It is my 3rd year learning Hindi language and I do not like to learn that language at all. Yesterday, we had a test in the class for which my Dad made me to study a lot which worn me out! First he was freaking me out with so many questions from the Hindi Text book then he made me write a lot. When my Dad was teaching me Hindi, I was constantly dreaming about scoring good marks in the test and a get a Hero factory toy which is a Villan and it will fight with my existing Hero toy! Just then my dad asked me a question, "what is stool in Hindi?" I answered "kapadi...." for which my dad gave me a strange look! He said that there is no such word as kapadi. I started thinking and came out with the word, "kapada"! My dad was really mad at me and he said "chowki is the Hindi word for stool". Having said this he made me to run around 10 times repeating, "Stool means Chowki".
Well, now I remember Stool is chowki. The story did not end there, next my dad gave me a piece of paper and asked me to write English to Hindi meanings. He dictated the first word Eyeglasses but what I wrote was,"I glasses" and wrote the Hindi meaning as Ainak. On seeing this my Dad really freaked out and we all laughed loud!
Then I went to the class and my mom who is a co-teacher in the Hindi class appeared with the question papers. Most of the kids in my class were not happy with the test. In the middle of the test, a few people were talking and one kid even left the class. I was the last person to finish the test but when I was done what a relief!!
The funny part is at dinner time, my dad still asked Hindi questions and I told him to stop asking me Hindi questions so that I can watch T.V and eat my dinner peacefully!
Now, I am eagerly waiting for my Hindi test results.
