Remember the time when we use to laugh gregariously, when we used to cry loudly enough that even our neighbours could hear, and we would dance at any song, when we would run when we could walk? It's been so long that I don't remember it clearly. But seeing my niece I can surely recollect it. There is so much to learn from a child. She will give you that priceless smile of her every time you call her or look at her. Every time when you come back home she would get so excited to see you and one look at her all your tiredness goes off. She is just 14 months old and needless to say she doesn't know how to talk. When you don't know words you express more through the expressions and emotions. As we grow the words emotions replaces the expression, smile replaces a gregarious laugh, walking replaces running, foot tap replaces dance.
But we have named her Sativiki which is pure and I hope she lives up to her name and remain unadulterated. I wish she always welcomes me the way she does now. I wish she doesn't lose her enthusiasm as she grows. I wish (much to her mother's wishes as well ;)) that she would dance whenever she wishes to.
Irrespective whether my wish is fulfilled or not she would always be my little darling who claps every time when I sing her “when you happy and you know clap your hand” :) .
"There is so much to learn from a child. She will give you that priceless smile of her every time you call her or look at her." - Can't agree more. A child's charm lies in a certain vulnerability and innocence that decrease progressively with age...
ReplyDeleteYes its the innocence of a child which attracts me.
