Got a few minutes of free time and have so much to write about Arya!
So these days kiddo is getting smarter by the day. He has learnt a lot many many things. Sometimes I feel I should record each moment but the kid never poses or repeats something in front of the camera – ofcourse he wants the camera in his own hands!
Thanks to his babysitter Mangal, he has learnt counting in Marathi! So he goes ek, don, teen, char for each and every thing…give him few toys, few stickers on the cardboard, few steps to walk he constantly chats don, teen char, teen don, teen don and so on, not necessarily in the right order.
He has picked up the phone attitude from adults like making faces, laughing, waving hands aimlessly, even the fake coughing, and saying accha bye, ok bye, thik aahe bye like me!
He sits and does pretend reading of books. The other day he lied down with is head on my pillow while I was cooking. He started reading the novel I’m reading now and in my style. Lying down sideways and holding the book horizontally and disregarding everyone who wanted to talk to him! Fast learner he is.
Arya is a very God and elder respecting person you might think. Yea, he suddenly remembers that he wants to touch your feet and starts a paya-padne or feet touching for ashirwaad spree. He makes me and Yogesh get our feet on the floor if we are sitting with our legs folded, after that he makes sure he touches each foot! He never passes a single zhendu/marigold flower garland without doing namaskar saying jai bappa. All god statues and idols in real life or TV need to be revered by doing namaskar. Even my asafoetida bottle that has a Laxmi goddess photo gets its due namaskar!
Ok, leaving for the day. More about Arya as soon as I get time!

I also remember how he bothered you when you were making chapatis... he was just crying n throwing his hands in the air. Mom n me were confused n thought that he might want to sit on ur lap. But you knew better, it was only after you handed him the ‘latna’ n a small ball of dough did we come to know what his intentions. And to our amazement, he followed the ditto procedure for making a chapatti!!! Without missing a single step!
