Bundle of Joy

Bundle of Joy

Few of us who has been with me on this iland will know that I moved to Bengaluru just recent.Family is back in Delhi still.I rejoin them in Delhi over the weekend and bring them with me.
Its been 15 months since our son came to our lives. And every moment spent with him has been priceless.It has been a great stress reliever to see him after a busy day at work. His silly sounds andeffort to communicate with frowns when I am late and smiles when I am rarely and surprisingly early has been heart touching.
Its also have been rather regretful to see him wait up to midnight to see his "Acha". He would wait for me and then mumble his own language and then cuddle to sleep.
In between my job change I spent a week at home and he was overjoyed to see me day in and day out. Must be praying then that wish every day was like this only.ha ha.
And hence the last 10 days also must have been tough for the little chappie, thinking wherein the hell did I dissappear too.I am told by his loving mother that he wait near the door around 7.30 knowing that I should be coming home...and apparently scolds whoever else coming home at that point of time.
Seeing your kid grow up is the ultimate joy of life as he learns new things by the day and shows off to us.
I have been on the phone to Delhi and little fellow eagerly listens to me on the phone and after I am over, he shouts..."Acha...acha...acha"...(Acha = Father in malayalam)...
My heart really seeks out to all those families that live separately due to mostly unavoidable reasons and at times avoidable.
If 10 days have been this bad..wonder what it would be for those who live separately for months together especially with lil ones...
Economy drives us to such measures in life...while we gain in rupee terms...what we loose out is surely priceless moments in life that will never return...
Chao to Delhi
