Explanation:
Dr. Krishnan agreed to his wife's request, but he was smart enough to tell her that every morning he would take Zigzag to his clinic. He explained to her that if he took Zigzag to the clinic, Mrs. Krishnan would paint in peace at home.

He also told Zigzag that it had its unusual way of showing his genius, which he called the Zigzag way.
