to study and study and sometimes oh what

to say about tv my brother cannot even

let us watch even a second he watches

the whole day tv

and even if he's not there sometimes

he used to take the remote and even when

he slept he would not allow allow us to

watch tv because he would take the

long ones

flower fluffy just like the teddy it had

a teddy texture if i'm not wrong

yeah

all right that's cool so how are you

enjoying your summer vacation what are

you up to so far

oh i'm enjoying it very well there is no

work no school and it's truly amazing

so what about your holiday homework do

you guys get holiday homeworks

yes of course

almost 60 pages

that's not sounding good at all so are

you done with it or are you still

working on your holiday home of projects

still working on it but not seriously

okay so what is something that you have

already finished can you tell me what

are what what homeworks they gave you

and what did you do so far

i have subjects like social science

sanskrit

english

mathematics

and

science among them i finished only

science and that also there is a

homework to paste some

um

some

some fibers which are not natural

synthetic papers i also have to face

that i didn't do but yes i have started

him but i have other

like hindi i've done it partially and

social science

also partially like there was two

questions among them

there were many questions among them the

first two questions the first question i

wrote but i didn't do it but the second

question which was making a chart that i

added

so when when do you when are your

schools free opening again

perhaps next month

okay so you hardly have 15 days when

will you complete all your works do you

think you will have enough time

i don't know

okay that's cool so uh what about your

friends don't you miss friends from

school during vacations

during vacations

uh to tell the truth i don't really miss

them because in school also i don't talk

much or i'm like a quite one in the

class

okay can you so can i tell you that you

are an introvert

yes

okay that's nice so among these what are

you what is your favorite subject or do

you have any favorite teacher

oh i like social science and my favorite

teacher is

maths teacher

okay so why do you like social science

what is so interesting about that

subject

it is a new subject come to um it is a

new subject because we are in sixth so

it is new to us

so as it is new it only tells us new new

facts and new things so i like those new

things in it okay so but you know don't

you feel uh for us when we were in sixth

grade uh the social science got divided

into three civics geography and history

so don't you feel they are very lengthy

for us

no i don't feel i feel that there

uh every each one of them is

thin

like perhaps it must be like this and

like this one like this

okay

that's also have you started reading any

of your books

like are you done with any unit

i don't think with any unit

in social if you talk about social

science

then we have completed one one one

chapters of civics geography and history

all of them first for first chapters

and in english we have come to

uh pretty high

very pretty

chapter pretty many many chapters sorry

oh okay that's cool so uh what what was

the first chapter in history do you

recall anything would you like to tell

something about it

the first chapter is in in history was

what where how and when in which we just

um we got um

i can see that it was something that how

we know about the history through

manuscripts and inscriptions

and about dates bc before christ

and many more

okay but do you think it is required for

us to know our history like we are not

going to use it right it's something

that happened in the past so do you

think we should know about it

my mother says we should

okay why do you think we should or what

is your opinion

my opinion is

that i can also say that it is useful

but i it is useful to know what the past

weekend we can

because in the past what our ancestors

have achieved and

and

what thing which is not good they did

such as discrimination

they would discriminate

but the disc but discrimination is not

good so if we study the past we can come

to know that

we can um

find the find our ancestors mistakes and

we cannot repeat them again

yeah that is so true so do you think

discrimination goes on even in today

it's time

yeah it must be but rarely

okay so have you ever been discriminated

based on anything

no

i don't think so

i'm thankful that i'm not discriminated

by my parents

okay that's cool

so uh what about your favorite tv shows

like do you watch cartoons or something

or what do you do

oh what to say about tv my brother

cannot even let us watch even our second

tv

why why not

he watches the whole day tv

and even if he's not there sometimes

i remember um

remember he passed not now

but yeah before but i think some days or

months ago he used to take the remote

and even when he slept he would not

allow allow us to watch tv because he

would take the remote and under his

pillow and hide it

oh my god but that's a cool trick i

think i will also do that at my house

oh my god

but that's fine

so what do you like to do in your free

time

sometimes i i don't have any particular

thing i'll do in my free time it depends

