The kid across the street was having a jolly time when I was crossing the road. He was playing in the pile of construction-sand that was in front of his house. Just then I heard his mom shriek from inside, calling him inside. I was already walking up my stairs when she came running out and hoisted the 3/4 old kid onto her hip. (holding just a single slender hand, almost ripping it off!) I turned almost uninterestedly when I heard the ‘SMACK’. Horrified I turned to look and saw the kid get a flurry of slaps on both his cheeks, while the mom bounced up the stairs into her home, always pushing the kid from behind! I was bewildered watching this sudden outburst!
Yes, I don’t know what the kid might have done before, how it behaves usually and I can’t go telling people not to hit their children!! But a 3 year old kid? Did the kid deserve all those smacks right on the face?! I don’t think so! What I was thinking was, yeah all or most of us have at various stages would have ‘got it’ from our parents, for whatever reasons and now on retrospect it might have been deserved too! If the kid is old enough to know what he is doing, and knowing what he is doing is wrong, still keeps continuing doing the same thing a strong rebuke or a smack would help put things right. But the other day when I saw what I saw, I felt pity! I definitely thought the small kid dint deserve such a whacking for just idling in mud for a few minutes. I wanted to run across the street, pull the kid off from the mother, give her a few slaps, console the kid and return back! But I decided I’ll blog it! :(

It’s a state of mind
A revelation of sorts today! Music was always a passion, but my foyer never extended much into the English domain. Ms. V kept persisting it should. Gave her reasons why I dint venture, but the Scorpion she is, sent me few songs over. Love songs at that!
All of it made sense to me; brought me to an awesome state of mind, from the weary one I entered office with! So when music transports one into a totally different realm, it’s the state of mind that changes! And today’s feeling was bliss! Maybe blame it on the lyrics – ‘When love and Hate collide’ Def Leopard, ‘When you love someone’ Bryan (the God) Adams, ‘Say something stupid like I love you’ Robbie Williams with Nicole!!!
Smitten!
Gracias’ Senora’!

Here a blog, there a blog
I need to blog.(Biting nails) I need to blog.(Biting skin off finger tips) I need to blog.(Just got up from a deep sleep after having dreamt that Rehman is a guest at my place and get to spend a day with him!) I need to blog.
So here I blog whatever happened the past week or so... whatever needed to be remembered! It was Chennai trip again, and one worth remembering too! The trip to Tirupathi on 3rd June with the whole family was a grand gala affair! Whether it was someone bellowing their worries straightaway to the Almighty’s ‘silai’ or someone who started choking, having difficulties breathing because they had started laughing so much, all of it was fun! There were the usual harsh moments too, those that occur when more than 10-14 adults go on a trip, but the fun time all of us had surpassed it all making the trip a memorable one.
4th June was mom’s birthday. And this was also the day when I got a precious gift from my sister – a digital camera!!! Wooh! There were lotsa cakes to eat and a lot more snaps taken. Breakfast at the new Saravana Bhavan joint in Ashok Nagar was just great! It was made another day to remember by my bro – both of us skidded off with the bike on West Mambalam road, thanx to his excellent biking skills! Still have abrasions on my leg L $#@%^R^%#
5th June was pack up day. Darn....! Had to come to office for night shift. And it was farewell time to Giri too, ‘cos am yet undecided whether I will go back to Chennai soon enough to see him off to Ahmedabad. Another breakfast session at new Saravan Bhavan with Giri, Swetha, Divya and Aarthi went majorly uneventful.
Though most would find this entry drab, I guess I can excuse myself. Tired of traveling for a whole month – schedule would look like this!!!
Blr-Hyd-Blr-Chn-Blr-Mys-Blr-Chn-Blr-Chn-Tirupathi-Chn –Blr
Poor me!
So need to gather myself to come up with something new. And will do! Adios till then!
