Dialogue

Yesterday we were having our dinner. And there was a dialogue between daddy and son. mm was about to finish his food.

MM: SOMEBODY is going to finish his plate
mm: Daddy, I was not eating my plate...
MM: ????
Me: ( Evil me felt very happy.  At last, my son has come to give bulbs/buns to MM  hi hi)

This happened last week.

mm: Look at this thambi.
nm: No reaction (Can't expect any from a six month old)
I was reading a magazine. I felt sorry, so I continued the dialogue for nm.
Me: What is it Kanna?
mm: Thambi
Me: Enna da?
mm: Thambi
Me: Enna Kannamma?
mm: I was not calling u amma,  I am talking with thambi.
Me: BulbBulbBulbBulb..

It is really sweet/cute/interesting/exciting/../../.. to hear my mowgli talk. I think, for a few months/years from now, my blog will be filled with such sweet dialogues.

Atlast, am squeezing some time..

I wanted to write about lot of things, but keep on forgetting them. Let me write them one by one. First, I wanted to write a post about the songs I love/hear.
My song choice is seasonal and it changes weekly or every 10 days. When I start liking a song, I will hear it again and again and again...

And this week's hit is "Dil to bachcha hai ji" from "Ishqiya". It is a really really lovely song, sung by Nusrat fateh ali khan, lyrics by Gulzar and Music by Vishal bharatwaj. From my little knowledge of hindhi language, I can say the lyrics is so nice. The singer's voice is so sweet and it blends pretty well with the music and the lyrics. I fell in love with the song and wanted to look at the artists and was googling while hearing the same song again and again all day. On listening, anyone will fall in love with this song.

During Christmas, I was crazy about the song, "Sleigh bell rings, Are you listening" from the animated movie "The polar express" (i could not find the exact song anywhere uploaded in net) . mm was crazy about this movie and I was about this song.  It is a very nice song. If someone wants to hear the song, I am ready to mail.(Will upload and will update the link when time permits)

One day I was listening to songs, sung by Vijay. Suddenly, I heard the song "Vennilavey, velli velli nilavey" from "Vetaiyadu villaiyadu".  I was surprised.  The voice was so flawless, I used to think that it was only from hariharan.  I heard this song so many times and finally concluded that 'Vijay' should have done the chorus. It is such a nice song, I could not stop myself falling in love.
Once I heard the song "Andha nilava than" from "Mudhal mariyathai" n times(Poor MM went crazy).
Likewise my list continues..

I read this news just now. The video was really disturbing. I feel so sorry for Nodar Kumaritashvili, who is so young, talented and full of life, gone in a fraction of second. May his soul rest in peace.

My Mowgli has grown a lot while Nemo is growing

After a very long time(approximately after one year), I took mm to library today. I think he forgot all about his visits to library in this long gap. Before getting inside the library I told him to be silent all the time, inside the library. He was amazed and excited seeing all the books neatly arranged in the shelves. First we went to kids dvd section. I let him select some dvds for him to watch. He selected lots of Thomas dvds and a few fairy tale dvds. I suggested him a few, but he refused.(3 yrs ku ethu too much da) Then he started to go thru some books. I was really happy thinking that he loves to read book and took my eyes off from him. I was browsing thru some book, suddenly came the question, (There was a tank in which, they had kept an African frog)

mm: Amma, look,what is that?
Me: It is a frog, Kanna.
mm: What is it doing?
Me: Its sleeping.
mm: Why is it sleeping in top of the water?(Actually it was floating in the water)
Me: It likes to sleep there kanna.
mm: Why not in the bottom amma?
Me: ? (Seriously I dont know)
mm: What is that?
Me: It is called the oxygenator. It gives oxygen to the frog
mm: We need stop that.
Me: Why kanna?
mm: It is hurting the frog. (the bubble was hitting the frog)
Me: It wont hurt him kanna, it is just a bubble.
mm: No amma, it is hurting him, see.

I was forced to drag him to other shelf, saying there are books about train. Though he came with me, his mind was revolving around the frog tank. He selected some music cds and books and started saying "lets buy this amma" and I started explaining how a library works. Time just flew. We checked out the items we took and started home. While coming out he even said bye to Mr. African frog quietly. (he sure remember things). I used to long for him to talk. Now, I dont have answers for many of his questions. But sure I am enjoying his enthusiasm to know.

Poor Nemo was at home with his dad. Though we have lot of baby food at home and lots of diaper, he was hungry waiting for his mom, with soiled diaper. Oops. No one can replace a mom. Nothing much to say about nm, right now. It will take some more time for him to perform his "LEELAIs".
