"Hey
baby wotz up?" I asked my 4 year old nephew who was pensive in thought. We
were travelling to banglore from vizag and he loathed to part with the beach.
"No
disturb. I yam vor-king " he tapped his index finger against his temple.
"ooooo.
So wotz the plan genius? I coaxed him.
" I yam
plane-ing to build a beach in Banga-luru" he disclosed his brainwave.
"whoa!!
Master stroke. How do u intend to do it?" I asked enthusiastically. He
winked at me as if he were a baby einstein and I were his only pupil. He pulled
out a purse string bag loaded with silvery sand and doled out "I wud steal
sand from all countries and build a beach in banga-luru".
I never saw
this coming. So I tumbled with belly bursting laughter. When I recovered from that spell of gelastic
seizures, I said "No doubt u wud beat Ratanji Tata and Vijay Maalya sum
day but honey wot about vater?" I asked him feigning innocence.
Just then my
S-I-L bought some water from the vendor and my brother smirked "Look! His
mother started saving water for him. Thats wot I call Mothers love". He
exuded honey coated sarcasm.
The baby
einstein however dismissed my brother with a silly flick of his hand and said
"I wud find a way to make lats aaf voter in my secret lab" he
whispered. Amazed at his prowess I looked at my brother whose chest was jutting
out with fatherly pride.
"Does
he know the chemistry of H2o?" I just couldn't believe my own eyes and
ears. I learnt the chemical formula when I was in my secondary high school and
here is my nephew, a kindergartener talking some fine chemistry.
"May be
he does...may be not" my brother plays diplomatic.
"He is
in to Dexter's laboratory these days" my S-I-L added that last straw which sent us all in to
another fit of laughter. Sometimes a stone thrown in the dark hits the target BANG ON!
