We’ve all heard about Pyramids and Mummies. Here is something new…about Pyramids and babies

This happened some time ago....
As a proud new age father, I engage in some daily struggle to teach beginnings of academics to Manasi (my daughter). We both learnt - she about shapes and colors and I, about the difficulties.

Whenever I watch CNBC, she too sits on my lap and calls out ‘red pyramid’ ‘green pyramid’ etc. She is excited about the stock scroller for some reason. I encourage her and she proudly accepts my appreciation of ‘very good’ and achante sundarikkutty’ etc. with a coyish smile.

I was watching CNBC after US slipped into red and recession word became the beginning of a gloomy discussion. Manasi as usual, was calling out ‘red pyramid’ red pyramid’ and she started crying. I was not paying attention to her till then, but asked her what the matter was out of genuine concern. She said ‘there are only red pyramids. I cannot see the green pyramid’..
