Daughter's Wisdom Nuggets - 2

An yet another dining table conversation...


Me in all my brooding avatar after discussing some events...

Me : "Zaara don't be so attached to teachers or fella classmates. Years change and your sections also change. You must go with the flow!"

Z : "But why should I not get attached. At times I may find a favorite person in the process, with whom I would love to talk more..."

Me little surprised: "Ya, you will find such, but is there any recent favorite person!"

Z: "Ya , my grade 3 teacher . I meet her in every snacks period!"

Me : Really?!

Z: Ya , I still meet her. We talk. One day she asked me , how's your grade 4 Zaara. I said , "Mam!Busy, suffocating mammm!"

Me: wow, then?!😅

Z: She laughed and said, tell me about it Zaara and we chatted away.

Me: So you guys talk like friends now then!?

Z: Ya. She is not my class teacher, so we talk more now.

Me: So you feel good then!?

Z: Not just good maa! It feels fresh, a new feeling....like how you finish a book and start a new one, or how you end a lesson and start a new lesson, I feel that refreshing!!!


I WAS MIND BLOWN AND COMPLETELY ZAPPED TO SAY THE LEAST! I didn't want to amend her thoughts or add my thoughts. I just let that be...

It feels like it is not me who is teaching, but my always talkative 🦜 kid is teaching me - more about relations, friends, or emotions !

Uhh! Freedom of Speech and Expression - what a beautiful freedom to have and exercise, isn't it?!! And a child reflects it every once in a while and makes us realise the beauty of it!

Today is 78th Independence day for India ( India became independent on Aug 15th 1947, 🇮🇳) - Happy Independence day. A plea to all to have the sense and sensibilities to recognise and understand the differences between patriotism and hyper nationalism!⛓️‍💥

✌️🇮🇳🕊️

What do you think about this ? I always love to hear back. A comment or a brickbat boosts me to write more but the mud slinging shall be promptly vacuumed.

Thanks for your time :)
