Casual Thoughtfulness!

Because I am a mother and because it is a very child centric profession, I have my blues to sing and yellows to dance on. It is such a 1-2-1 (as in b2b) work ethic that I am always focused on the things that she does and how I react and vice versa. Care the least of her association with others including the father. Although it does concern me how my product will behave and show social emotions to the rest of her kin and kinds. A constant debate is what goes on in the head to clarify all her actions starting with the way she sleeps, to brushing her teeth and to finish the food that is packed in her lunch box. Near or far, your one eye, one ear, one heart, one mind, one kidney, one liver, one stomach is always busy catering to her .

While cleaning one of my cupboards, I just found this interesting piece, something which I had written in 2003. I was taken aback by the innocence that existed. To my surprise, in these 7 years, the meaning of life has totally changed. Still somethings always stay close to the heart. Though kiddish, i am too eager to share this bit.. :) --- "Tiff and Tango" They praise me for what I am Admire the great friend in me Inspired by my love and affection So head over heals in love with my friendship Expect favors from me and make me expect even more Bless me and wish the best for me [1] Suddenly, the cupid’s arrow strikes Someone perfect has just knocked the door, right! They fall in love and life sings mellifluously And the inseparable pal is forgotten awfully Here the tiff between 'love' and 'friend' embarks The former is godlike and latter blown to dark Its the dear friend, has to understand [2] Blessings brighten, as silence remains golden ...
