On learning hindi

Breakfast table conversation during the summative assessment week.
RRJ: Amma what is the meaning of 'Paltoo'?
Amma: Domestic, why?
RRJ: No….. in the hindi exam we were supposed to make a sentence with it.
Amma: Hmmmm…..
RRJ: Even though I didn't know the meaning, I still managed to write a sentence with it……… Paltoo ki vilom junglee!

Such conversations shake Amma's belief that detachment from RRJ's studies is the way to go. Instead she is wondering if she should to convert into a junglee tiger mom before it is too late.
