The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page!

And India is the most fascinating and happening chapter in that book…the part at which one just cannot put down the book!!!

Interesting Vocabulary…

All the women who went with WOW to Istanbul/Greece would know and will definitely smile on reading this….

One of the WOW women had a really interesting vocabulary…she is never one to be at a loss of words … she would just say the first word that comes to her mind to describe any situation / place / thing…And the best part is she always managed to get her idea to us…

What was even more interesting was the confidence with which she said these words… the other person would actually think that she is right and I have the wrong word or pronunciation.

Referring to my blog on Istanbul she writes – “your article was good but i just blazed or glazed or grazed thru it. will read it leisurely some other time.”

Anokhi

Anokhi means Unique… I know this 5 year old girl so aptly called Anokhi…she never ceases to amaze me with her talk, her ideas and most importantly her behavior…I could go on and on narrating her anecdotes…but there is one which has literally made me her fan…

We were supposed to go out for Lunch once and were waiting for her mom to return from work…she wanted to play Carom with me. The Carom board was lying behind the bed so she asked her dad to take it out for us…Dad says...anokhi…mom will be home soon and we will be going out…there is no point in getting the Carom board out…

What kind of a reaction would most of us expect at this time from a 5 year old…a tantrum...maybe some screeching and crying and sulking….But her reaction was mind blowing…she’s like … (in a very encouraging tone) dad…you can do this…you are a genius at getting the Carom board out…dad u r a genius* 5 times….
She left him no choice!!!
