One of the fist things a kid learns to say is "papa" or "mama". The first words for Arnav, incidentally, were "bho-bho".
Aparna used to take Arnav on evening walks right from the time Arnav was 3 months young. And India being India, there is no shortage of dogs wherever you go. For a 3 month young kid, who sees noone but his mom and dad day in and day out, dogs were a welcome change. He was readily fascinated by dogs and till this day his fascination continues.
Arnav liked bho-bhos so much that for the entire first year he used to call anything and everything as bho-bho. Thankfully, he is now beginning to understand that not everything is called a "bho-bho".
Arnav has more toy-dogs in his cupboard than all the other toys put together. In fact hardly a month goes by when he does not get a new toy-dog.
Aparna, on the other hand, hates dogs like anything. Any dog within one square mile of her freaks her out. So although Arnav loves dogs, I am pretty sure, he will never be able to have a pet dog. He will have to make-do with his bho-bho pet toys only :-)
By the way, which should be Arnav's favorite cartoon character?
For all those who read Raj Comics, the answer is obvious - Doga!
