He is here. three months now though his acts look even older and naughtier! he wants to swim in our bed n is working hard towards it. i never thought old wives' tales about bringing up children could be so true. its a tight-rope walk. very dangerous if u r not careful. every minute u r taught new things, u are open to new ideas (which have been there for ages) and u follow a rare intuitive call of ur mind which is amusingly always right with ur kid.
i wonder about the biggest magic called child-birth. how do a child know to suck milk minutes after its birth? who teaches them all these yogasanas which we think are their ways to cry and make noise. many of their acts are so matching of the asanas we do in yoga. if it can help a child to walk, no wonder it helps adults who already know to use their legs and hands...
right now, i am sad to resume my office from monday. i will have to leave him home for hours. but someone said its good on a long term basis that ur child has a working mother, who can give him a new broad world better than `housey' mothers. dont know if its true. but after experiencing a god-like magic for some months, its hardly easy to be back to normal...its more easy to be a full-time amma.
Lesson one i learnt is that `nothing is as simple as it looks' when it concerns ur child. Lesson two-u r bonded with ur child in ways u can never imagine until u become a mother. lesson three-u hav entered a fire -pit, better learn the tricks easier and emerge successful. coz for the first time in life, u r writing the exams and ur child is set to win or lose.
