flux and fly

A child is in flux, an adult is in fix.


Eva remembers a lot many things and she makes different associations which an adult mind cannot comprehend sometimes.

Like, one of our relative has to cut her leg due to an accident. Now and then, in her tales, different persons faces problem of cutting their legs. One day, we even play like if I have a cut leg and she walked with a cut leg.

She is adjusting her brain cells with the new information she has got, with as many ways as possible ways she can.

I was explaining : if we change places of number while doing addition or multiplication, the value does not change , from both the sides (cz we were working with sums of two numbers only. i.e.23 * 41 or 3421 +3721 ) ; using her first two fingers, she explained me : like this ? She has reversed her fingers.

New words and phrases attract her like anything. In one of Gijubhai’s stories, it comes like this : they have passed by the jungle (વન ને વગડો વતી ગયા). She has asked: what does mean passed by ? I explained with my an example, if someone is coming to our house and asks the address, I should say, if you are coming from Chikhodra, do not pass by the over bridge but if from Ganesh crossing, then pass by the bridge.

Eva : Then why don’t you speak like this when someone asks you the address ? Do so now onwards!

Application of the knowledge, you know !

And she has , don’t know how many, many versions of her favorite story : bikan sasli (fearful rabbit).

Sometimes the rabbit meets an uncle and go on singing, “ run, run !”

The Uncle would say, “ you sing well but your rhyme seems unfinished. “

So the rabbit goes back to the jungle and there it remembers the whole rhyme…dattan ,pattan….run uncle run.”



She enjoys the melody of the rhythm, a lot !
