The ways you love ..

..Not just me , not your papa , but all the near and dear ones..

You still remember your dadi fell down around 1.5 years back in bath room and hurt her back a little. You still kisses her back to sooth when she comes.

You still remember that your nani had a fracture in wrist and you talk to her about it every now and then.

You point to kids on TV and on road who have little resemblance to Anirudh or your other cousins.

You miss your Bua and didi for days, when you meet them once in few months and you always remember the ways you played with them.

You want to visit your dadi and taiji each time you see an aeroplane.

You would suddenly start talking to your cousins , imagining them around you, when they are 2500 kms apart.

You would want to talk your dadi and nanu on phone almost every day and would share the details of your school and creche with them, also would narrate ABCD and all the knowledge that you have accquired.

You would want to talk to all the relatives over the phone , every once in a while, when neither they nor you would know what to talk. You would still feel happy to listen to their voices.

You would suddenly gel with certain people whom you never met and will talk about them for days after meeting them.

You are attached to all the kids and maids in day care and remember tiny details of how they talk or how they say certain words and would tell those to me.

You would love the way your dadu calls you "beti" , dadi calls you "betu" , mumma calls you "beta" , papa says "yes beta" and nanu says "mera bacha".

You would remember the compliment your nani gives , "Aryan is a good boy" and say it in her accent.

You would miss your toys , especially engine and car , while on vacation.

You would jump at the site of your previous house and say "Old Ghar Jana Hai".

You would tell me , that though you enjoy the school , you still want to stay with mumma and papa.

I failed to record all this last year , better late then never :-)

Happy Birthday Sweet Heart !
