Earthquake and get-together at nani house
Dear Darsh,
Last wk was yr first real earthquake expwrience time because it wwnt on for sone time. And you saw a lot of people out of their apartments. You saw a lot of people taking stairs for the first time. Therefore you found it exciting. That day became more memorable for your advay dada as he got his fingers crushed in the car window. You of course found that incident also very memorable.
The next day you discussed the eaethquake with your other cousins. The ones who have just started speaking. It was obviously one-sided conversation where you tried to explain the earthquake and the mayhem it caused.
We went for the annual nani house stay over last week. You were one of the 4 kids but naughtiest of the lot. I was actually embarrassed. And three people told me you have become such a brat. You tried to confiscate advay's ben ten shoes. You tried to wear his spiderman wickets as your shoes and you fought with two of your cousins for the bat. And you hit onw of your little sisters. But you were a cool cook. You also wereterrified of the brown lizard and the dead cockroach.
When you became too impish for anyone to handle your nana decided to do an in-house poll to find out who is the cutest brother in the house. Since you must have known by that time you would lose any such popularity contest you revolted in style. You got up and told the audience that advay dada'a fingers got crushed in the car window. And then you literally pointed a finger at your nana and told everyone that he did it. Advay obviously stormed off after being reminded of his pain so eloquently. The favorite boy poll was not taken eventually and everyone was amazed at your incredible polticalness. I am ofcourse beyond any embarrassment now. Your ability to turn around a situation like this has left me slightly petrified of your talents now.
Stay sweet my child. Don't grow up so fast 😚

3rd day of new school but No comments pls
Dear Darsh,
You started school on monday. Today is Thursday. We still don't know what you do in school, who are your friends or most important - whether you are eating anything at all because you come home hungry and dull.
You refuse to give us any details of your school and whenever we ask you about anything at all you start making bird language or tell us a superhero story or break into some random song. Obviously to stop any interrogation. What is less obvious to us is whether you are still making up your mind of liking this place or if you already dislike it too much to talk about it.
This school is slightly different as it is too big with too many kids. In short no more personal attentiin. I was scared earlier that you might get lost in the crowd but i know now i was wrong. I guess this new experience will give you a chance to shine brighter my dear. You will have to struggle a bit more to be heard. It will help you polish off your skills better and not get arrogant like i fear you were becoming. I am proud of you but i don't want you to be proud of your accomplishments... yet.

Of mystique and her powers
Dear Darsh
These past few days the 5 am conversations have become all the more interesting. One wee hour you woke up crying because you had just realised that you forgot to paint the cookies on your bday. So you wanted me to bake them again. At 5 am. I did bake them by 5 pm that day.
Another day you woke up at 5 am to tell me that daadi has changed. She is some other daadi as she now scolds you (i guess explaining to you about mystique and her special powers should have been avoided).
Another day was some superhero fight between your grandpa and an x men person. Again i had to listen to your story at 5 am. And if my eyes would shut you would make sure to keep them open by stretching them with your fingers.

Fall of the superheros
Dear Darsh,
I woke up in the nite as someone tapped me on the head. You should know by now i don't get scared easily unless its an earthquake. There was no one awake at that time. Except for your superheros lined up on the headboard. Slightly unbalanced, they were falling on my head one by head. Of course it took me some time to go back to sleep. But these days you want to sleep like that. So that you can play with them first thing in the morning. But i am sure the dreams you describe to me in the morning are having an impact as they are getting more gruelsome.
Your bday is in a fortnight and the only thing you are keen on are your dath vader costume and the variety of cakes on all the occasions. As of now you want red velvet for midnight, pingu cake again for school and we are still deciding for party but the last request you made was for big hero 6.
We are planning a superhero themed party but now that you are planning to come as a villain i am not sure if it was a great idea!
You are almost a pro on the scooter now and the doodling is in the same space - lego fight scenes. Now you create scenes with your lego and copy them in drawings.
Last weekend we went to your school for the winter carnival. Instead of enjoying at the stalls you were looking for your friends throughout the visit and looked completely lost. But you did introduce (proudly) your little sister Tia to all your friends.
We have been drilling the responsibilities of a 5 year old boy to you. I think you finalky got it as the other day you sat down and wrote that "i'll be a good boy from now and do my own things". That day you almost became independent. I was slightly sad but the next day you reverted to your old ways 😂
