Waking my little one up in the morning on school days is quite a task. In order to get him to open his eyes, i sat on the bed with the days newspaper which featured an article about poachers having entered the forests of karnataka and the tigers being at peril. As anticipated, the eyes opened instantly and he sprang up and listened to the article as i read.
Precious innocence commented with sleepy eyes " I wish the tigers knew Kung Fu". And then, "Amma, let us go to that forest and save them". I tried to educate him that there existed a 'Forest Department' which takes care of the task and also added that he could perhaps join the department when he is big enough and take care of them. There, error committed. The agitated reply was, "By the time i am big, they would have finished killing all the tigers in the forest!!"
