Morning scene

   Every day is an amazing day with my li'l one.He keeps us in very good spirits with his innocent talks or activities. But today he sprang a surprise on me early in the morning in the bed itself. As usual, after I finished my routine work, I came to wake him up. With all the usual talk and play, I tried to make some noise with which to stir him out of bed. In a very matter of fact way, he said, "yeh awaz bandh karo"(stop this noise). Without realising what he is talking about, I asked which noise? Without even opening his eyes he said, "naani ki awaz bandh karo, sona hai" (stop nani's noise, I want to sleep). It took me a second to realise and I burst out laughing so loudly that others in the house came running to find out what had happened...!

   He hates going to school like many children.He does not mind getting up early but going to school... a big no. And he knows once he gets up nani will pack him off to school. Hence all the fuss. Here's a picture of him on a happy day playing cricket with his friend in our garden.
