Recently I took to oil painting. The first attempt was an octupus. I then asked Sambhav what should be the next one. Pat came the answer: jelly fish. Both father-son duo immediately tried googling out a suitable picture to copy. I tried to choose some exclusively based on simplicity but that was ignored by him. The choices he made were indeed too-difficult and not just-difficult.
I was in a dilemma whether to settle down and try out or hang up. The former did not guarantee an outcome and the later would mean going down in the eyes of the lad. The later was difficult on my part. That would mean that I as a father could not stand upto the expectation of the son besides the individual's ego would be hurt. But after few seconds of thinking, I chose to say it out: Son, I beleive I may not be able to do it. The statement was coming out but inside, I was eager to what the reaction would be.
Then, lets try out a seahorse!
