E=mc^2

6 years 10 months ...I tried remembering what I was doing at this age. All I could remember was singing to the rain god to stop raining so that I could play, doing a little maths, lots of running, stealing guavas from the neighbors, taking a bath in the open courtyard...
Did I ever ask dad what is e=mc^2 , who was Stephen Hawkins, Einstein...I am surprised and scared at the same time by manus curiosity...He searches for Stephen Hawkins videos, videos on the universe and can watch them endlessly without loosing interest. His teacher tells me he might be a special needs child and asked me to go to a psychologist to assess his level through some exam they give...scary, unconventional but yet it helped me realize the fact that I have to deal with him differently. I obviously don't have answers to all his questions and am in no mood to give him the answers. I want him to figure them out. He is too smart ...
