I was sitting in a train, waiting for it to start. Near me sat a small gal and her mother, she was asking questions as children do...her mother was keep answering her question ..myself sitting near them and listening to their talks ..
Gal asked her mother, "amma train yeppo start aagum?"
mother said, "The train will start when we start pushing."
The child opened his big eyes in surprise, "nejama?" "Of course," She said. "Unless we push, it doesn't start."
"appo vanga thallalam," gal exclaimed.
"Just a minute," mother said. "The passengers are not all on. I'll tell you when to push."

Mother watched for the signal light at the station and heard the station master's shrill whistle. Then she told the gal, "Now! Push for all you'r worth."

The gal and her mother started to push in the direction of the engine. They pushed and pushed against the back of the seat .... and soon a contented smile lit up the Gal's face. The train was moving ... very slowly at first, but then gaining speed little by little....
Her mother congratulated the lad on her success. "We DID it! We DID it! She said..

"haiyya train pogudhu" she exclaimed. The Gal looked immensely pleased with herself. Her mother did not have the heart to tell him about the monstrous engine chugging up in front. Eventually the gal would find out for herself with time..

Would like to tell another incident which took place about 7 years before when I was doing my gradutation… During those days after college myself and my sister used to take tuition …lots of children used to come ..in those group of children there was one boy named Karthik..he was our neighbor's boy..

One Sunday evening though it was off day for tuition too but as karthik was having examination next day so unique class was arranged for him on his parent request..
I could remember well I was taking science subject and he has to memorize some animals name…but karthik was not at all interested to study on that day..
Niether I was able to make him study as in case if i say something karthik would say just opposite to resist it..
To have some break thought to divert from subject .. hence started to talk about issues other than subject
I said, " karthi periya aal aagi nee enna pannuva." ( with some excitement)
“nan vandi otuvain” karthik said..
( I don’t know what to say next) ..again
I said, " sari karthi nee neraya mark vangune na class la ellam clap pannuvangala."
“yenaku clap onnum vaindam”he said..
Again to say something …
I said ” karthik nalla padikanum ..nee sikirama padichitain na akka choclate tharuvain”
“yenaku choclate onnum vaindam”He said
That small boy has decided not to study …after struggling with him for about 1 hour I lost my patience and called my sister..my sister used to beat children quite good..”nalla vangunna from her” after that also “tas se mas aagala” he was same as previous..atlast we failed and asked to go to his home..
After lots of efforts we managed to make him to come to track because of his parents request..
Later due to lack of time we had to stop tuition.... most parents came and requested to continue tuition but we have no other go other than to say sorry to them..
That boy who used to speak so much when he was kid is just opposite now he has become quite calm ..
If we analyse children activities we can find variety of behavior… no need for special attention ..then n there we can notice it..
whatever it is kids have their own world..the most excellent stage which we pass through… If we have some time machine ....i am sure most would love to go back to their childhood days..again to go back is mere an imagination..the bitter fact.....
