Names of Authors

Mishti looking at my new book...

Mishti - 'Prem kabootar' - 'Manav Kaul'
Who is Manav Kaul?

Me - Author of this book

Mishti - But I never heard of this author

Me - There are so many authors. How many do you know?

Mishti - Rabindranath Tagore... J.K Rowling.... Ummmm.... Sudha Murthy... and .... (With a joy in her voice) Manabi Katoch :D

A proud moment for a mother :)

एकला चोलो रे....

दुर्गा अष्टमी की संध्या थी... मेरे अंदर का बंगालीपन अचानक जाग उठा और मैं गाने लगी...

"जोदी तोर डाक शुने केयू ना आशे तोबे एकला चोलो रे...."
एक दो लाइने गाने के बाद मिष्टी भी साथ हो ली और हम दोनों संग संग गाने लगे...

" जोदी केयू कोथा ना कोये....ओरे ओरे ओ ओभागा केयू कोथा ना कोये....जोदी शोबाई थाके मूक फिराये शोबाई कोरे भोये..."

गाना खत्म होते ही मिष्टी के चेहरे पर एक हल्की सी मुस्कान थी...
मैने उसे बताया कि ये रबिन्द्रनाथ टेगोर का लिखा हुआ गाना है।

मिष्टी ने तुरंत पूछा - "क्या मतलब है इसका?"

मैंने बताया - " इसका मतलब है कि अगर तुम्हारे बुलाने पे कोई न आये तो तुम अकेले चलो।"

मिष्टी - "ऐसा क्यों कहा रबिन्द्रनाथ टेगोर ने?

मैंने थोड़ा इतिहास समझाया और कहा कि ये आज़ादी की लड़ाई के दौरान लिखा हुआ गाना है। शायद वो कहना चाहते थे कि इस लड़ाई में कोई अगर तुम्हारा साथ न भी दे तो तुम अकेले ये लड़ाई लड़ो।

मिष्टी - पर वो तो राइटर थे...लड़ाई तो नही करते थे।

मैं - हाँ पर हो सकता है, ये उन्होंने आज़ादी की लड़ाई लड़ने वालों को सोच कर लिखा हो।

मिष्टी - (बिल्कुल तपाक से) मम्मा ये भी तो हो सकता है कि वो अकेले ही लिखते थे ना...

मैं - हाँ...

मिष्टी - तो उन्होंने किसीको लिखने के लिए बुलाया हो और वो नही आये तो वो अकेले ही लिखते रहे।

मैं - हाँ बेटू..ऐसा तो हमने कभी सोचा ही नही...ऐसा हो सकता है।

मुझे अपनी बात मानते देख मिष्टी खुश हो गयी और फिर से अपने खेल में मस्त हो गयी।

सच है! शायद रबिन्द्रनाथ ने इस बात की कभी परवाह नही की, कि कोई उनकी तरह लिख रहा है या नही...उन्हें जो कहना था...जो लिखना था ...वो अकेले ही लिखते चले गए... शायद तभी वो राबिंद्रनाथ बन पाए!
लेखक या कवि यदि इस भय से लिखने लगे कि उनके साथ कोई है या नही तो शायद फिर कभी कोई भी लेखक या कवि रबिन्द्रनाथ नही बन पाएगा!

Plants don't fart!

Every time Mishti farts....

Me - Mishti you need to drink more water!!

So while watering the plants one day....

Mishti (to herself) - Hmmm ....Now I know why plants don't fart!!

Owl

Owls sleep in the morning
and wake up at night!
their time table is upside-down
they stay up in the tree
we stay down on the ground

The Wind and the Sea

Once upon a time  the Wind  and Sea were good friends  One day the sea told the wind I'm stronger than you.                               Wind   -  No I'm.
Sea  - No I'm.
Sea - Let's see who can pull more

The sea put waves. So many wavesthat he was tired himself

Sea - You try wind ... :(

The wind could take the sea in his tummy.

Wind - Oh!!!! My tummy is so fat!!!!

Then one by one drops of water kept falling from the wind's tummy instead of the entire sea.

That's how it rains!! 😊😊😊

Moral - We all are different so we should not compare.

Padmavat

Today morning I was really in deliema over sending Mishti to school. Looking at my confusion...

Mishti - Mamma what happened... Is the school closed? (Little excitement can be seen on her face by now)

Me - No beta...but it can be..

Mishti - why

Me - Because some people don't want anyone to come out today and they are throwing stones on people on the roads

As if she was going to stop here...

Mishti - (again) Why

Me - Because there is this movie which they don't want anyone to watch

Mishti - (again) - Why??

Me - Because they believe that the history shown in the movie is not right and they believe that history should be always told correctly!

Mishti - So if they will hit people what will happen? They should just ask to correct the history in the movie.!

Me - Ya...they asked to.. but they are not sure if it is corrected and movies can show anything no... (I always tell her that movies and advertisements show anything for entertainment...not Everything is true)

Mishti - So the movie people should write that it's not a real story... And those who want to watch it will watch, those who don't want to they will not...

Me - Hmmm... You can understand...I don't know why they don't!

Mishti - But Mumma I have to go to school today no...

Me - Why... What is special in the school today ( I thought there might be some fun activity)

Mishti - We have hindi dictation no...

Me - ohh haan...

Mishti - In all this... You forgot about that only Mamma

And after having a heartful of laughter together...I dropped Mishti to the bus stop :)
