Hapin-bhapin
bhipin-bhapan.
These are the words Arya uses to animate fights when he is playing the
role of Bheem. If there is a takkar of 2 cars he says Bhapaan.
These words are so funny. I wonder how he came up with these.
·
The other day he was
describing to me some boulder that fell down in a garden (I have no idea where
this was - school, my building or TV). He said, "Mummy, Galdan madhe to
dagad dhass padla". (The boulder fell in the garden with a dhass noise.)
·
Then again there are
dichaun, dadham, etc., used wherever applicable.

Location ala
Yesterday he was asking,
"location ala?".
I didn't understand what he meant, so I asked, "What location? Is it
related to Dad?"
"Nahi tula location aahe." (No ,you have location)
"Okay, good".
Didn't understand a single word

An incident in one
evening showed his sensitivity. I was sitting on the couch, staring into the void.
Arya notices whenever I sit in 'thinkers' pose.
Arya: Mummy tu aj ashi sad ka disti aahes? (Mom why are you looking so
sad today?)
Me: I'm not sad sonu, I am just thinking.
Arya to Yogesh: Pappa, hi aj sad aahe. Hila TV lavun dya ani doctor cha
lava TV madhe. (Dad, mom is looking sad, so please put Dr. House serial)
Arya to me: Mummy, tula Guddu Babbanchi athvan yete ka? (Do you
miss your parents? He calls his maternal grandparents Guddu-Baba.)
Arya continued: Guddu-Baba Vashi madhe aahet. Mag tey Pimpdi la janar, nantar
they aplyakade yenar, ok? (He said that my parents were in Vashi at my sisters
place, then they would go back to their house in Pimpri and later visit us.)
Sometimes he says to Yogesh: Pappa, hila bhuk lagli asel. Hila jevan dya
na.
Or to me: Mummy tu majhi friend banli aahes. (Mom you've become my
friend)

Indian Maggi
On Monday morning I was by the kitchen table making vermicelli. He loves
it and calls it Indian Maggi. This way I don't have to deny Maggi to him.
Whenever he wants Maggi, I give him vermicelli. He doesn’t know my trick so far.
Arya: Mummy, aj tu majha sathi kay banavti aahes khayla? (What are you
making for me?)
I showed him the packet.
Arya smiling and hugging me: Mummy, tu changli aahes. Tu majhi friend
banli aahes. (You are so nice. You have become my friend.)
5.
Bath Tub
I was bathing him yesterday. He used to hate bathing in a tub before. I had
bought a round tub for him when he was little. Now he barely fits into it. When
we were at Mani's house last weekend, he saw Shaurya bathing in it and tried it.
Since then he wants me to use the older bathtub at my home to bathe him.
Arya: Mummy, mala pink round bathtub madhe anghol karaychi aahe. Pan Shaurya
jhopun anghol karto na? (I want to have a bath in our pink and round tub. Shaurya lies down while having a bath)
Me: Nahi sonu, tyacha tondat pani jail na. So he doesn't lie down in the tub. (No he doesn't, or there'll be water in his mouth.)
Arya: Ok. Tu mala motha tub an. Pink colour cha. (Ok. Pls get a bigger tub for me. Pink in color.)
Me: Ok. I’ll get it on Saturday.
(But I know he is very particular and remembers things well.)
So I say: Pink color nasla tar konta color anu? Yellow anu ka? Or
Purple? (Can I get a Yellow or a Purple one if not Pink?)
Arya thinks: Chalel.
But just after a few minutes he says: Nahi mummyyyyyy, Pink color ach
an. (No, I want Pink)
Me: Ohhh, thik aahe.
