Dance
6th Oct 2010It was one of those extremly tiring days at office. After leaving office at 9, did not expect to find traffic…but got caught it for sometime. Reached home, really tired and exhausted, with hardly any energy or willingness to talk. I rang the bell, to find Pritha(nieghbour 9yr old daughter) open the door. Arjun was sitting comfortably in his mothers lap, looking like he may sleep at any moment. Normally when i enter the house, not mater how tired i am, i shout with excitement looking at arjun and he feels really nice. Today was not such a day. I just entered and sat on the chair next to the door without the customary howls. Arjun looked at me, he was expecting me do it…but i dint. what he did next was unimaginable. He got up from his mom lap…put his two tiny arms in the air and started dancing…that too without music. It was a natural reaction of this 14month old, and so innocent at that. That very instant i forgot everything and a huge smile came on my face and i looked with sheer pleasure at my wife, who too was equally surpised. It gave me that injection of energy, making me feel nice and happy again. People say that kids are stress busters…not without a reason.
