She was standing near me with her hands around my neck.Watching the sky.It was about sunset.Shhhh.......I spoke gently to her ears.Listen to the chripping of birds.They are getting back to their nest.She stood still.Shhhh... dont make any noise.You can see birds getiing back to the nest.Some might even come near us,fly over the terrace.Having said that,I wondered if she stood still will some bird come to us.Yes ,there came a bat,flew very close to us.I was releived and she was smiling at me ,standing still.There was something magical about the moment.

You were then nearly 2 years old when I wrote the above lines.Now you are 4 and half years.I stumbled upon this blog again,when I was looking for a blog where I could post the latest projects from 3DBricks.So nice to read this again.I felt that I was standing on the terrace of the rented house in Kaithamukku.We both used to go there everyday evening to escape from the heat of summer.
My dear you are so naughty at 4 years.You give me a hell of a time to get you ready for school.Everyday you come up with a new reason for not going to school
Today you had an interesting demand.You wanted me to get into the time machine and become younger.Young enough to become your friend and come to school with you.You were happily explaining what all we could so when we are together.How we could take revenge on some of your friends ,who you think always tells you "katti" for no reason.
Dont you want your mother.I asked..yes ...of course.When we are back from school,I have to get inside the time machine again and become my original self.
Pretty good idea....Only problem is that you are not old enough to understand that Time Machine was only a story I told you to make you eat breakfast fast .You are a fuzzy eater,and I have to come up with interesting stories that capture your imagination enough that you wont bother about how much or what you are eating.That is the time when I can feed you as much as vegetables I want.You will be so absorbed in the story...
