I: Hi Tisya !

Tisya : There’s a bad news bua..

I: Oh! What happened?

Tisya : You know! Earlier.. I mean, many many years ago gurgaon was a jungle.. no, half jungle and animals used to live here but now people are cutting houses and making buildings..

I: Cutting houses?

Tisya : O.. no no! I mean.. people are cutting trees and building houses and the animals are losing their habitat..

I: Ohh.. yes tisya, I know about that. It is sad. But wow! You know what habitat means.. What does it mean Tisya?

Tisya : It means a place where animals can breathe and live.

I: Yes yes.. good. So what is happening to their habitat now?

Tisya: They are losing their habitat and so the animals come in peoples’ homes. There is a girl in my class who was telling this. Animals like cheetah come in peoples’ homes and growl and open the fridge and eat because they don’t have a habitat and they are hungry.

I: What? No Tisya a cheetah can not open the fridge and is not interested in bread butter jam. Cheetah is a carnivorous animal.

Tisya: Yes.. carnivorous. But a monkey can! And cheetah..umm.. they still growl.. and I think they can open the fridge as well…
You know there is one boy in my class.. (something) Ganguly.. one time, when his mamu came to his place there came an animal in his house and the animal jumped and jumped on (something) Ganguly’s mamu!!

I: Ooo

Tisya: O.. mumma is saying that I should change and go to the washroom first and talk with you later..

I: Okay.. whenever you are free u may ask mumma to let you call me and speak..

Tisya: Okay bua .. bye bua..

I: Love you Tisya .

(And… She did call back ❤)

I: Hello

Tisya: Hello buaaaaa.. What happened bua?

I: I am not well Tisya

Tisya: Why are u not well?

I : It is the weather Tisya

Tisya: Ummmmm.. what is weather?

I : The days are too hot Tisya.. my throat is not fine..

Tisya: Do u mean there is a lot of smoke?

I: No Tisya.. i mean it is summers.

Tisya: Oo oo.. yes yes. Hot. Bua i vomitted today.

I: Ohh.. u did! What happened?

Tisya: Because it is too hot. Weather hot bua. Yellow yellow vomit came out.

I: (smiling) Why dont u go take rest?

Tisya: What?

I : Why don’t u sleep for sometime?

Tisya: But i already lied down bua. I lied down in the morning. I am fine now. Totally fine. I do not want to lie down.

I: Okay.. what will u do now?

Tisya : I will have fun. It is evening.

(Thinks)

Bua do you know if we concentrate on our work ( by which she meant worksheets) then power comes to us. And bua do you know what power is? Do you know lord krishna? He is a god bua who lives in the sky and power comes out of his hands. If we concentrate then human beings like Tisya can also become powerful.

I : Wow Tisya.. that is so true. Who taught you that?

Tisya: Kungfu Panda… yayyyyy… kungfu pandaaaaa…eeeee.. eee.. (extremely happy) I watched kungfu panda. It was there.

I : (joining in) yayyyy.. eee.. i love Kungfu panda too Tisya.

Tisya: Yesss. And jungle book. Have you seen jungle book?

I : Yes yes I have. ( I haven’t seen the movie though but I knew would be able to talk about it nevertheless)

Tisya: There is a tiger and he dies. In fire. Because lions n tigers cannot climb trees and he climbed n he fell bua.

I: Yes Tisya.. He did because he was not intelligent. Kungfu panda n Mowgli are intelligent.

Tisya : Yes bua. Ok bye bua. Park..?! Park!! Mmmuah mmuaah.. Bbye bua.

I: Love you Tisya.

Tisya : Love you buaa.

“Huh!
Holding on to the remnants of time you fool!
What do you think you were trying to do?
Holding someone responsible for what they had said once!
Are u blind to change?
You insufferable stuck-in-time-moron!”

“But it had to last forever…”

“What if there exists none.”

“But it trickles down everytime…”

“Yeah yeah you will learn.”
