So my wife started to checked the Maths paper, he scored good marks, but she wanted to check which are answers he marked wrong. Here is the question which he marked wrong IV. Ring the smallest number 1. 15     8 2.  10     12      13 Aditya made the mistake on the second question and lost half a mark. Check what was his answer? Down below this post is the answer. Looking at the answer, my wife started to roll over the floor. Was funny when I looked on the answer papers, even I couldn't control the emotions, and laughed at Aditya. Aditya was humble enough  to understand both of us. Aditya seems to loose marks by committing silly mistakes. Just been thinking how to correct that part.

I would ask him about counting numbers. What is 8 +7? Aditya would start using his fingers to count the numbers and the answer as 9,10,11,12,13,14,15. Now it was Aditya's turn to ask me the question. Who can drive a car with out license? I was like thinking what kind of question is this. His mother recently had been to driving school to obtain a driving license, and was wondering how could some one drive a car with a license and get caught. I told him no one could as they need a license to drive. He said "What about that uncle who drove our car in the hotel to park the car and what would say about that." My wife and I looked at each other laughed over it and responded to Aditya. Oh, the valet parking. We had been to Anjappar with his grandparents for lunch and the driver had parked the car. I told him he too needs the driving license as he is handling lot of cars. I am amazed at the small details he has been picking from the places we have been moving around. I would ask him about counting numbers.

I would say the programs are some what good, some cartoons dubbed in Tamil and having a re run. So ideas flicked from Pogo TV channel and some from Disney too. Any ways it is fun for these kids and it was the right time to launch the channel as it is holidays for kids. One thing which amazes me is the commercials from the day one of the launch of this TV channel. Even POGO TV had some relaxing times with no commercials initially. Phew they have a good marketing network team. There is one more program just like "Mask of Zorro" types. Do watch them. I will get back on this shortly on why I mentioned about this particular program.
