Appa's all time fav

Yesterday I was applying oil on Nidhi's hair and she started singing in a soft voice, 'boroline, boroline'. I asked her what it was and she said it's something abt Appa and she even knows the song. I asked her to sing and she went with gusto - 'khushbudaar anti-septic cream boroline!' . She claimed she can sing it like Appa and proceeded with a loud voice - 'khushbudaar anti-septic cream boroline!'. it was hilarious and we promptly sang it to Appa the minute he came home from office.

Today morning I dropped Nidhi off to school and she tells me I drive 'faster, but calmer' than Appa. :-))

Rambles that pass as posts on this blog. But such is life...  :-)

The Rapid-fire Round

Nidhi and her father are playing a game. It's some kind of a 'World game' where you have to ask each other questions and guess the answers abt countries, continents, capitals, monuments, mountains, seas.. that sort of thing.

It's Appa's turn to ask questions and he wants an answer to do with the Middle East. So the first thing he asks is which country we were staying in before and Nidhi answers without hesitation 'Oman'. He then explains it is part of Middle East and tries to get her to arrive at the answer he is looking for(what is the thing that is most exported from the ME?). What follows is a rapid-fire...

Appa : What does Oman sell most to the world?

Nidhi : swords!

Appa : No!

Nidhi : Gold!

Appa : No! This is something that's there in all cars...

Nidhi : A.C.

Appa : No!

Nidhi : i know, i know, engine...

Appa : No, re! something for it to run on...

Nidhi : Oh, ok... Petrol.

Phew... i heard the above when i was in the kitchen and had to walk into it in between to see where this was going. Ended with me and Santosh ROFLing.

DISCLAIMER : Oman is one of the most peace-loving countries in the Middle East. Khanjar, a short sword/knife, is a national symbol and can be spotted everywhere. Which is y a child like Nidhi responded so quickly with the answer sword.