on how my move is if my mood is to play

some games i'll play but if my mood is

to study and study and sometimes

i have no mood i am not i don't want to

study i don't want to play i don't

understand what can i do yeah i know

happens sometimes we feel like we have

so much of work but we don't have the

energy to do anything right they're like

we will do it later why am i bothering

myself so much i am having such days a

lot these days trust me i know i

understand

so what about pets ah do you like any

pets

no i don't but i like cows

oh okay so are there any in your

locality like do you often find them or

do you pet them

how can i pet them

i do

yeah

you'll not believe it but you know what

happened the other day

in my street almost like in front of my

house there was a cow and it was the

what do you say it was shouting

so i we thought okay let us give it food

i took some rice and some water and i

went down and i fed it and the cow ate

and i i literally patted it and

everything it was so cute and i don't

know i felt very nice it happened very

recently

yeah

so next time you find a cow please pet

it it's okay i didn't say anything to me

oh great that's great but

you must be living in an um

in a in a but we are living in a

building what's in a particular

where we can have a garden

and that way and all where i'm not

living in that place so that i can

take care of a cow but i'm living in a

building so i there is no space to keep

a cow i know whatever i understand

but in my but in my uh native place

there's i have such a house where

there's a place garden and there i have

a cow

oh that's nice so do you visit your

native place often

well not often

only once in a year but this time not in

even once in a year

because oh why not

because my mother says that there is a

assessment of my father i really don't

know what is an assessment but yeah she

said it is an assessment they did some

work

she she told it and we cannot go to our

native place now so i think we just can

just

stay at home i know but it's so boring

staying at home guys oh yeah it's very

boring staying here

but sometimes we visit different places

and sometimes the same places

no so have you visited any new place

this time during your vacation

it's time

not till now but i visited some places

which i used to visit

yeah which i visited but now it seems

new because i did not visit it for a

long time

so may i know what those places are and

how you spend your time there

recently very recently you can say to

yesterday i went to our temple which i

went many months ago which i am months

ago i went or

years or months ago i went oh and it

seems like a long time

yeah so this time first time i saw them

saw that temple it seemed very new but

unfortunately as tomorrow was a special

day for that temple

it was lots of crowd there i could not

there was not it was there was a lot of

crowd

okay thank you there was a lot of crowd

and i could not even see what is

happening what is not happening

it was truly

you know i could not see the

we call see the dj properly but yes we

had fun

no yeah that's whole right but you know

nowadays i feel we should never visit

temples or any places during festivals

it's better during a normal day where we

can peacefully go and sit instead of

going and you know rushing ourselves in

the crowd seriously i don't prefer

yeah my father and mother also warned me

but i did but i still would not listen

to them

and so i went

i went now i realized i shouldn't have

gone in

festivals

but i'm sure you didn't know right that

there was some auspicious occasion the

next day

no i knew that it was auspicious

occasion oh my god

okay that's cool so do you have any

friends in your building

like or do you speak or do you play with

anyone

oh yes

but i don't speak much but yeah there

there's a friend of my brother

who's

um in lkj or you can say four years old

he has a friend who's krishna i think

he's just above our

place we live in the building so he's

just arriving on the next floor

yeah okay

next floor he is living

he comes to play at the park at um

seven or eight or some we can say late

evening

okay but brother comes

six o'clock

six o'clock five o'clock and sometimes

seven o'clock also and sometimes they

both meet and sometimes they are not

able to meet

and

they're just there's a staircase to go

up no so because of that still guys they

play hide and seek in there

so he will

means there's this staircase from above

he will look down and my brother will be

going like this like this but no but

isn't that dangerous hello can you hear

me

yes there was uh oh the current went off

yeah i understood that there was a

parker

okay cool

hello

hello can you hear me yeah

yes i can you're telling about your

brother playing hide and seek but don't

you think it's dangerous for him to you

know bend and look down from the floor

above

it must be dangerous but uh

i don't but it is not

much because the way the building

i can say it doesn't seem much dangerous

from seeing him

but yeah

it must be it doesn't seem while seeing

him bending it's dangerous

chose which one we want and which one we

don't want there's another poster like

this one that was mine and this one is

from his former sister but now they have

grown up it is not that this one is mine
