After few days of intense thought process, Sis came home with an innovative technique to teach Paachu addition. She bought home some strawberries. The plan was to ask Paachu on how many strawberries he wanted. And he would ask, say 5 and she’d give him only 3. Then Paachu would count and say that he need 2 more. Wow!! What an idea to teach addition. .

The plot unfolds before Paachu. “Tell me how many strawberries do you want ?” She asked him holding handful of strawberries. Paachu replied “One..” she handed over one strawberry, he finished it and then said “One more…” .Scene repeated till he was done with as many as he wanted.  Camera packup.

16-dec-11 : Genetic Variation :

Sis came home at 6 in the evening, spent some time with Paapu and Paachu and then their study time started. Sis said “ok, be at the study table”.

One end of the table :

Paapu took his bag. Placed it on the table. Took out his diary, tried to understand the instructions from the class teacher. Then took out the home work book from his bag, took out his sharpened pencil from the pink colored pencil box. And started writing neatly, erasing whenever the letters went below his legibility benchmark - calm, composed and more matured for the age.

Other end of the same table:

Paachu sat on his tiny chair swinging his leg in air in a yet-to-be-defined-rhythm. Waited patiently for the next instruction from his mom. His bag, book, pencil is not to be seen anywhere near the 100 meters radius circle. Sis reached the spot and said “Take out your home work book.” He innocently passed it to Paapu “bro, where is my bag ?” !!!!
