words,thought!

My toddler again.Its a routine to go out in the evening and we fortunately live in a complex ,which sports with a lot of plants,trees and flowers.He loves this walk,he watches the plants,touches the leaves and flowers and if he sees a flower on the ground tries to fix it back on the plant. He can name about six flowers and three plant sand can recognize the coconut tree. Last evening he went close to the coconut tree and was thrilled he could touch it.I drew his attention to the next tree that was huger than coconut tree and had some leaves growing with in his reach.He came to it.Touched the tender little leaves and said,"beautiful" The last word I expected from him.This took me back to a day in 1985.we had taken out our little daughter to a park.She saw a dressed palm tree and said,"SHANKA,CHAKRA GADHA HASTE" meaning it looked like a description of goddess laxmi.
