Hey, Dusht Raavan! Seetaji ko Sorry bolo



Bad days happen to best of us. 

One day it happened to me and I was thinking about the goodness of carefree days of my childhood while going back to home from work. I was tired. I didn't want to talk to anyone. 

'Knock Knock' I banged the door. 

As soon as the door opened, I heared a cute voice calling me 'Hey, Dusht Raavan! Aaj aap jaldi kyun nahi aye?'

That's my niece. Kashwi. I call her Kashu. 

Listening to her, I got into my role and informed her "Ramji, office me kaam tha'.

'Dusht Raavan' She tells me again as her problem was bigger than mine. Why didn't I come home on time when she had to go for swimming classes? 

For about an hour or so, she showed how upset she was with me with all her actions like 'I want to play with dadi', Mumma hi khana khilayegi', 'You go back to Bhopal', 'Papa is my favourite'. I don't know if anyone would it believe or not, but I was jealous. Now I had to make the best attempt to win her. 

I decided to use the राम बाण!   

'Kashu, pata hai ek baar kya hua?'

She came running to me and asked 'Kya?'

I smiled at her innocence-filled act and curiosity to learn a new story. 

Now I decided to talk about her favourite story of her favourite character Ramji. When I started telling her any situation, she completed it in her cute little version.  She got all excited at Ramji's win over Raavan at the end of story.

'Seetaji Seetaji, aap khan ho?' She screamed.

I being Raavan told her 'Seetaji ko maine Ashok Vatika me band kar diya hai'.

'Dusht Raavan, Main apki pitty kar dunga, talwar...nahi dhanush se' She warned me. 

I begged 'Please Ramji, mujhe jane do, Sorry'

'Achha, next time aise nahi karna, ok? Seetaji ko sorry bolo.'

I was amazed with her interpretation of whole situation. According to her Raavan committed a mistake and once he realised his mistake, he apologised, so he had to be forgiven. Isn't it wonderful in her own beautiful world of understanding? 

I forgot about all the stress I had and slept smilingly thinking about unexpected end to our Ramleela that day.  

Kashu makes me laugh even when I am most tired, stressed, agitated or angry' She has this beautiful ability to see silliness in everything and to find joy all around her. She notices little things and makes them beautiful.

I hope someday, sometime, when you grow up as a beautiful girl, you find time (and this blog link...hehe) to read this little write up about you bringing smile to my face and filling my life with millions of colors. 

I love you!

Noopur :)

कीरत, भुआ और खिड़की

सोफे से अचानक उतरकर, उसने अपनी कोमल उंगलियों से मेरा हाथ थामा और ले चला मुझे खिड़की के सामने रखी बेंच की ओर।अब समय हो चला था हमारा खिड़की की सलाखों के बाहर बसी दुनिया की सैर करने का। थोड़ी खुद की कोशिश और थोड़ी मेरी मदद से, कीरत बेंच पर चढ़ने का काम पूरा कर चुका था। उसके चेहरे की खुशी देखते हीबनती है। हाँलाकि यह हमारा लगभग रोज़ का नियम है, परंतु कीरत का उत्साह हर दिन मानो बढ़ता ही जाता है। उसकी चंचल ऑंखें सबसे पहले खोजती हैं, आकाश में उड़ते पंछियों को... अगर पंछियों का झुंड दिख जाए, तो आकाश में पंछी उड़तेहैं और घर की बेंच पर कीरत चहकता है। इस बीच अगर उसे सड़क पर चलते कुत्ते दिख जाऐं, तो भरसक कोशिश करेगा उन्हें अपने पास बुलाने की। तालियाँ बजाकर अपना उत्साह ज़ाहिर करेगा। उस नन्हें मन की ख़ासियत यह है कि उसे सड़क से गुज़रती साइकिल भी उतनी ही पसंद है, जितनी एक कार।वो सभी को 'बाय' कहता है...उम्मीद में की उसे जवाब मिलेगा। कभी-कभी जब उसे जवाब नहीं मिलता, तब मेरी ओर देखकर अपनी निराशा व्यक्तकरता है। पर ये निराशा बस पल भर की ह

Singlehood makes me Stronger!

Hi, I am Noopur, 29, Single. Not alone. Well, with no offence to all the married people, singlehood sometimes feels like a blessing in disguise to me. I am sure you guys lead a very wonderful, happy & complete life, and I wish you much more happiness in life; but mine is also no less than a beautiful story. Somebody loving you must be a great feeling. A lot of times I have been asked - 'Are you single?' with so much pity. Let me tell you people, I am SINGLE - Not ALONE.  I am blessed with a loving family, doting parents, encouraging friends and a fulfilling job. Yes! The quote that best describes me is; 'I am perfect in my imperfections, happy in my pains, strong in my weaknesses and beautiful in my own ways. I am who I meant to be. I am my past, my present and who I want to be. I am not anyone, I am all three. I am work in progress, a destiny. I am who I choose to be.' I have my times of feeling bored, low, unwanted and not v
