During the pooja ceremony for our new apartment, we have got some goithas (made of cow dung and hays which is dried so that can be used for burning). Goitha was earlier used as one of the main fuel for earthen stoves and it is still being used in many indian villages. Now a days it is mostly a ceremonial thing used in pooja and havans etc.
So we had a bag full of goithas left after the pooja. We were debating on how it can be used. So after waiting for 2 months, i finally decided to throw it away. Our apartment is on the first floor. To throw it away i was planning to take the bag downstairs and throw it in the open area adjacent to our society building. That bag was little heavy so i asked Kundan (now 3.5 years old) to open the gate. He innocently asked where i am going. So i told him that it is garbage and i am going to throw it out. Then he said that leave it outside our gate. He remembered that we keep our daily garbage there, so that the cleaning people can take it out. It immediately struck me that now i don't have to take this heavy bag downstairs and who knows maybe cleaning people will find a use for it. Thus because of Kundan's presence of mind i was saved from unnecessary lifting of that heavy bag. Thank you Kundan.
