Hi Aaliyah,
I know I know. I am not a regular here. But in my defence. . . there are so many moments of my life when my mind is hovering in this space, thinking about what all I need to tell you. You are just so amazing, I wish all my thoughts would just get converted into a movie with my narration as the background.
Couple of days back when I was sitting at the foot of the bed and on Facebook just catching up with my friends even though there were a half billion odd jobs that I needed to do around the house. I had conveniently slipped in a movie DVD for you to watch to buy time. :) This is your all time fav (out of the other trillion favs) ‘Alvin and Chipmunks’. The movie was coming to an end and so was my cross country chattathon.
I was glancing around the room briefly to see what are the top 5 things I need to attend to and next 100 that your dad can do. There was a pile of ironed clothes which was one of my jobs. I was just about to log out that Suha aunty cracked me up again and she really has a talent to glue me to the FB. You must make her your Tamil language SPOC and the first lessons on ‘Adding Salt’, ‘tell me tell me’, ‘Veri’ and ‘Cha’ are a must to attend in person or atleast on FB.
Coming back to the clothes, suddenly the last song witch doctor started to play in the movie and you jumped up on the chair where the clothes were kept and started to dance. I saw that and my BP just rose like it was your Dad dancing on them. Just as I was about to use my ‘Stern, firm and Loud voice’ wildcard which you follow on the first call itself… you shot a look at me and threw some kisses to me like I was a crazy fan in a rock concert who was just about to pass out. That kiss was like, ‘here you go sweetheart, you will remember this for life’.
I was instantly unplugged :) It felt like someone just turned on the AC on my face and ran some cold water through my feet. I did not remember that you were to be disciplined anymore seeing you enjoy the moment and taking the time to blow me kisses. For the next few minutes I thoroughly enjoyed your performance with my right cheek resting on my right palm. Some creases define life
Aaliyah, I often wonder what you will be when you grow. . .and never wished anything except that you should enjoy it. But today seeing you like this made me feel like you will be a rockstar one day and I just want to say that I promise not to embarrass you, please get me the first seat and I will blow a million kisses to you until the guards hose me away. . .
