unconvincable Arjun

 My little chatterbox is everywhere in the home talking about difference between ripe, unripe and bad bananas, sharing his opinion on whose side of argument is correct and also crying when Dad hugs the big brother instead of him. He does so much to entertain us, make our life meaningful and beautiful. But never have I took a chance to write about it.

Dec 2019/Jan 2020
Today, his teacher walked over excitedly on seeing me to share an anecdote about Arjun.

During one of the conversation, they had ended up asking/telling I teached you alphabets and spelling.

Arjun had told, "No, I learned it myself"

I argued with this so much in his own terminology to inculcate him the value of gratitude/respect, etc.

Refusing to give up, Arjun finally resorted to say, "I say so because my teacher finds it funny and laughs"

- thats invincible Arjun for you..

 

 In the lunch table, during the discussion about Astronuts and rocket ships.

Question: Why would someone(astronaut)  get out of spaceships

Arjun(very very casually): To hoist their flags.

--- politics debunked


Cycling across the road not seeing the regular cyclist on his proper path in the road. 

The cyclist stops, apologies although it is not her mistake. She sympathetically asks,   "Are you okay?"

The big man  replies, "Not really" with the scorn in his face

----Politeness overruled

Elegy



Empathy, I thought was one of the strongest and amazing trait of Humans.  A loss proved me wrong. 
It is easy to empathize and emulate the emotions of  joyful moments, happy happenings and great achievements. The entanglement and the play of empathy and ego when you miss someone gone far ever is unique.

Loss - Irreparable loss can never be empathised. It can be just supported. It is truly unique to the one experiencing it. Even the daughter who lost her father can never empathise the emotion of her own mother who lost her dear husband. The depth of love, intensity of the connection and hence the amount of loss is so unique and cannot be measured or emulated or felt by others.


Setting the high values
Spreading the good vibes 
Holding on to that calmness
                even during calamity   
Living and creating that good epitome
                 to abide and live by
I see you in many forms
                living within each of us
We miss you everyday
               More and more on special days..
Continue to shower us with blessings and bliss


By Living and lingering in the prayers, in the joy and the sorrows, the great souls never leave the earth. They continue to live and bless in all forms and beings.
