Toys selection - ParenthoodDiaries #43

We rarely took kids along, while going for shopping. We never purchased a toy in their presence. We would always bring toys and give them separately.

May be due to this, even when they saw toys in road side shops sometimes, they used to name them like say it's an elephant, it's a knife, it's a ball etc, but never asked us to buy the toys.

Recently they were stopped deliberately by a shop keeper, and they paid close attention to the toys that were on display. It was the first time that they picked up what they wanted. Look in the picture what they picked individually. While one picked a soft toy, another picked Adiyogi statue.

I wonder how uniquely and distinctly kids develop their thoughts and interests, in spite of growing together and getting exposed to similar experiences.

How difficult it is to write convincing stories!!

 This post is not to criticise, but just to share thoughts, with all respect to the great story writers.

I often wonder about the weak-links in the stories of recent successful films, since the same weak-link runs the entire storyline!

#Baahubali - Shivagami never treated Baahubali and Bhallaladeva separately. How come she mentioned just 'son' and not Bhallaladeva's name in the marriage proposal, which caused the whole sequence of events!

#RRR - Bheema was said to be the protector of his people. When such an important British delegation visited his village he was not around. If he was around, the abduction of Malli wouldn't have happened and the rest of the story too!

#Seetharamam - Leftenant Ram wrote Noorjaha palace's address on his last letter to Sita and not the address of their home in Kashmir where they last lived together, which was the reason for the rest of the story.

Of course, there might be valid reasons for writing the above sequences. As a film lover, I just wish there was further convincing story-line in place of the above!

Not to offend, just out of love for cinema.
