The Magic of Innocence

-

Childhood is one of the precious stages of life where your soul is pure and free from egos. Everything you see and do is from the view of a brain which do not have a single spot of darkness. No wonder why children are sometimes considered God’s replica. My kids are no exception and when I have a chat or hear to their stories my heart fills with pure joy. Sometimes they make me chuckle, melt my heart or leave me dumbstruck. Here I want to capture some of those notes from my 4-year-old which came out of pure innocence.


1.      During summer of 2019 we visited Wilstem Ranch one of the places where kids will have educational encounters with few animals. After a tiring morning, kids are full of hunger and want to satisfy their appetite. I am trying to feed them as fast I can so that we can continue our next quest of the day. After a spoon or two my Strawberry-blueberry (Akshar’s new and favorite nick name since July 2019) suddenly poses a question: Amma, why are you not eating. Despite hunger, he did not forget to check on Mom’s food.


2.      His new request is to get a new car or replace Mom’s car with a new one. He repeats this request occasionally. Over the weekend he was casually conversing with his dad when getting dressed. And then he popped out his routine request. His dad replied calmly that he does not have money since we recently purchased another car(Dad). Then Akshar swiftly replied we can use cards(Credit Card). While Krishna is awestruck with an open mouth and trying to find a follow-up statement, I hid my face so that I don’t burst out laughing in front of the kids. Oh my pre-ker!


3.      I bought a new kitchen appliance and somehow the opening/closing of this new one is little troubling. In the beginning I had to ask Krishna’s help in understanding the mechanism. He was not successful and then later after multiple trials I figured that myself. Being an Engineer you approach it with a detailed analysis that would let you uncover the mystery :P . Akshar always peeks at the new items in home and tags with me when I am cooking. So it's not unusual for him to remember the first fiasco when his two parents attacked the appliance to understand the functioning and then noticing mom opening it easily after few days.  What caught me is his comment after the later incident. “Amma you did it! Nana was not able to” . Ahem Ahem I am super hero in the eyes of my kiddo…


4.      Maternal grandparents visited the kids for 2 weeks during the Summer(2019) and Akshar had fabulous time with them. Especially he knows what a fun it is to play with GrandDad. He misses them and constantly pesters me once in a week to get them back. During their visit my dad’s spectacles broke. Akshar noticed it and then he informed me “Tata” needs new glasses. When he needs something he approaches me and requests for the new thing, be it a toy or food or clothes. And he felt it’s the same with Tata. In a way he kind of made me realize “Grandparents are also my responsibility in addition to him and his brother”. ðŸ˜Š

'NAA PERU BUDUGU.INKO PERU PIDUGU.MA BAMMA HAARI PIDUGA ANTUNDHI.....' a perfect introduction about this frisky child. This is one of my favourite cartoon characters.Every year book exhibition will be arranged in my home town during the first week of january.And by default it was my dad's responsbility to take me there. Inspite of his busy schedule he spares a day for me in that week and finally I will be getting my precious new year gifts(ofcourse lots of books).I think I was in my sixth standard when my father bought this beautifull book for me from book exhibition. Before and after that I got many books in addition to weeklies like 'BALA MITHRA' 'CHANADAMAMA' 'TINKEL'.......But I don't know why this character fascinated me more when compared to others.I read the book so many times that my dad had to face the wrath of my mom for my wastage of time. BUDUGU character is just like the children in our household.The way he creates troubles, he quest...

Value of Hunger

Yesterday when I visited one of my cousin's orkut album I found a pultizer prize winning picture. This picture is taken in 1994 during sudan famine.In this picture a child is crawling towards United Nations camp for the food which is 1 km away.Behind her a vulture is watching for her to die so that it can feast on her. This picture is taken by kevin carter.It seems he was depressed a lot after taking this picture and he commited suicide. After seeing the picture I searched about him in the google and found that he was depressed a lot and he use to sit under a tree and cry for not helping the child.No one knows what happened to the child. Even he wrote letters in the name of god asking him to forgive. After reading about this I am shocked and it took more than an hour for me to recover. After this I started thinking about the wastage of food. Daily we waste lots of food.We do it intentionally or unintentionally.There are thousands of innocent people dying all over the world, every...
