“Ma’am yesterday my dad bought me a power rangers morphin gun…” chirped my 4 year old pupil…
“Thats nice sweetheart…” I replied.
“Do u watch power rangers?”
“No …i dont….”
“Why not? Kya aapko power rangers achee nahi lagte?”
Now as i’m still wondering wat 2 say….
“Y? U don’t have Jetix channel in ur tv?” he quips..
“Well I don’t know…”
“Ma’am aapko yeh bhi nahi pata ki aapke tv me kaunsa channel aata hai?!!” exclaims the disbelieving toddler…
“Well…i watch tom n jerry on cartoon network…”‘ I retort defensively…desperately trying to preserve my semi-goddess image in his inquisitive heart…
“Hmmmm…. do u watch gali gali sim sim??”
” O my God…y am i being drilled by this chutanku?…” I wonder…forcing my brain to think of a suitable reply…”Hmmm…yes I do…” I smile…thanking God that maybe now the merciless driling will b over…
But it was not to be…
“Accha batao…ye kaun se channel par aata hai?” he questioned…brows furrowed in suspicion…
“Ummm….disney channel??” I answered doubtfully… praying fervently that my reply b correct…
” No ma’am…it comes on pogo…”.. he corrected me idealistically…dashing all my hopes..n making me feel as if i was unaware of the most important insights of life…
“Hmmm….gud…. lets start with the prayer…”I said…trying to salvage my sinking esteem…
“Whew…that was worse than giving an mba interview…”…I thought…n smiled at him…
He smiled his oh-so-charming smile… n dashed away to tell his friends…”Do u know ma’am doesn’t know…..”
As i was about to start with the prayer…another inquisitive mind threw a sixer…
“Ma’am , where do u think Ash will go for his next pokemon match…?”
….”Well…ummm…….”…i ponder on hopelessly….
Another barrage of questions keeps flying at me…
” Ma’am y do v open r mouths wide wen v sing??”
” Ma’am y do u wear jeans ? Dimple ma’am wears suits…”
“Ma’am y r not wearing ur lenses today…?”
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh…. well who says patience cannot b developed…?
A new subject to be introduced in teacher’s training…” Idiot’s guide to pogo n cartoon network….”…n oh not to forget pogo n other cartoon channels too….

I guess you should also see the Reliance ad,on the same lines.Anyways it is also great to know that if the interest of the kids are caught on,they can do anything,they can do anything.Thats why nowadays most of the ad campaigns hover around children.
Hey Teachers!eave the kids alone,all in all you”re just another brick in the wall!
No I”m not a kid.
Do give in your valuable comments for my blogs..I”d truly appreciate it

I am pleased to find so much patience. My daughter must be asking some very silly questions and its a bliss to hope that her teachers are reacting like you. God bless you, Teacher!
Oh you bet, patience is the synonym for children. Aur kya m”am aap cartoon nahee dekhtee?? Aiyoo.. tch tch ; )
