Dance

Posted on October 9, 2010. Filed under: Uncategorized |

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.

First Friend

19th sep 2010
We had the gracious presence of lord Ganesha and godess Gauri at our humble abode this year. The preps took sometime, esp since we cud do it mostly on weekends. The house was spic and span and we were all set to host this divine combination. We hosted the customory feast at our place, which unfortunately i cud not be a part of. However, later i got to know abt it and eat about it :). What was the high point in the day, was Arjun’s and his antics. We had invitd one of his friends – Preetha, who is all of 8 years old, for lunch. There were a lot of other invitees, however Arjun gleefully escorted only her from the door. He indicated to everyone that she is his friend. While the lunch was served, he chose to give her company all through. He, all of 14months, took great care to sit next to her till she finished her lunch, and that did take a lot of time. He then happily waited for her to join her in the play area. Its amazing how at this tender age friendship builds roots, across gender and across a huge age gap…its only with age does one lose this skill…

good night

Posted on October 2, 2010. Filed under: soul diaries |

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.
