Rigved

Rig read his first Archie comic… it was a Jughead Jones double digest.

Today morning Rigved woke up at around 9 and the first thing he did sleepily is got a book out and lay down reading it. The book was ´Bedtime Tales´!

At this moment, he is watching Narnia. He seems to be in the spirit of the movie as has used his hot wheel tracks as arrows and inserted them in the backside of t shirt like it was a quiver. Occasionally he will use many hot wheel tracks and other vertically blessed toys and stuff them in various parts of the clothes. At these times he looks like a very cute little tribal warrior!

Rigved just announced that he has finished all the books that Banda bought him some days ago. Banda spent over 2 grand on books for children. Its another matter that I sincerely felt that she should read them as much as Rigved.

Since Rigved´s accident we have been religiously reading The Lord of the Rings. We both sit and go through the epic at various hours of the day. I have to explain every bit to him and hence the speed is slow. Its been ten days and we are still on Fellowship of the Rings! I ve arranged for the DVD so that we can watch it after we finish Fellowship. So far we have finished 300 pages and 100 pages remain which we plan to finish by this Sunday after which we watch it with Banda. Rigved is really hooked on to LOTR and is getting impatient to get to anything about Sauron!

I love the line describing this epic on the backside:

The English reading world is divided into two kinds of people, One who have read LOTR and the other who are going to read it!

Today Rigved finished reading his first novel! The Mystery of the Burnt Cottage by Enid Blyton. With that he has officially finished reading all the books that he has. There must be at least 70 of them! They are mostly story books, not novels. All of these books have been bought by Banda except for an exception here and there.

Rigved sincerely loves reading. He just picks a book and starts off. In fact he will read just about anything at all. SMS, Book Titles, CD Covers, basically anything that has a decent font. Just yesterday he picked his first paperback novel by Enid Blyton called ´The mystery of the burnt cottage´.
