It seems just like yesterday when the nurse placed a crying bundle of joy in my trembling arms. It is 6 months today and the same bundle of joy is 8.5kgs and barely fit in my arms.
You have come along way in these 6 months. You turn over completely, though only from the right side. On the mat in the hall, you turn over on your stomach, but cant roll over and hence start crying. But, when are on the bed, you start rolling and reach the edges in no time. You try crawling, especially when you want to grab our mobile phones. You have a fascination for mobile phones. The light coming from it and the various sounds during video calls fascinate you. Thankfully, your mother is very strict about not showing you the screen.
Another thing that attracts you is the television screen and we have to switch it off if you are around, since you smartly turn your head towards it when everyone is busy talking. You love songs, especially my 'Surmayi aankhiyon mein'. You are attentive when your mother tries to calm you down in the night with gayatri mantras and other shlokas, and quite playful when she sings you 'maakdche dukan' or 'Sheptiwalya pranyanchi sabha'. Aaba's chiu-kau story has become an evening norm, and you go to sleep as soon as he starts singing, especially 'eka talyat hoti'. You also wave your hand a lot like aajoba, after he had just once showed you 'tha ga tha'.
You love music, you love all the sounds i make, you are attracted to colours and shapes and designs on bedsheets. One bad habit you have is grabbing fingers and putting them in your mouth and if nobody is around, it is your own hand.
You normally sleep by around 10.30-11 and wake up at 7-7.30. Fortunately, you do not disturb your mother much at night, but sometimes you like to suckle on her just as comfort feed.
Your 6-month birthday was attended by aaba, dah-aaji, kakoja and torrential rains. It is raining cats and dogs for last 2-3 days. We have a leakage issue near the balcony. You are pissing by the litres and clothes are not drying up. Sanah Tai is not well and we all are worried. Madhavi aatya gave her resignation today and Aaba and Mahaaji are worried.
Lot of things changed in the last 6 months. India did an air strike on Pakistan. Mosque attacks in New Zealand and terrorist attack on Srilankan churchs were in the news. Modi won the Loksabha elections again. Mumbai Indians won the IPL. Manchester city won the EPL, Chelsea won europa league and Liverpool won the champions league.
Onion-tomatoes are at 20-20 per kg, tomatoes at 40/kg, maggi at 14/pack, colddrink at 40/600ml, eggs are 60/dozen, chicken biryani at bbc costs 240/big packet. Gold is 34655. Sensex is 39686 and nifty is 11865.
All these things will change, the world will be a different place. But what wont change ever will be the way you laugh, the way you smile and the way you respond to 'Ruhaan maaza' or 'Daddachi Gompuli'.
