Beautiful Mind ; Beautiful Queries 2

Traffic Signals

Su usually gives us the directions to either stop or go at any traffic signal. There are many signals where free left is allowed and this is displayed with a left green arrow. After some time of noticing this Su made an observation.

"When the green arrow is pointing to left, we have to go left. When the green arrow is pointing to right, we have to go right. When the green arrow is pointing up, don't we have to go up????"

(Hand on wide open laughing mouth)!!!

Beautiful Mind ; Beautiful Queries


I was teaching Kannada swaras to Su. "ಅ, ಆ, ಇ, ಈ, ಉ, ಊ,  ಎ, ಏ, ಐ, ಒ, ಓ, ಔ, ಅಂ, ಅ:"
Su's Question:  "Where is that alphabet that begins with R that you didn't teach me today???" It took me a while to realize that she meant ಋ as in ಋಷಿ.
