The playground we have in our building is not really a playground. We call a “khadda” (a pit) because that is exactly what it is. It is about 20ftX15ft area with a swing, a slide and a see-saw. Manu has been playing there ever since he started playing. Since it is not a natural playground and is made over a septic tank, it had a very hard surface. To make it softer for kids small round pebbles were layered on it and they make a lot more sense than sand especially in the rains. So this Sunday I Manu filled his and my pocket with these pebbles and back home he emptied them on the mattress we have in our living room. When I asked him what he will do with these pebbles? He replied “I'll make a playground.”
