Sometimes few journeys, few moments drag your attention that
your kid is growing fast, getting more observant.
Gone were the days, when I used to squat in the whole car
journey and lay my kid down. Now I plead him to at least sit/sleep for some
time in road trips. Road trips are now fun with him.
Every time he crosses any foot over bridge, “London bridge is falling
down, falling down…” pops out from his vocal cords.
Chocolates make him sing.. “kiss me … close ur eyes…”… I never thought
he can memorize the ads (apart from Chota Bheem, Mighty Raju episodes) so
nicely….
Chasing sun (and its varying shades) with our fast moving
car, placing it back to sky when we cross a tree or a tall building is our new
game. So is catching up the colors and forms of the freely dancing flora on the
sideways.
Petrol station meters (he calls it Katrol) have fast running
meters (numbers for kids) to engage them. So are the chips (and free air inside
them) and cookies kiosks just next to petrol stations.
We more than memorize his poem CD songs as we barely get
chance to listen to FM or any other songs. Courtesy, his ability to operate
with the car music system. (And it always reminds us of buying a new CD for him).
And now the scene is, even when he is fast asleep, we still keep on listening
to his poems forgetting and loosing the golden moment to change the mode to
FM….
And on the way there are soooo.. many varying shapes,
colors, objects for us to show him or vice versa. Be it a tree or group of
fresh farms altogether, swollen grey clouds or crimson red setting sun, a
cyclewala rushing perpendicular on a highway to go to the other end or a heavy
truck overloaded with stuff and packed to neck…
There is much more felt and enjoyed on the way which cannot
be explained and enlisted in a small scribble. Yearning to have another one
with my lil one. J
