Storytelling

I was amazed to see the kind of impact movies have on kids. Yesterday night, Nimish forced me to do a recap of entire movie that we saw couple of days back. The movie that I am talking about is PK. He was excited about couple of facts - it has aliens, alien went back and came to earth with his friends, police took bribe, alien bought an idol of one of our gods and did a prayer to get food..and instantly God listened!, alien asked whether God runs on a battery. Nimish still remember these things and I am wondering how small experiences like these shape up values, beliefs and perceptions of kids towards the world at large.
