Chiku says

“Achcuse me mumma”. To distract me or just like that. She ones said “achcuse me aunty” to a hospital receptionist who was busy booking an appointment for a patient.
“I love u cho much mumma”. This is followed by a peck on the cheek, ofcourse my cheek. This is when I am angry and upset with chiku and don’t want to fall prey to her requests and demands.
“Mumma sit”. This is when I come back from office and Chiku eagerly points me to the sofa so that I can sit and she can sit on my lap and talk.
“Mumma, amma house jaana hai”. This is, as soon as she wakes up in the morning. Occurrence only on weekdays.
On Weekends, it is “Goo Morning”, which is followed by a tight hug. Something about Chiku, when she hugs, I feel so loved.
All her demands are followed by my stern command “what will you say”, and she says “please”.
"Please mumma I want Kaju(cashewnuts)” or “Please mumma, I want choice(chocolate)”.

One of the days when I went home early and was having lunch with Chiku, I was eating the normal rice and dal, she had a bowl full of chevda. Just to make my meal yummy, I put my hands in her bowl and took some chevda, to which chiku's reaction was "arey". I obviously ignored. Then again I repeated the same thing, put my hands in her bowl and took some more chevda, to which she sternly said "arey mumma ye kya kar rahi ho tum. Ye mera hai" (mumma, what are you doing. This is my chevda.)

Papa mere Papa

Chiku sings: "Chanda ne pucha Kaaro se, Kaaro ne pucha haajaro se"
I interrupt: "Chiku, its not Kaaro, its Taaro"
Chiku continues: " Taaro se, Kaaro ne pucha hajaaro se"
I sigh.
She makes a cup of her palms and swings her arm from left to right, and continues :
"sab se pyaara kaooooon hai ??"
I smile and think how cute, doesn't matter if its Taaro or Kaaro :)
She taps her left foot couple of times and says : " Papa mere papa"
She continues “Papa bina kaon choconanet naayega, Mummy bina kaon aaori sunayega”
She puts her hand to the forehead, twitches her eyebrows “kabhi na na na majvur karna mummy daddy se na humme na dur karna”

Lords Promise

Every monsoon I yearn to see the rainbow or rainbows. I haven't seen rainbowS except in pics. Looking at the rainbow makes me happy and light, mainly cause, like the Bible says its the Lord's promise to NOT end the world with a deluge.
Yesterday, on my way back home from work, it was drizzling light showers and I was sort of exhausted due to the traffic jams and was cursing myself for not carrying umbrella. As I stepped out of the rickshaw to walk homewards, I saw this young gal posing her camera-phone skywards. I looked at her and then looked at the sky. Lo behold, there was this beautiful sight waiting to be captured. I saw 2 beautiful massive (as in complete) Rainbows like 2 concentric circles. Beautiful, thy promise, my Lord.
