This is a trait I was rather pleasantly surprised to observe

From a very early age, Dev enjoyed the company of family and friends.
Infact he loves to be surrounded by people and thats his fun-time.
He would sometimes run to a stranger and hand her over a flower to say "Hello !".
When I chide him to be cautious, he would smile and say, "She is MY Oma" - meaning grandmother in German.
Thats one of his interest areas (I think), he likes to travel to new places where he can interact with people!
He collects new shapes of leaves and flowers to gift them to those old ladies and enjoy seeing smiles on their faces. These strangers are mostly elderly people or small babies.
In his kindergarten(3 yrs), once the manager told us that, he loves visiting old age homes and sing for them! He has a natural liking to "serve", either by help feeding babies in his kindergarten or holding the hand of an old lady crossing the road, that was few days back here(in Switzerland). I'm not sure though if he understands what "serve" means, but the joy I see on his face after the act is so pleasurable!

Met a Wiki-peronality!!!

Recently we had a guest visting us for dinner.
He is a very well-known "Wiki" personality. I shall address him as Dr. This article is not about him, but the way my son interacted with him.

I was in AWE when I met him and just couldnt be "myself" those few hrs. unlike my son... He was all over him asking him the weirdest questions and he calmly answered the child and played with him. His manners and decency showed how down-to-earth he was inspite of his stature. He actually walked up to the kitchen and asked me to join him for a drink, not being bothered about cooking. I was stunned! Never expected a person dealing with such high-profile leaders would be so cordial and straightforward & simple in style.

So here goes my 3 yr old almost as soon as he enters:

Krish - Hey! you r a old man !
Dr. - NO Im a young boy!!
Krish - NO NO, Im a boy, YOU ARE OLD!!!
(ohh God! I didnt know where to look)
Dr. hands him over a chocolate box and then the topic changes.

Krish - Hey! whats your name?
Dr. - Im Dadu. Whats yours ?
Krish - Im Dev Acharya Menon!
Dr. - ohh.. you are the best boy in the town...
Krish - I KNOW

After some funtime.

Krish - Dadu where is your old MOTHER?

Both my husband and Dr. didnt understand this part and was blank. Not knowing what to answer, I pitched in to explain him. Krish is missing his grandparents big time. He knew that a "Dadu"(grandpa) will be with "Dida"(grandma).
Mamma is everyone's "Mother". The concept of husband-wife was still not familiar. So, what he means is - Dadu, where is Dida(grand-ma) ?

I just hope we didnt offend him(Dr.) and Krish's behaviour can be considered acceptable at his age and Dr. would forget and forgive those errors.

PS: incase you are reading this Dr.
Thanks for your visit and it was a pleasant and charming change for us, esp my little one.

Next day was Holi. Krish specially made a card with his handprints for Dadu. Still he is speaking about him and the chocolates. We will cherish this memory forever.
