Blessings we count

I am not able to talk much. But I am able to draw somehow - never did before. Maybe I am turning into you? 

I know what you will say to the words above. Not much - but I can see that in your expression- too much? Ok so here is your refined version -

It is not a love story

Stories have a beginning, a middle, and an End

Love does not. 

Happy now? 

Good to know I am still my old unrefined self. I have lost you. I can’t lose myself too. 

Diya’s inside/insight joke!

I asked Diya to give me a hand to assemble this chair. Her question- how many PhDs does it take to assemble a chair?

Her answer: Two - to make the person who will actually assemble the chair 🙄

What brings you joy?

Ignore the dirty dishes, we decided to watch them play instead !

Life is good!

Sunday morning cooking, family time, music (listening to "Re Mann - Shreya). Life is good!!

From then to now …

Pieces of Us

I woke up from a lovely afternoon nap to squiggly forms wiggling next to me. Kaju was chewing a paw and I mildly registered a concern to get him some anti-itch stuff and keep the humidifier on - it's so dry these days. Then my sleepy eyes traced the outline of Kishmish chewing on an ear that had turned black and brown - what??! I was awake now. Oh - she was chewing Kaju's ear and, I realized, he wasn't chewing his own paw either - he was tending to hers! Kishmish then deployed her tiny teeth to comb kaju's forehead while he pulled her whiskers - a little too hard and backed off immediately when she protested. Then they proceeded to inspect each others teeth, shoved more tangled limbs into each other and I stopped sorting through the brown, white and black blob next to me. 

It occurred to me that Kaju and Kishmish likely cannot distinguish their own parts and pieces from each other. They play together, eat together, sleep together and constantly seek each other out. You can't separate them - and it seems they can't separate themselves either. They are perfectly happy being a blob. Maybe they got it right. Maybe we can too?! 

Aadi’s Drip

 

Verse 1: 

I had drip since I was a youngin’, 

Head held high, always up to somethin’. 

Numbers and stars, they callin’ my name, 

Science and math, yeah, I’m ahead of the game. 

Kind heart, sharp mind, got the perfect blend, 

Every step I take, I inspire my friends. 

Rockin’ fresh fits, always lookin’ clean, 

Skincare glowin’, I’m livin’ the dream. 

Pre-Chorus: 

Gaze at the sky, constellations align, 

A universe of knowledge in this heart of mine. 

With laughter and care, I’m changin’ the scene, 

Empathy the crown, I’m the future’s king. 

Chorus: 

I’m Aadi, yeah, I’m destined to rise, 

Reaching for the stars in these endless skies. 

Funny, intelligent, got the world in my hands, 

With my crew by my side, we’re takin’ a stand. 

From the classroom to the cosmos, I shine so bright, 

A star in the making, I’m the guiding light. 

Verse 2: 

Equations flow like music in my head, 

Chasing my dreams, nothin’ left unsaid. 

Astronomy’s callin’, galaxies afar, 

One day I’ll reach that distant star. 

Style on point, confidence to spare, 

Looking good, feeling good, yeah, I’m self-aware. 

Friends roll deep, they’ve got my back, 

In this journey of life, we’re on the same track. 

Pre-Chorus: 

Gaze at the sky, constellations align, 

A universe of knowledge in this heart of mine. 

With laughter and care, I’m changin’ the scene, 

Empathy the crown, I’m the future’s king. 

Chorus: 

I’m Aadi, yeah, I’m destined to rise, 

Reaching for the stars in these endless skies. 

Funny, intelligent, got the world in my hands, 

With my crew by my side, we’re takin’ a stand. 

From the classroom to the cosmos, I shine so bright, 

A star in the making, I’m the guiding light. 

Bridge:

Dreamin’ big, but my feet stay grounded,

Curiosity fuels the world I’ve founded.

Kindness in my heart, wisdom in my soul,

With every step forward, I’m reaching my goal.

Rockin’ the world with my wit and my charm,

Making people smile, keepin’ ‘em calm.

Chorus (Repeat):

I’m Aadi, yeah, I’m destined to rise,

Reaching for the stars in these endless skies.

Funny, intelligent, got the world in my hands,

With my crew by my side, we’re takin’ a stand.

From the classroom to the cosmos, I shine so bright,

A star in the making, I’m the guiding light.

Outro:

I had drip since I was a youngin’,

Bright future ahead, you know I’m stuntin’.
