                                                                                                                                   while watching some Netflix, eating the classic south  Indian food IDLI and

           “Ram come sit here, will you?” said g-pop.                                                                                   SAMBAR.


           “What is it dada? I am playing COD with my friends.”                                                                    At night they both said Goodbye as Ram was leaving for his studio for a

                                                                                                                                   collaboration video he had to make. Ram’s g-pop dropped him off at the airport.
           Ram was a call of duty: black ops champion and a professional gamer and YouTuber                                        They both said their adieus and before leaving Ram surprised his grandfather with
            at the young age of 14. Ram’s grandfather or as likes to call him G-POP was a                                          a brand-new stilt house in the woods.

            professional KABBADI player back in the day. Today Dada decided to show him
            the world of nature that was completely unknown to him. He went up to Ram and                                          G-pop couldn’t be any happier. Ram said before leaving “I guess I was wrong, the

            said “Kid you are always glued to these games so much, but come on, game won’t                                         forest isn’t just about bugs, it’s a beautiful world after.”

            will mess up your stats come after you are done.” Ram laughed and said “For you I                                      Darshil Shah - 8 A
            will rush and kill him’ all quickly.” Dada laughed and walked away. After about 10

            minutes Ram came up to Dada and said “See I told you, I would finish the game
            quickly. Now tell me what you were saying earlier” Dada said, “Come with me and

            take your camera with, you might want to record your reactions. We are going to
            the woods.”  Ram laughed hysterically. “Come on dada not the place with bugs and

            stuff” Why do you think I would go there?” Dada said “because you are at my
            home and not at your studio thing. Which means I can take away my keyboard and                                                       सुंदरता अजुनी मा�ात आह.       े

            hate you! Now come on let’s get on with it already.” Ram’s grandfather lived in a                                                   माझं स�दयर् कधी प�हलंच नसेल,

            g-pop explained. “Yaa whatever” Ram replied. In the beginning Ram was skeptical

            and didn’t really enjoy. As they started going deeper into the forest, they saw more                                                 न�ा, नाले, ओढ , धुंद ती हवा,

            were deep  enough in the forest,  he even  started vlogging completely. His                                                         कधी मा�ा आंगणात येऊन पहा.

            the sea. The scene was heavenly. Ram was awestruck. They both sat on the bridge                                                     �कमान एक तरी झाड लावून पहा.

            there while Ram explained how Instagram worked to his G-pop. Both of them were                                                        Vaishnavi Bidave - 6 A
