The doll in the front is my first doll. Don’t even remember who got it for me but looks like I will save it for ever.
The doll that’s around my neck is a more recent one. Whenever I feel like imitating my mother I pull these dolls out.
Today mom was not feeling well. So father came early – that’s at 8 pm- and gave me dinner. After dinner while he checked his emails, I drew this piece.
When my father came back from office I heard my mother say: “she was a darling. She offered to wipe the floor if she dropped water and also offered water to me, from her water bottle.”
“didn’t disturb me at all….”
I was happy to know that my mother liked my behaviour.
Now for the drawing: Spot the cloud, rain, rainbow, bird and the grass.
Today I got a birthday card from my school. This is one of my firsts because nobody has evergiven me a birthday card – probably because they think I don’t know to read (which is actually true) or probably because nobody cares.
The truth is, after reciving the birthday card from my teacher I didn’t know what to do. I stood there….waiting for the next instructions. Thats when my teacher said: “Open it and see the nice flowers. And also show it to your father and mother.”
My first Birthday Card
My mother was also excited. When I showed her, she did mention about recieving birthday cards from my father when they weren’t married. Apparently, my father has stopped giving my mother birthday cards after their marriage.
If you haven’t yet got all the hints I have been giving you…here is a straight one: “Wish me happy birthday now!”
We generally buy my clothes at Arjun Marg in Gurgaon. Whenever we go to buy clothes for me, my mother squeezes in one or two for herself as well.
My father and I keep fooling around on the bed on most mornings. And if its winter, God save my mother….we never get out of the bed. What helps is that my father is very creative – he can make up lots and lots of stories for me. While he helps me think beyond what I am capable of, my mother keeps me reined in with her methodical and ground-reality approach. So we are quite a family.
What this video in which my father an dI try to marry off two tooth brushes. Do use your keen ear while I say the vows.
