Me & My CRUEL MOM!

When confronted with familiar situations, I tend to react on expected lines. However, I am beginning to realise that this element of certainty gives an undue edge to my CRUEL MOM vis-a-vis me; as she can always improvise and beat me into doing things that I wouldn't in the first instance! But, before I introduce that element of surprise into my acts, let me compile those incidents/situations and events which elicit expected reactions from me and my CRUEL MOM; here they come:

~ Mom has just picked up the bottle of iron supplement. Knowing what is coming, I move my face other way; tightly closing on my lips, I try my best to dismiss her presence........But, she manages some unkind support in my papa; who, while pointing his finger towards fan is making strange faces...that draws me into laughter..... The woman, who resembles more with a "tigress with eyes set on her prey" than "my mom" gulps the entire spoon into my mouth.....CRUEL MOM is what my eyes screams!

~ Lazy mom is eating Maggi noodles for her lunch while trying her best to hide them from me.......Knowing, what can hit her if I were to see her eat Maggi, she sends me into the other room with Santoshi didi....... "Something is amiss"- is what my head keeps telling me. So, at the first available opportunity, I find my way back into her room.....To my horror, I found my CRUEL MOM enjoying Maggi....... And, I begin to cry with full force, leaving her with no option but put one Maggi string into my mouth....... HOTTTTTTT!.....She knows that she has a task cut out now, and papa isn't going to spare her either for giving me Maggi!

~ I have already scaled up-to the 4th step of stairs; completely unnoticed. Standing on my feet while tightly holding the side-rails, I invite her attention....... And, CRUEL MOM run towards me to bring me down ........ I am left thinking- how foolish, I was to expect accolades from her! She didn't even care once for all the sweat that had gone into my scaling effort.......

You know there is no dearth of such events, but there is severe time problem as papa have to rush to his office; so you will have to wait to read more in the second part of this series....

Did I say that I love my CRUEL MOM?...........No.....Didn't I? Oh my bad! I love you my "NOT" so "CRUEL MOM"............I LOVE YOU! but you better wait for my improvisations!

I Love Dogs!

Yes, your read it right; I love dogs. Since my mom knows it, she always makes my papa stop his car moment she sees a group of street dogs on the road. One such moment occured an hour back while we were out on the road for after-meal drive. We saw a group of three dogs sitting on the road-side. She lowered side windows; and then I took over from her. Standing tall on my feet on mom's lap, I started making noises as if I was trying to show some sort of solidarity with them. But, poor dogs chose to run other way, ignoring all my calls from behind......Seeing this, my papa couldn't stop his laughter and commented- "you scared them away"....... How cruel of him to say that even after knowing that I love dogs..... Well, I don't blame him as he is no dog lover and can't understand this affinity.

I am ending this post with a couple of videos to make you laugh. First video shows how impatient I can become when eating; while second video captures my lough-out-loud (LOL) act......

Note: Past couple of days didn't see any posts as my papa had gone to Dehradun over the weekend. Like most of his earlier trips, this too wasn't planned, or should I say was an ill-planned trip. As he was travelling alone this time, mom didn't let him drive. So, he reluctantly agreed to take a bus. But while on his way to the bus-stand, he dumped his bus plan mid-way and took a train instead. You know travelling without reservtion in a night train is no great idea by any stretch of imagination, but a good negotiator that he is, managed to buy one seat by paying some penalty...... You know he repeated this very next day while on his way back to Delhi.......I can't help but wonder as to why a net savvy person like him doesn't book his tickets online; strange! Say what?

Thanking You On A Rainy Day!

My mom rightly says that weather plays an important role in shaping my mood. Today, I am in a cheerful mood thanks to our weather Gods. They have been kind enough to shower two hours of continuous rains over parched city of Gurgaon. Needless to mention that today’s rains have brought much needed relief to the city residents. At the same time, it has also exposed the claims of the city administration about the preparedness of the city to the vagaries of monsoons.......Only two hours of rains was enough to cause havoc in the city with traffic snarls being witnessed on every road leading into or from the city. However, I didn’t witness any such jam on the road outside my home. Sitting on my mom’s lap, I could enjoy the sight of speeding cars splashing our boundary wall with the rain-water.......... I laughed and giggled every time a car moved away from me.

Later in the evening, papa took us out for a drive in the rain. I really enjoyed it especially the fast movement of car-wipers on the windscreen and so many happy faces in a traffic jam-a rare sight in any traffic jam!

We came back late at around 9.30; but tired me was in no mood to go to bed! Well, who would want to, when you have such a nice weather outside!

Let me now take this opportunity to thank everyone for their visits to my blog.......I want each one of you to know that I love you! So, thank you all on this beautiful day............

How do you ..........

......expect an eight month old kid to react seeing her parents argue over something?

Well, I hate to admit but I am now qualified to answer this question after I saw my parents argue over a petty matter this evening.

While my parents were busy putting forward their arguments, I was moving my eyes between two of them as if watching a tennis match.............obviously waiting for an end to the verbal volleys. But when they didn't I started crying........My crying had an immediate effect as my parents stopped arguing and rushed towards me to comfort me.

They started doing their bit to make me laugh, something not very difficult thing to do. Soon, I would burst into my trademark laughter and this would provide much needed relief to my parents. They are now hoping that my mind would not register this argument. To be honest, I also don't want that to happen. And, my laughter has definitely helped me erase this bad experience from my mind space.

Now, here is preaching time- you know any argument between two persons is nothing but a game of throwing back at each other. The game continues until one person decides not to throw it back at the other. So, avoid throwing back and the argument would stop instantly.

Last but not the least, I am hoping that my parents would learn from this incident and avoid any arguments in front of me.......Rather, they should try and avoid them completely........Doing this won't make them a machine for sure- lack of arguments doesn't make life mechanical; rather it gives you more time to enjoy the beauty that is called- Life.

So, "shed the baggage and get on with your life that you love" should be the new mantra. At least mine is that, what about yours!
