The bollywood effect

A humdinger indeed! Brat came to me this morning to show me a poem that she wrote, which went quite like this:
“Oh Seema baby punch it
Oh Bheema will you lock it”

Well two lines were enough, to leave the gullible mother’s jaw dropping and hitting the floor hard followed by some nail biting, hard thinking and formulating a quick plan-of-action! Surrounded by Lungi dance, Lazy lad, Sheela and what not, poems like these are bound to happen. Bhajans! That is what this household is going to play from now on.

I shall proudly announce to the husband that the situation has been tackled with utmost intelligence and intense study of all theories postulated on ‘Cause and Effect’ Syndrome.

Brat can now gyrate her bottom to Payo ji and Vaishnava jana to. This mother will carefully satiate her appetite for Bollywood music only while the daughter is away at school.

    Lolz.. Quite a poem there. I't does rhyme :-D. I too thought of bringing home bhajans and I do too have an appetite for Bollywood music and I too have a pair of impressionable 7 year olds who want to know the 'meaning' of every word. I sure know what you're talking about!

    Ha ha ha!! Totally agree and imagining the "Brat can now gyrate her bottom to Payo ji and Vaishnava jana to." Wonder how that will be :)

    This is both hilarious and true. At home, everything of every genre plays at loud volume in equal measure. I tend to not give too much importance to the Bollywood moves. Hopefully that will fade with time.

The boon called Forgetfulness

As I scamper fast towards old age at breakneck speed…will mental faculties remain far behind! But one of the things I have come to love is diminishing memory cells. Brat: Mama! “You sent craft book instead of art book today!” Aging mother: “Sorry darling, I forgot!” (better than telling her I thought art and cratft are the same!) Forever Young Husband: “Give me the receipts I told you to keep aside” Lazy Wife: “You know my problem na. It is safer that you to take up filing/ safe-keeping of all important papers” (Phew! finally!) Brat(in utter panic): “Mama, Junior is chewing my pencil” SHRIEK Aging-lazy Mama: “Chewing pencils sharpens memory! Maybe I should try that!” In-laws: “You haven’t called in three weeks now” Aging me: “Oops! I forgot you were away!” So, when one takes everything in one’s stride, limitations become blissful. Who says forgetfulness is about getting old…forgetfulness of the trivial is ecstacy! It is utter bliss to live in the present...

Tooth fairy comes visiting

As dramatic as mornings can get, today was no different. The early morning madness just got more dramatic today, with the long-threatening tooth deciding to disembark, while brushing. What followed was much excitement and triumphant announcements, the world had to know, who cares if they are sleeping! As the said tooth needed some rinsing for presentability and display purposes, the earnest mother suggested that it be run under the tap, while the most horrendous thing happened and it slipped and fell into the drain of the wash-basin, from Brat’s hand. What followed was of course more high decibel activity, with screams and wails, as to how I could suggest something so horrid, and how now, the tooth fairy will never find anything. All this, while the precious minutes and seconds were racing, before the dreaded yellow bus sounded the honk across the road! So, we decided to write to the tooth fairy, sincerely narrating what happened. Be merciful tooth fairy. This is su...

Marathon Bloggers: August Challenge: 3 Pet Peeves

My personal vexations that annoy me, top three, off the top of my head: (1)    My obsessiveness with orderliness! The number of hours I spend putting those godforsaken toys in their respective places, designate jars that stock essentials in the fridge, file those mundane papers, and yes! the fixation with labelling and honouring it, while putting things back, only to have Brat and Junior scatter everything all over the very next minute!   If only I had spent all these hours at the gym… (2)    Huh! The advise that I attract: a.       Arbit person who stops by to admire Junior: “ You MUST oil his hair. It’ll keep his head cool!” b.       Pesky neighbour, never seen with her child “You MUST NOT  leave her alone, have you even heard of the things that are happening these days” (Brat is always accompanied by me outside the house and school, and trust me, this neighbour is never once seen with...
