Mera bachchaaaa!!

Thats the apple of my eye - Arnav! My 7 year old who gives me all the pleasures in the world.
When in his company, I just become another 7 year old and at times - a concerned and worried and 'responsible' dad! Its a sheer pleasure listening to his non stop chatter.

How many things can kids think about at one point of time! He is full of queries like any other child his age and I must say at times, he puts me in a fix. He has already started asking the most uncomfortable questions in the world.

I always keep hunting for analogies and though I pride myself in finding many, i must confess at times, its really tough. "You know this is just like that box of crayons you have..Just the way it has so many colours, same way..umm..aaa...this too.."...and before I could pride myself in finding a perfect analogy and having successfully described a thing he put his finger on, he would come up with another mind boggler!

Kids are always a delight. They take you to a world of excitement, fun and enthusiasm that you for a while forget all your stupid thoughts and laugh out loud! :D

Give me REDDDD!!

It will be sometime before I get used to the blogging ways. I visited some of the blogs and should I say I was bowled over by the effort that went into them! Its not only about writing, its also about organizing thoughts and laying them out in a user friendly way.

"Why do people jump red lights?" - I have asked myself this question time and again. Okay, since I am also a part of the 'people', Let me ask myself - "Why do I jump red lights?"

These are some of the answers that strike me:

1. It gives me sheer pleasure. In fact nothing beats the pleasure of having successfully jumped a red light. It gives me a feeling of superiority that I am smarter than the poor guys who follow the rules.

2. I suffer from colour blindness and often confuse Red with Green. Usually that colour blindness lasts till the time I am driving. I do not bring red vegetables home when my wife asks me to get fresh green ones.

3. I had already had the frustration of waiting at 3-4 red lights in a row and I just can't bear the stress anymore. So, I decide that no matter what the next one is going to be, I WILL cross it anyway.

4. Last but not the least, the ubiquitous phenomenon the world thrives on - "I am getting LATE!!".
Yes Yes! MY time is important. My bachcha is waiting for me home hoping Pappa dear will bring him some lollipops he promised. I am having a business meeting with Bill Gates and he has already waited for a good 35 minutes. After all, he too is a busy man like me. My wife has been waiting with the samosas she prepared for the evening naashtaa and has threatened she would feed me the same in dinner if I got late. So, you get my point right??

Kuchch toh Blog kahenge!

I believe if Internet was available in primitive ages, Valmiki would have blogged the entire 'Ramayana'. Poor guy had to hand write the entire epic. Anyways, I hope this blog turns out to be as epical. Jokes apart, I don't exactly know why I decided to write a blog. Like some of my dear friends, who get to share the joys of motherhood - pre and post delivery, I don't have anything real to share. Other than of course the mundane stuff of life which throws me into the whirlpool every now and then and expects me to come out alive. And the very fact that I am writing this shows that I AM ALIVE and kicking!

So, till the time I can write, I will. And till the time some of the poor readers who happen to 'discover' my blog by serendipity (like you did) keep dropping, I am not complaining!

"Kuchch toh blog kahenge, Blogs ka kaam hai kehna" :)
