Kids - How wonderful
While at temple we all prayed and my little one started running from one corner to another. My mom called him and explained to him that this is a sacred place, you should rather pray.
He quickly did "Namaste" and started running again. My aunt stopped him and said "you should ask him (god) something". My little one did "Namaste" again and tried to run away.
My aunt asked him "what did u ask?” Everybody started making their guesses "chocolates?", "Toys?", "Ice creams", "New clothes". He promptly replied NO, I asked for water to these plants. Everybody laughed at him and teased him.
And when he came to me, I assured him that he is the best & kissed him. He started running around again.
For a moment when I thought about the whole thing, I released how wonder we are as humans when we are born. Somewhere down the line as we grew up we have unlearnt some nice things and learnt some wrong things. Kids (we were all too) are so unconditional in loving. They find joy in doing things. They imagine with out limits and forgive easily.
We grow ups need reasons to like somebody, we have rigid opinions about people, we are result oriented, and most of us have self imposed pressure of being better than others.I am still wondering how wonderful world would be if we haven’t unlearnt those nice things.

---------------------------------------------I'll change--------------------------
Cleaning my room's floor
She gave me a loud roar
Lost in a movie full of thrill,
I wasn't moved nor did I shrill.
Her repeated tantrums
Failed to pierce my ear drums....
"How could you be so mean...?
Can’t you keep your room clean?
All the day u see me toil
Yet u play my perfect foil"
"I know ma, I’m a bit lazy
But by no means am I crazy...
I know u work very hard,
While I gallop around like a lord.
My acts I am aware are very silly,
But how I wish I could change so easily"
"But I'll change, I promise
And give my lethargy a miss
From my responsibilities never shall I run...
And will again stand up to be your proud son"
"Pardon me mom for one last time...
Meanwhile can u get me a glass of lime???????"
