Angel(lost in her own world): Mama, I feel like we are in a dream, but that's not true, we are real.

Me (to humour her): What if we are actually in a dream?

Angel: What if somebody is dreaming about daddy, daddy is dreaming about us, you are dreaming about me and I am dreaming this!

I wonder if the idea of nested dreams in 'Inception' came from a child! :D

I love the song "Chanda re, chanda re" from the movie Sapney and sometime last year, it was stuck in my head and I was singing it on a loop. That's when Angel picked it up and surprised me by singing the first two lines!

A few days back I was singing the song after a long time and she exclaimed it's a space song (because moon, I had to ask for an explanation)

When I explained the meaning of the first few lines she started laughing hard.

The song is -                          "Chanda re Chanda re, 
                                               kabhi to zameen par aa

                                               Baithenge, Battein karenge

                                               Tujhko aate idhar, laaj aaye agar

                                               Odh k aaja tu baadal ghane"

(A very) Rough Translation - "Oh Moon, Oh Moon, 
                                                come to Earth some day, 
                                                we will sit and chat

                                                If you feel shy while coming here, 
                                                wrap around some dense clouds and come"

She said it's so funny it doesn't make any sense!!!

I will never be able to sign the song without laughing again because when I think about it, it actually doesn't make sense!

Yesterday, she reminded me of the same song and asked me to sing the next lines, I did and explained the meaning to her.

It goes like this       "Chanda se puchhenge 
                                hum saare sawal nirale

                                Jharne kyon gaate hai, 
                                panchhi kyon matwale?"

Rough Translation: "We will ask the moon 
                                all kinds of questions.

                                Why do the waterfalls sing, 
                                why are the birds so merry?"

Angel: Moon doesn't have a mouth, whoever has written this song is not very smart!
