I had my Badminton matches going. These were inter corporate matches and I lost one match which was quite tough and went in third round tie. After loosing that Athu said to me Dad, still I love you.......

I was going to collect the report card of Athu today and he was quite nervous as it was clear that he had not performed well in the test. Before going to school he came and said that he had not written the exam correctly. Though I knew he was not studying I got a spike of irritation. I was about to bark on him, but then remembered the above incidence I thought a different thing. I took him near me and said I still love you.......

Athu's English.

When he scored the zero marks in the English class test I felt miserably  bad. , but another incident happened which was really amazing. I asked him that I and he will be talking in English whole day. For which he will be getting Rs 100 per day. On 12th he spoke three Marathi sentences for which I said that I will be deducting Rs 3 and paying him, on Rs 97/- Immediately he replied that tomorrow if I will be speaking all day English then You must give me Rs 103/- Rs 3 as Bonus.

Two things were very clear. This guy has bargaining skills and two he is applying mathematics very correctly. Because at this age very few people know that Rs 100 X 2 makes 200 and to cover up that I will have to get Rs 103/-

Excellent......
