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.

good night
18sep 2010. Today we all went out for a nice outing. Gauri ganapati are over now, and it was time to relax and have some fun. We all saw 3 ganapti pandols, one great in design, one sheer heavenly lookinfG idol. arjun has become great friends with his grandparents, and that too very quickly. After a long day of travel, food, fun…we reached home. I changed and meanwhile arjun was playing with dad. It was quite late already. I went to that room and just said -”Arjun, time to sleep, say good night to ajoba”. Now he is only 14months old, and what happened next i dint expect. He quickly got down from the bed, came to me, held my hand, looked back at dad, waived and murmured something. It was pleasingly surprising. He gladly took my hand and came with me to our bedroom. He was so quick in this entire event…and it was indeed a proud moment to see him grasp things to fast and effortlessly. I pray that he keeps progressing the same way and may the grace of God be on him.
