nanu’s usual parking space at Central park and refused to go anywhere else
… just goes to show how well you remember your usual footsteps..
When u copied papas
swearing saying " bhak sala bhak sala bhak sala" ..in cute succession
with ur cute “totli boli”.. we had to
greatly smother our laughter and reprimand u gently so that tum sehem ke bole
" ye to gandi baat hai na ! " Hopefully papa learns his lesson
and never swears in ur presence again !! ..
When u were seated
next to papa sideways on the sofa to watch tv .. u told him ," papa tummy
dikh raha hai TV nahi dikh raha hai" lol .. a clear indication
to papa to reduce his tummy size ..
When asked “ Where
are your eyes, ears etc.. your comeback is “Where is puddi? “ with that impish
grish and ur hands on ur butts !
Waving your hands
when there were too many mosquitoes and saying “ Bohot macchhar hai mumma ..
machhar ko maar do !” and then taking
the raquet and waving it around calling out “ AA jao machhar ! Aa jao ! “
Sitting on potty
like a little frog, holding onto mummas hands, and u would say “ Upar dikho
mumma” as if to say “ I need some privacy please..Continuous announcements
about passing susu or potty or farting even.. Then ud turn ur head right down n peep into
the pot and say “ Arey, potty swimming kar raha hai !” .. Gross? Not so much ..
Your spontaneous
singy songy rendition of” wipers on the bus go swish swish “ with ur little fingers
going side by side.. adorable ! “Hathi raja kahaan chale”, “Ek mota haathi”
“Hickory dickory dock” “ek kaua pyasa tha” and “Singh raja aaya aaya
“
Your fondness for
“ghee aur namak wala chawal”…ur dadi’s trademark offering so much so that when
mumma is feeding you, you’ll say “ Arey. Mamak (namak) daal do aise “ even demonstrating
ur dadi’s hand sweep
After a fall, Mumma:
Arey aap kaise gir gaye? Baby:“Mumma main aise gir gaya.. Dhamm” simulating the
fall
If you get hurt, you
will claim attention to it by coming up to mumma and saying “Mumma mujhe lag
gayi na” and expecting a soothing rub or kiss, and then u have your closure
You’ve become such
an elephant man ! .. you sleep, eat, bathe with ur grey and blue elephant..
they ride in ur cycle carrier with u .. you mutter elephant in your sleep ..
you never go anywhere without them … so much so that everyone is aware of your
elephant love and now our house is full of elephants of different shapes and
sizes
You carried your
giant mumma elephant and strutted around in KEM corridors which was so adorable
everyone stopped to look at this little guy with his huge elephant
When we packed off
your mumma and papa elephant in the luggage, cz they were too big to be carried
later, you asked about them the next day with a forlorn expression !
Manna: Aekansh mujhe
story sunao … Aekansh pointing out pictures to her.. nahi Aekansh tum thik se
padho story “ aise… ababababa” she says moving her fingers over the lines (I barely smother my laughter.. so that’s what

When you saw dadi teaching Manna didi and knew
your turn was coming, you grabbed ur train and scurried away, whining “ mujhe

!
Similarly, when ud draw or colour something,
youd start saying” Photo loo ..loo na” cz ud seen mumma praising and clicking
all of manna didis creations

dancing..
u bit mumma on arms and cheeks to show Ur love and then cackled
naughtily .. it was so cute that mumma dint really feel like resisting
...
U inserted both Ur hands in the rolled up yoga mats. . and lugged them
around .. then when removed u kept wailing "Mera hand chhota ho Gaya"
..
When u were throwing pebbles into
Ganga n one landed on papas tea so u got a stern look from him .. u looked
terrified and then Ur face crunched up n u began crying in fear of the
impending punishment .. my darling ..
You and your didi’s favourite Abra Ka dabra hinga hoy..
Your light tap on mummas and papas knees and then Ur expectant smile
when we give u our attention .. mumma aap mujhe dhoond rahe the ? Mai bhi aako
dhoond Raha tha ...
When u prompted mummas violin playing with - old MC Donald bajao then
midway -stop - happy birthday bajao- stop- row row row Ur boat - stop stop stop
"urgently"..
when papa sprained his ankle in
evening and later at night u bent down to apply cream on his ankle " papa
aako lag gai thi na .. thik ho jayega " ..
When I lift you up and u crouch Ur whole body Ur head lowered Ur
shoulders hunched and bring up Ur knees so I feel I'm lifting a little puppy ..
Ur flitting hopping n scampering about anyway makes me feel I have a cute puppy
in the house .. add to that Ur biting
U show Ur anger to Didi by clenching Ur teeth and
extending Ur claws with a scrunched nose and tiny growl . Like a little
tiger pup ..
When mumma is studying u come and cradle my face
lightly .. and then say prai Karo .. prai Karo ..
Didi making u do susu and saying aekansh jaldi Karo
Didi ko bhi aayi hai Susu ..
Didi crying " shreya chachi aP ekbbhi day Nahi
soi mere pass .. then when I slept with her next day ,",aap five days bhi
Nahi soi mere pass ..
when asked aekansh whether he would sleep he just
said " Nahi yahan monster aate hai . Mujhe utha ke le jao na papa pass
. And scampers off on his tiny feet ...
Main prince hun aur ye buffallo hai ..
Aap happy ho jao dadi . .. after both of you have
wexed her no end !
You cradling my chin in both your hands to get my
attention ..
