My Child & I

As important as it is to introduce one's mother tongue to a child, I would place equal importance in getting the young one discover the magic that is Super Star Rajinikanth.

It's never too early to start with some things and so we huddled both the boys to watch Rajini's latest mega hit "Endhiran- The Robot".

It was a 9pm show and we didn't expect the boys to be awake past 10pm; but such was the magic of the Super Star, there wasn't a blink until 11:30pm.

The pure joy in the eyes of my second-born turned mine misty- The Thailaivar now has another ardent fan to his cap. And what more can I ask for, he now chants "Chitti! Robot-Da!!!"

First born was very curious and was asking Dad several questions of why, what and how during the movie?

A quick snippet:

(The Robot Chitti is disassembled by the Scientist fearing negative consequences)

Firstborn: "Why Appa, why did he break Chitti?"

Dad: "Because..."

Firstborn (hurriedly, showing off): " I remember, he broke the TV of the Scientist instead of switching it on. That's why, right?"

Dad (Nods with a smile)

First born now hums " Oh! Baby" from the movie.

For the love of Rajini -The One and Only Super Star!
