All people have curiosity. There is no limit to the curiosity of children. Possible impossible questions keep popping into their head. Then they come out non-stop, gurgling like volcanic lava. Some questions are not answered, some questions are not understood by them, and some adults do not know how to answer.

Tatan has barely crossed five. His parents are irritated with his questions. From getting up in the morning and before going to school he starts doing questions. Questionnaire is ready without opening eyes - why have I to go to school every day? Why am I to close my eyes during prayer? He doesn't feel good to close his eyes. Why does Ma'am pick me up from the side of best friend and put me next to girls? The girls cry at every little event - so Tatan dislikes the girls very much. Why am I to just study in school? Questionnaires change on holidays - why do you still have an office today? What to eat for breakfast? When will I go out to play?

Now let's come to some common questions. These are again quite uncomfortable questions. Like where did I come from? Why is your friend's son younger than me? You are of the same age. Why don't babies come out of boys' stomachs? When Biku, my friend got his brother, Aunty went to the hospital. As you told me, the doctor uncle has taken out his brother by cutting aunt's stomach. But the four children that Mini had, no one took her to the hospital - so how did her children come out of the womb? Mini is his pet cat. Dogs and cats have many children together, then why not humans? It is wise to turn the matter around.

A crow has laid eggs in a tree next to Tatan's house. Small chicks have come out from the eggs recently. This is also a matter of question. But why did I not come out of the egg?

Tatan is watching a football game – ISL, a new game to him. Questions again. Why are they fighting with a ball? Didn't their fathers buy them balls? You say, don't take anyone else's things. What a comparison!! Infinite curiosity about cricket too. Had a serious discussions with his father about the India Test match against Australia. Noticed that, the game started again after lunch. After having food in the picnic that day, when mother forbade him to play, the question arose again: Cricketers play after lunch - why don't they vomit?

Tatan's mother is all over the world - my mother knows everything. A cow is eating grass and sitting in the front field. Immediately the question rushes to the mother - what is the cow sitting and thinking? Why are his horns so small? Dogs or cats don't have hair at the end of their tails - why do cows have them? Her throat is not drying to eat grass? I drink water while eating - why isn't he drinking?

Tatan's ayamousi didn't come - her mother died. Immediately the question in Tatan's head - whom is she scaring now by becoming a ghost? Watching ghost cartoons has given him a good idea about ghosts. The next question – in which tree is the ayamousi's mother now? Whose neck will she twist next?

Do you know the answer to all these questions? If so, please let Tatan know.
