ये लो, अब करो प्यारी

आज शाम को कुछ ज्यादा ही मस्ती चल रही थी घर में। देखता हूँ कि भाग दौड़ चल रही  है। आर्यन आगे आगे और उसकी मैया  पीछे पीछे।

अ - बस मैया, प्यारी व्यारी कुछ नहीं
मैया - अच्छा, बस एक

(पिछले दिनों से आर्यन को एक नयी शरारत सूझी है - वो है चूमे जाने पर उसे हाथ से साफ कर देने की और हँसते हुए कहने की "लो तुम्हारी प्यारी साफ़")

अ - बस बस .,
मैया - चल  तू ही बता दे कहाँ प्यारी दूं, जो तू साफ़ नहीं करेगा।

आर्यन सोचते हुए - टिक टाक टिक टाक - और अपने पैरों के तले की तरफ इशारा करते हुए "OK, यहाँ, मैया यहाँ करो प्यारी"

 अररररे ... कहते हुए मैया भागी।

देखता हूँ कि फिर से भाग दौड़ शुरू। बस इस बार बेटा पीछे पीछे और मैया आगे आगे !!! :)

Timepass

July 2008 -- The world isn't kept running because it's a paying proposition. (God doesn't make a cent on the deal.) The world goes on because a few men in every generation believe in it utterly, accept it unquestioningly; they underwrite it with their lives – Henry Miller. Today I kept one day off – off from the world, one day away from any kind of work; I call it “the real upavaas” (wherein when people go on without food for one day) !!!   and I find it too less. The world around is so rich – the people, things, music, literature – rich of treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people; we just need to develop an interest in it and forget about ourselves for some time. It is very interesting to see how we elevate the importance of “I/myself” in our daily life and how big an issue we make out of ourselves each day – wherein the truth is that we are only a spark in the whole scheme of universe which is continuing since milleniums. In the whole perspective, our lives are...

Aaryan and Gurudwara/Church

  The world seems beautiful as I look into the eyes of my 3.5 year old son who is happily spinning away yarns sitting on a swing in the Empress Gardens. His eyes twinkle when I mention on our way back home that there is a Gurudwara nearby and perhaps we can drop in. I know he wants to buy a Kada (steel/iron bracelet) and shall be overjoyed...but little do I suspect that the brief visit would openup a flurry of questions in the days to come … While we are spending a leisurely time in our terrace in the evening – looking at the noisy street and varied people, Aaryan asks “Baba, why do we go to Gurudwara?” Me: “ To pray to the God” A:  “and temple?” Me: “Same to pray” as I prepare myself for tougher questions now A: “then why Gurudwara” I pause for a moment and then say “Well, there are more such places of worship. There is a temple, gurudwara, church and mosque. Some people go the temple and call themselves Hindu while some go to Gurudwara and are Sikhs. Chr...

A Grandfather's Tale: Dreams, Laughter, and Aaryan

  A Grandfather's Tale: Dreams, Laughter, and Aaryan There are days when the house is quiet, save for the rustling of leaves outside, and I find myself sitting in my favorite armchair, lost in memories. The scent of marigolds, the sound of a child’s laughter, and the taste of sweet, forbidden treats—they all come rushing back, like a vivid dream I never want to wake from. These are the memories of my time with Aaryan, my grandson, my little adventurer, who turned my world upside down in the most wonderful ways. Our mornings together were always a magical beginning. The first light of dawn would filter through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the walls, and soon enough, I’d hear the pitter-patter of little feet. “Dadu, the sun is awake! It’s time for our walk!” Aaryan would call out, his voice full of excitement. He was never one to let the day slip by without squeezing every ounce of adventure from it. Our morning walks were not just a routine; they were a daily journey into a ...
