Dear D
We are back on track for the long winter nights. When the
day gets shorter because you nap too long and the night gets longer because at
1 am you tell me “can you tell me how to close my eyes and sleep? Can you tell
me? No don’t close your eyes!” yupp I am back to telling you stories where 100
sheeps jump over the fence and you ask me “what happens next” after the 100th
sheep has jumped. The thing is, I tend to lose connect with the narration after
the 100th sheep. The focus on literature gets even more defined as
the night progresses. I have picked up “the turning point” from my office
library and you need to read the title of the book and then further. It’s not a
night-time books for children my child. Infact far from it… So then I hide the
book yet again and your roving eyes zoom in on my phone. And that’s when the
final night-time activity really happens. No not the videos and pictures. Those
are not that interest you anymore. You open big basket and type in the name of
your favorite snacks – oreos, kinder joy, haldiram aloo bhujia, maggi etc.
Last night, however we had a difficult time on big basket. They
had not kept ironman shoes that you wanted to pick for your friend Ranveer. In
some corner of your brain you have figured out that iron man and hulk are best
of friends. Since you have hulk shoes, it is but natural that Ranveer should be
gifted iron man shoes. Anyways
Over the last one week you have been looking for a spouse.
You proposed to me but I had to decline as I am already married. After that you
proposed to your little sister Eira over skype. Like most girls her age, I
think she ignored your question. I hope you are limiting your proposal to
family only. I am not sure what your friends and teachers will say but it will
surely not be pleasant response. Atleast I think so…
Yesterday I was talking with your daadi and you interrupted
as always. So for the first time your daadi scolded you for the interruption.
To which you responded by saying you were disturbing the ants in our house, not
our conversation.
These days you are doodling channel logos. Your favorite is Star
Gold and CBeeBees. And you want to draw maps of the countries you are being
taught about. Did I tell you I am not good in drawing, painting or anything
that needs a firm hand?
And we have successfully banned cartoon network from our
house or so I am told but you have gone back to youtube and these days Charlie
and lola are the ones we have to watch again and again. And that's where you learnt "i don't want to see your face again!"
As always,
Your loving mom.
