Taken Aback!

With my 4-yr old, I have to be on my toes at all times. A few days ago, frustrated at some action of hers, I called her “third class”. Cooly, without batting an eyelid, she said, “…and you are Middle Class”!
I wonder where kids today get such presence of mind?! The audacity is a different ballgame, altogether!

Fatherhood

Parenthood takes you back to “those days” - of green grass and blue skies (as denoted by the default Win XP background)! Watching my 4–yr old bloom into a brat, makes me relive my childhood. Her absurd sense of logic, her weird questions, take me back to my childhood, when I would think that wind was created when all the trees in the world started fanning us!

Being with children requires one to have a vivid imagination – to be a part of their lives. You just can’t be a parent. You’ve got to be a friend first, then a parent.

I love being a friend and father to my li’l angel – we’re on our way to “Finding Neverland”!
