Before I left for Bangalore on 19th June(on flight 6E 637), I went to meet my cousin sister. She has two children - an elder son named Dev and a younger daughter named Paahi. My nephew is in U.K.G whereas my niece is enrolled in a playschool.
While my niece was busy studying me with curious eyes, my nephew instead wanted to chat. Here is a snippet:
Dev(to his mother): "Naam ki?" [What is his name?]
Me and sister(simultaneously): "Neel".
Dev: "Neel Aamstong? Je chaande gechilo?" [Neil Armstrong? Who went to the moon?]
Me: "Hae. Oi Neel. Aami o onek boro fan." [Yeah. That Neil. I am also a big fan.]
Sister: "Arey, tui aakhuno mone rekhesis." [You still remember?]
It is interesting how children's brain develop. My nephew has already realized that name identifies people. In some years, he will also realize that two people can have the same name. What also astonished me that his brain remembered the first person to walk on the moon.
The moon has intrigued him. Now, my nephew has truly become a human. He is fascinated by distant lands!
