Normally, I don't want to spoil Veer by pampering him. However, when I give him stuff he demands, I feel I am getting it for myself (won't get into the reasons of this feeling).
When Veer was around one and half years old, we were roaming around in the society. Veer saw a child riding his toy car. He wanted to ride that car for some time. He asked me to talk to that child and borrow the car for some time. However, as I wanted Veer to communicate for himself, I asked him to do the talking. Obliging to Papa's suggestion, Veer approached the child and asked for the car. Instead of giving a positive gesture, the child pushed him back. This was, I think, Veer's first rejection. He used to have his way before that. Hence, he came back running to me, showing a finger at the culprit. I brought him home and consoled.
Veer cried for some time and went to sleep. Pramita told me that Veer would sleep for an hour or so. It was already 10 PM. I called my friend Ramdas. We went to the market. There was a cycle store almost on the verge of shutting down. We requested the owner to remain open for five more minutes. Somehow, she agreed. We bought a toy car, more expensive, better, bigger than that of the other child.
So when Veer woke up, he had the car in front him. Instead of riding it right away, he asked me to take the car downstairs. Once I took it downstairs, he asked, "Now, call that child. I will show him my car."
Veer was only one and half, but possessed so much of anger and sense of retaliation.
