Child chat

This sunday i met my bro , SIL , and my 5 year old nephew. Actually we know each other very well as from the calcutta days. There he was this crying stubborn crysome boy who would not have any friend to play with , as my Anna 's family itself had hardly any contacts with the neighbourhood. I rememeber he talking to the dogs and cats on the street and shouting at th balcony , then there it was his place , and harldy allowed any one to come into that .

After relocating to hyd he proudly introduced me to his friends , urmila , kalyan and bharat.There is also a mahesh who lives in the top floor , he is tall and plays only in evenings when there is a light.

Me : what do you play with daily?
Urmi : we have 2 cycles , one car .
Me : So you 4 play with 3 ..vehicles only..
Kalyan: I have a small bicycle.
Urmi : but it does not work
Bharat: Mahesh anna also plays with us, ..but he is big..
Me : what you play only with cycles and car..Don't you play ice-pice....

They are now puzzled what is ice-pice, but wont ask me what is it..
Instead they again tell me the whole bicycle's and car thing and mahesh.

Me : So where you go on your car and bicycle .

I am proudly taken over to their houses , car shed , cycle shed.

There are 4 brick houses with three bricks placed in pyramid shape ( triangle ) and double flooried shed for vehicles. In the first floor the cycles are placed and car is palced in second floor .

There is also a cycle path and car path seperate as they should not dash into each other . (info from bharat)
This path spiralled from the steps to Gate. ( its almost like railyway track u see)

Me : It looks like a railway track to me..

the 4 in unison say Noooooo it is a car path...

Oh how will car go in such a road..
then they point to me the edging lines ..the car wheels should be placed on them and there Will be gravel in between.

Man ..what a sound answer ..I didn't have any more doubts.
