Rohan and the Ganesh Party
Mira: "Rohan, come play kho-kho! Everyone is in the courtyard!"
Rohan: "No, I’ll just sit here on the swing."
Mira: "But it’s our building’s Ganesh party! Even the aunties are playing!"
Rohan: "Too many people. Too much noise. I like being alone."
Mira: "You always sit by yourself. The others say you’re… um… unsociable."
Rohan: "So what? I don’t have to talk to people all the time."
Amma: "Arre, what’s happening here, you two?"
Mira: "Amma, Rohan never joins any games. He’s so unsociable!"
Rohan:crowd." "They all shout and push, Amma. I feel like a squeezed lemon in that
Amma: "Hmm. Rohan likes quiet. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t like people at all."
Mira: "But he never comes for anything! Not even for laddus!"
Rohan: "I come for laddus. I just stand near the back."
Amma: "How about this? You play one small round, then you can sit on the swing again."
Rohan: "Only one round. And no shouting in my ears."
Mira:scream near you." "Deal! I’ll tell them not to
Rohan: "Okay… I’ll come. But I’m still a little unsociable, okay?"
Mira: "Fine. You can be a little unsociable, but you’re still on my team!"
