Children's Day

Happy Children's day to Aryan, and other kids.

Aryan

Aryan is gaining exceeding popularity, especially amongst the females, though not of his age, yet. During his evening Sair, society kids won't let him go. During the other part of the day, his mother's Sahelis won't let him go. Often, even she is not aware about his exact location.

Last weekend, we went to a bank where the girl at the counter vanished with him for quite a while. After long, we noticed him being bamboozled by a group other female employees at the far corner. I must say he quite enjoyed the trip.

By the way, did I tell that he quite likes Shakira.

Lately, there are some new and interesting happenings going around. Minor things like - he now tries to hold his milk bottle, and sometime manages it all by himself, and that he has learned some Namaste type posture, clasping both hands in a peculiar manner.

After the musical "Gaya" and "Nayin" - "Arey" is the new word in his vocabulary which he uses quite lavishly. He has also developed some sort singing ability. That day he smiled and sang intermittently for more than one hour, and kept us smiling from ear to ear.

Now about the phenomenon which has kept us shocked. Now days he is smiling quite frequently, and he has developed some sort of liking for the ceiling fans, and wall clocks. The moment he catches them on his gaze, he smiles, and blushes(yes), turning his head away, only to look back again.

But this was not shocking as many kids do that with fans etc. Here is the shocking part. Even before he was born, we had pasted two Archie's posters of beautiful kids - one sleeping, and other one was a fat, smiling one on the wall.

Since fifteen days or so, that is before he caught fancy of fans and clocks, he actually began his smiling and blushing exercise with these posters. And repeatedly at that. At first we though it was just a coincidence, but to our disbelief he would do it every time he looked at them!

Now how on the earth did just a two and half month old kid know that he and those kids on the poster are of the same kind ! This was amazing, and is kind of mystery to crack. God has his own methods, and these kids know all of them.

Touch Wood. Nazar Na Lagey!
