Every day he visits everyone’s house without fail. He exchanges all the happening around him in every house. He keeps roaming in the premises around the colony.

Who are very obstinate headstrong children they don’t listen of anyone do what they want but same time Tubercular diathesis i.e. Long bones and eyelashes, fair complexion, delicate skin and sharp features. They love to travel and wander; they themselves may be slow at times but always want things to be done at fast speed and same time love to travel with speed on bikes and cars.
