Baby Bash....


Been quite busy for the past 2 weeks... Something that i really got involved in... As i mentioned in my previous post, i saw many more innocent and poor little babies being dissected and checked for their abnormalities, so that the mother could be councelled before her next pregnancy... The people in the lab showed me a complete dissection of the fetus, its internal organs and the brain... Though i was inquisitively watching all this, i had this unexplained feeling of guilt of having watched such a dreadful seen... wonder why...


Anyways... In the midst of my training session, my cousin came home with his family... It had been nearly a year since i met him and his daughter, or better, my niece, Aditi :) Such a cute thing i must say... i was so eager to see her... As soon as she came home, i walked to her and took her by my arms and that's the last of silence i heard from her... Bhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!... she began her musings... Shocked, i gave her to her mother and began questioning my cousin - "Enna, ponnu kitta edhanum solli kootindu vandhiya???"... Starting trouble, he called it... Slowly, i gave her my soft toys to play and gradually she began mingling with me... Being just a year now, she walks around the house like a penguin let loose and occasionally falls down out of balance, and gets up laughing at herself... so cute!!!



That Sunday, we had a family get-together and all of us went to the beach... She enjoyed the sand, the breeze and especially the kites... She watched us eat molaga bajji and kuchchi ice with her mouth watering, she fought with all of us wanting to get a bite on it... Her eyes sparkling with mischief and joy - a wonderful mind-picture that can never get out of my mind... As usual, she was the centre of attraction for all of us... When we offered her our mobile phones, she would so beautifully hold it in her hand... as if she were born with one, she would press a few buttons with the same hand and keep it in her ears... slightly inclining her head to one side, as though she were busy conversing with someone... Then she would go on and on saying something only she could understand... and turn to us and grin :)



You never know how quickly time runs when u have a kid around... all your worries and botherings seem to simply evaporate... You would really wish you were like that kid, free from any commitments or appointments... a life where someone would always be around to look after you... feed you from time to time, for which you would striclty say no, unless you are shown the moon during the mid-day... a life, where everybody's attention is on you... a life, that's nothing but smiles, mischief and curiosity... It is such a wonderful time that none can miss enjoying... Unfortunately, i can only very faintly remember what i did when i was a kid... i am just trying to learn all that i did from my mom and grandma... Shall pen them down sometime... :) Till then... take care... hugzzzzzzzzzzz....
