Reality Strikes

“Wow,  the seagulls are back in Dubai.”
“They are migratory birds. Do you know what  bird migration is ?”
“Nopes.”
“Many birds travel from one place to another, when  seasons change and come back when  it changes again.  These seagulls come to Dubai   during winter.”

“But pigeons are here during summer.”
“Not all species migrate. Only some do. Even in those, there  may be non-migrating flocks. The  flamingos we see in Dubai  do not migrate, though flamingos in other countries do.”

“Dad, does Batman migrate?”
“Well, he doesn’t . He is not a bird !”
“So people don’t migrate?”
“Well  some people do. We are migrants from India.”
“Why doesn’t Batman migrate to Dubai, then?”
“He has big jobs to do in  his City. Police needs him to fight crimes,  help people.”
“NO! He cannot migrate to Dubai because  he is imaginary and Dubai is real.”
