Mere Paas Maa Hai

There is a lot of bravado that goes on in the playground with everything from cycles, to playstation games to cricket and slam attax collectible cards to whatever it is that chest puffing can be inspired by.
Ergo the other evening when we were down in the park, me doing my regular perambulations of the premises with one ear cocked out to listen in on any murder and mayhem happening in the vicinity of the tykes, I overheard a hot headed discussion taking place between the brat and a fren who is more a frenemy.
"I haff PS2 and PS3 and PSP," said frenemy yelled at brat. "You have only PS2."
"I have Gameboy. I have hundred Playstation games. You have?"
"I have 100 cards. And Sachin Tendulkar gold card. You have?"
The brat drew himself up to Shashi Kapoor levels of Deewar dignity. I feared he would say, can you repeat the question. But no.
"My mudder wrote a book. Yer mudder wrote?"
Haay Mera Bachcha. To borrow a hashtag from the wondrous Aneela.
