First Stage Performance

She made all our speculations wrong. We parents assumed that their daughter is dancing for the tunes of 'Senorita' as she remembered all the steps flawlessly.

After few days we had a doubt as she said its a Japanese dance that she's been dancing for. With confusion and excitement we waited for the final day.

Dressed in a pink and peach Japanese robe(as it looked so), straws pinned up on the hair and a hand fan; she finally turned up on the stage. She looked very tiny amidst other peers and she became almost invisible while turning and concentrating on her steps and song.

She perfectly tuned her body to the harp music that played in the background. By the time her teacher realised that she was not visible and pushed her front the music stopped and everyone applauded:)

She finds immense comfort in holding my arms while sleeping.

Though, she takes a lot of topsy- turvy turns before she rediscovers her particular point of consolation each time.

Finally, when she does find solace either on my cheeks or elbows and presses her warm palms against them to go into her dreamy world, I too sleep like a baby.

Growing up to be Intelligent

She is the one who reminds her father to switch off the lights before leaving the room.

She perfectly placed an apple infront of the fire to heat it. The reason: her mother had explained her not to eat it soon after taking it out from the refrigerator and to wait till it's almost back to room temperature.

She scolded me for throwing away her cut nails as she thought that the nails would get hurt and start crying if done so.
