29th February

After months of silence, I feel like posting something on my blog on one of my busiest days. It’s a strange fact that the thought of restarting my blog never occurs to me when I am totally idle, and when it strikes me on days like these, I always taalofy it thinking that I will write something when I have some time to spare but that never happens. So today, when I have a looott of work from office, I have to cook and what not, I still decided to write.

I have always been fascinated by 29th February. We always celebrate our birthdays, anniversaries and festivals like Holi, Diwali, etc, so shouldn't we celebrate a day which comes just once in four years, well, since my childhood, I have always believed that we should. After all, it’s an extra day in the year when we can live, love, laugh and follow our dreams. I still remember that my class teacher of Std 4 had her birthday on this day. She was actually 40 years old, but I had calculated that she is my age (at that time) :)

So a very happy birthday to you Ma’am!!

And yes, let’s celebrate this day to keep it in our memory till it comes again after four long years...

Happy Birthday :)

Today is MN's birthday. She is all of three years today. On this occasion, I will dedicate a poem to her (Its not written by me, I got it from somewhere and have modified to suit her, so the copyright is not mine but reflects my feelings :P )

Now listen up, young lady, I'm talkin' to thee
You've reached the age that they call 'Tantrum Three'.
An age that drives many a young mom mad
While helplessly looks on, the err... helpless Dad.

I see you've started on the path
of terrorising your parents already
There's a naughty twinkle in your eye
Your gait's no longer unsteady

Gone are the days when you only knew
how to pee, poo, eat, gurgle and crawl
Now you've discovered the power
Of the prolonged high-pitched bawl

You make so much noise, you drive ‘em neighbours insane
Every now and then they come-a-knocking to complain
But when I plead, "Sing for me, put on a show?"
You toss your tiny little head and say a flat "No".

You’ve spilled, broken, shrieked, and still refused to eat
You have thrown things out the window on to the street!
You’ve taken red crayons and scribbled on the white wall
When you grow up, here are some things for you to recall

Some day when you’re all grown up
And feel that your parents are driving you mad
"Mom doesn’t get me at all!” You'll rant.
“And don't even get me started on Dad!"

I'd like you to come back here
And read all the things you did
At Tantrum Three, you drove ‘em mad abundantly
But they still loved you, you naughty li’l kid.
