mom or dad, who is better?
nonsense people teaching senseless comparison to a child
better to focus on your own vacuum
what will you become when you grow up?
you better look carefully in the mirror of self realization
i am already grown up and on my long drive
why are you doing it? you are a kid
ok, i am but you are not
let me make my own universe in a drop of water
why did you get so less marks in exam?
i feel i am ok you are ok
you feel you are ok i am not ok
why do you talk to that boy who is so poor?
friends asked
poor, he is not, you are, who are begging
Why did you play on road, fell and got wounded?
it is better to learn about the hardest path
taste of bitterness sooner the better
don't you feel ashamed?
for not running as fast as others in a race
no, i would have if i didn't put all my efforts
will you fly your kite again after failing every time?
yes i will
till i touch the sky and shut every mouth
do you think your teacher is good?
i am not a judge
i am a kid, a learner, a student
do you know counting, poem, tables, addition?
yes i do but you better behave maturely
come, let us play chess
