Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

Often, I have a casual conversation with A and get surprised by some of his responses which I find very profound. I don't know whether he understands the meaning of it or it's the way children brain work - stick to rudimentary thinking, we adults complicate everything unnecessarily. I have recorded so many of our conversations in my other related posts, but this one deserves a post on its own. Little things matter  be it a gesture of care or love, last night I was down (blame the hormones!!) and was lying next to Aaryan who was busy watching TV. I turned around and asked him whether he would love me forever, he asked me “ What do you want me to say amma! ”. He was genuine when he asked me what I wanted to hear so I would feel better.

Two of my work got selected in a poetry competition run by Greater Dandenong Council, Victoria. Both  Here and There  and Nostalgia got   published in a poetry book titled "HOME".   "Home" is a collection of work by talented individuals from different background.

This is part of my series for 10 days of gratitude.   In no particular order, 4th in my list is Memories . PC:Google images My granny used to tell me about the day I was born, she would've told me that many a times, I'd never got tired of it, It got better and better every time I heard it.

Its been years since I met my best friends from collage, but it never feels like I miss them, every time we speak it feels so fresh, we get older but in our memories, we are still in our twenties. I'm thankful for all the memories I cherish from every frame of my life. People come and go, however the imprint they leave in our lives stay forever.  Check out my other posts on  10 days of gratitude , Day 5: The little things Day 3:The Imperfections Day 2:Patience Day 1: My Anxiety
