Two Decades Of Life And Counting (1/3)

Two decades back ,

Far off in the world somewhere,

Was born a baby girl,

Marked by all, to be a bright chirping bird.

Daddy's little one,

Mommy's life,

Grandpa's doll,

To Grandmother's first morning call!

Time traveled by, it was the dawning of year two,

From crawling to standing on the feet has taken place already,

Speaking those half a word languages in lieu,

Wearing those frocks tiny and wee.

Papa recording those,

half spoken rhymes and words,

As a memory to be cherished for ever as stows,

In,now, long forgotten cassette recorders.

Year three has settled in quick,

Time to enter a new world, the school,

First day was revolting, endless sobbing and troubling teachers,

Roaming around in the school and mewl.

Not talking to any classmate,

Not putting the school bag aside, 

whether in class or outside,

Water bottle was as if a precious gem!

Year four was in,

From playing with any toy whatsoever,

The things went specific.

Dolls were the new craze,

Kitchen set the next chase.

Running towards the buses as soon as the bell rang,

Going home was the best retreat after a short yet very long day.

Year 5 meant a year of new learning,

From A B C D, the focus has changed to math,

Learning math with stones and pebbles zing,

Coloring every object you see in books or notepads!

Joining the dots was the best game to play,

Molding and making small silly objects with the clay!

The countdown of 12 classes started at the age of 6,

Those short ABCDs have now turn to those 8 liners mix,

Those half days at school have now turned to full ones,

Following by mom taking notes of all that has been in day's run.

Being pro active in all school activities,

From fancy dress to balloon race fancies!
