Our trip to bangalore the last couple of days has given me the opportunity to be with two sets of twins around. A pair of them at 4Y and our boys at 10M. Yes it was exciting to be in the presence of two four year olds - the never ending questions that you cannot answer lightly, the fight for attention, the unconditional cuddling, the demand for perfection. I was amazed at how different their choices were and how nature shapes up our choices so young. Macho varun with his passion for machines and pinky varsha with her girlish picks.
I still cannot forget their argument that we should not leave - a dead lock - no matter what we said it would come back to the beginning. Two sweet incidents that i thought would be a nice memory to pen down.
Varun - vidhya chithi innikki avyukth akshath a oorukku kooti poporiyaa? Aamaam kanna. Velila rain clouds vardhu. Nee pogaadha. I was amazed at how he was trying to get me logically. .... and yes i lost. I just hugged him.
Varsha - she came running to me with her set of story books and we reached the very beautifully pictured ugly duckling story book. Once upon a time there was a duck. She laid seven eggs. When they hatched, six of them were beautiful and one was ugly. Thats when she stops me and looks at me - one of those perfect whatsapp frownies. "Aana vidhaa chithi adhu uglyaave illaye ayga dhaane irukku? " my eyes instantly welled up.
So pure. So unconditional. So straight from the heart. So truly kind. So infinitely innocent.
Hope the innocence never leaves them.
Cheers,
Hopie
