“The wedding is over, now the ‘recession’ will start.”
On his Kamal maama’s wedding “reception”
________________________________________________________________________________
“What will I BE at Kamal’s maama’s wedding? Like a page boy, or ring bearer, what will I BE?”
_______________________________________________________________________________
On India
“When we were on the bridge it felt like we were in Singapore, after we crossed the bridge, we are now back in India.”

“What I like most about India is that if you have dollars, everything is way cheaper."
On comparison between India and Singapore
_________________________________________________________________________________
Me: India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world
Sanil: Is that why all the roads are broken?
________________________________________________________________________________On Cricket
Sanil: “Is Kamal mama the best cricketer in the world?”
Me (sarcastically): “YES. He is better than even Tendulkar.”
Sanil (in all innocence): “Who?”
__________________________________________________________________________________
“Can I be the batter?”
Well, as we are playing cricket and not baking, I assume you mean batsman?
________________________________________________________________________________
On Career Choices
Me: “I want to change my career. Do something different.”
Sanil: “Become an ice cream cooker!”
Me (contemplating sending my resume to Ben and Jerry)
__________________________________________________________________________________
“I want to grow up and be a normal person. Not like a rockstar or race car driver, just a normal person who goes to office.”
On career plans that suddenly got very modest
_________________________________________________________________________________
On stuff that makes me go “awwwwwww”
“You are the most importanest girl in my life”
About and to his mom (that’s me!)
________________________________________________________________________________
Sanil: “When I grow up I shall get 2 houses, one for you and one for me.”
Me (chocked up in tears): “Really? Wow!” But a house can cost more than a million dollars. Do you have a million dollars?”
Sanil (in all sincerity): “OK. I will go check my piggy bank.”
______________________________________________________________________________
“If you are scared you can hold my hand”
To his mom during a thunderstorm

Sanil (waving at the pretty girl across the street)
Me (in a teasing voice): “Is that your girlfriend?”
Sanil (matter of factly): She used to be.”
________________________________________________________________________________
And other random ones
“B maama is taking me to the hair designer to get my hair gelled”
Errrr its Hair Dresser, but I get the point
_______________________________________________________________________________
"Whatever" is just a rude way of saying "Yes"
______________________________________________________________________________

On his keen desire to have a male cousin. Errr gender confusion?
______________________________________________________________________________
“I want to take a rocket ship and go to outer space where everything is FUNNER. Not like earth where everything is boring!”
On homework and other boring earthly stuff
________________________________________________________________________________
“Don’t say that! You are breaking my feelings!”
You mean ‘hurting’ your feelings, but I get the drift!
_______________________________________________________________________________
Me: Congrats Sanil you came 3rd in the race (School sports day)
Sanil: Well I came ALMOST 2nd!
Me: That's a good spin on actually coming 3rd!
