who have had a fight and the first 4 is asking the other to come play. And there is V's calculator for the occasional distraction.

Of late, he is specialising on the 'teeth' portraits.

hi, sorry if i gave the impression I can drive a car. I DONT!!! And with a big car, i dont think i ever will. V has advised me to learn on the small car before we sell it off. Kerala, despite the rash driving one sees on the roads, would be a better place to practise as there is much less traffic.
