The seconds hand !

This is the time when I am enjoying the age of my growing kids the most. Sometimes I feel very happy, content, sometimes frustrated and highly irritated. But Life goes on. That’s why its said that time is eternal, limitless and without any boundaries. I have two sons, one is 9 years and little one is 4 years. And like any other mother I adore them despite all the hitches and hurdles they create in smooth running of home. They are my treasures. My younger son always inspire me to write, he is always unto something new and interesting and compel me to pen down my thoughts.

Now days he is all excited to see the clock. Yes! Clock. Sounds weird. Isn't it? He screams whenever he sees a clock and become excited to see the moving seconds hand. He will ask me to give a glance to the clock. And I can’t stop myself staring him. He himself never loses the sight of seconds needle moving. Yes, I understand, at his age any moving non-living thing is an object of enthusiasm and eagerness. But I am amused and eager to know what his little mind is interpreting a moving time?

We cannot read other's mind but what makes him excited for this moving object? He feels more ecstatic when the seconds needle moves to 3 and then to 6. Is he also moving with it? Is he moving with the time? Or is his just missing the time passing by ? These questions screams inside me for the answer. Well ! I may get the answer or may be not. But I just enjoy the seconds when he watches the seconds hand in the clock and his eyes gleam as if he is getting his favorite toy. Time stands still then and leave me as soon as he leaves. 

Of course! It’s not necessary to know all the answers. Life remains unanswerable, as always! :)

हैप्पी बर्थडे आरिन !

वो झिलमिलाती हंसी

वो आँखों में शरारत

वो नन्हे हाथॊ से

मुझे छूना ,

वो छोटी छोटी उंगलीयो से

मेरे गालॊन को सहलाना

वो तेरा तेज़ी से दौड़ना

और मेरे ऊपर जम्प लगाना !

वो तेरे ढेरॊन सवाल

और उनके  मुश्किल जवाब

वो तेरा टॉयज के लिए मचलना

वो तेरा टीवी के लिए रोना

वो तेरा चॉकलेट के लिए

झीकना

वो तेरा घूमने जाने के लिए

मनाना

वो तेरा लेटेस्ट फ़िल्मी गाने गाना

वो तेरा टीवी में देखके

डांस कॉपी करना !

वो तेरा हमेशा अपनी पसंद के

कपढ़े निकाल कर पहनना

और सारी अलमारी खराब कर देना

वो तेरे मीठे बातें बनाना

और उन्हें बार बार सुनाना

वो बड़े भाई से लड़ना

और फिरउसी के साथ

खेलना !

यह सब कुछ सालों में खो जाने है,

और तुझे एक समझदार और परिपक्व

इंसान बन जाना है !

पर मैं वहीं हूँ  अभी

जब तीन साल पहले तुमने आकर

मेरा घर खुशबू से भर दिया था !

मैं हमेशा यहीं रहूंगी

इन् नन्हे कदमॊ के साथ

इन् प्यारी बातों के साथ

इन् नन्ही  उंगलियों के साथ

इन् शरारती आँखों में

इस छोटे से आलिंगन में

सदा ही !

हैप्पी बर्थडे आरिन !

This is Winter of 2010, Akshit getting ready for the school. This is the first he will be wearing Tie and Belt, a Blazer and pants with Zip. This uniform will mark his coming 12 years. Well, the thought gave me to click him in his first ever uniform. God bless him.

Aarin, 9 months

We bought a beautiful yellow chair for Aarin and he thoroughly njoys it. He is a happy child and learn very fast.

Sunil is very much attached to Aarin as I am to Akshit. He is very pround of this little bundle of joy. Many times I thank GOD for giving me such a wonderful family.Love you guys.

Akshit always was reluctant to wear muffler-cap but to my surprise one fine evening he wore thisblue cap-muffler. And to make most of it, I clicked him. He is my handsome HERO. :)

My color GREEN

Today is Green day in my 5 year old son's school. I sen him in green attire with green vegetables and fruits. then I went to the local park for a walk. I felt like nature is contributing its bit today on this Green Day in his school.

That mesmerizing smell of plants and wet mud always haunt me. Since our childhood days we only knew one color green and that is of our national Tricolor Flag, though we were surrounded with green as well. As if that green color is giving a strong sense of freedom to live and breathe, the breeze was very pleasant and exuberant and I felt like picking my car and go for a long drive. 

But then thanks to globalization & hike in petrol prizes because of which I keep myself at home. Not even me, others are also avoiding long drive. I am sure my long drive will change to a long crawl in the traffic jams on Ring road or Gurgaon - Jaipur highway. Well ! this is an irony that such a beautiful weather will be wasted because of car population blast. So I better should confine to the comfort of my room. Anyways today is CW Games trail, so moving out will be a foolish thing to do on my part. But this will not dampen my spirit to feel the ecstasy of this beautiful weather, enchant and enlightenment of GREEN.

SO GO GREEN !
