Mish I must say, putting you to sleep is a rather tough job! Hari thatha had devised a method of putting you to sleep within 5 mins.. By singing baba black sheep loudly! somehow the repetition of baba baba along with the rocking motion would put you to deep sleep. In fact, thatha used to gloat about the fact that he was the only one in the family who could put you to sleep within 10 mins!
But you decided around 2 weeks back that thatha had gloated enough! And so you started howling as soon as thatha would start with even "baba". You have now left him looking frantically for other options to regain his lost glory!
These days your favorite song happens to be "raabta". You usually go to sleep listening to that song. Occasionally, I play my favorite tracks from yanni.. you love that as well! You listened to a lot of yanni when you were in amma's tummy, so ammas not surprised that you like yanni!
You look like a doll when you sleep. I love just gazing at you while you are sleeping.. Both your paatis have told me that's not a very good thing to do.. Kannu pattudum they say.. But I'm not going to miss out on these precious moments! Love you mishi!
Mishi,
ReplyDeleteThis is so unlike your father. You have to read "how to sleep in 5 mins" by Arun Ram J
