As an infant, he was good with "drawing" alphabets- both English and Tamil. So, when I enrolled him a art class at the nearest community center, his skill showed. I maybe biased, but based on a very myopic assessment, I think this guy is good at whatever is introduced to him- he has that 'I will do it wholly involved' attitude. And so he gets good at whatever he is being introduced to. So he got hooked up with the art class, and his art got better with time.
One year around, he started dabbling- again! As I kept on chiding him on his lacklustre and his divided attention during the class ( the class had a bunch of kids, and he had a good company with friends. They were competing to finish and pick up the slate to doodle something silly. Irked by my continuous chiding, when I asked if he would like to discontinue, he agreed to.
3months came the covid CB. Bored about setting up various forms of Lego- lego zoo and Lego underwater world, he picked up drawing. And boy, he drew. Like no other!
Earlier, I observed his swimming skills, as he grew beyond his fears and inhibitions.
