One day Bharat and Bhuvan came to me, after learning the meaning of the word 'famous'.
"Amma, we want to see who are famous people, show them on your phone"
One of them said, "Umm...Amma is famous for cooking, playing with us and going to the office". 
I then opened google and kids said over voice "famous musicians"... We started seeing the photos of famous people.
Then ..
"famous dancers"...
"famous doctors "...
"famous basketball players"...
"famous tennis players"...
"famous football players"...
Then came the turn of cricket. What kids said surprised me to the core!
They said... "Famous Virat Kohli"...
How deeply some players leave their mark on the sport they play! Amazing and inspiring.
I always tell kids that the sport is bigger than any player, I mean I tell them in a simple language that 7 year olds can understand. But they hear a lot from their friends in school and housing society that it's difficult to keep them away from idolizing any person. I will continue to try though.
