Ache

... This morning the eyes were brimming, unreasonably. Everyday rituals should categorically be subconscious, or become so over time. Like a breath, or sudden holding of it. It is so very wasteful to be downhearted over unavoidable prerequisites to life. But strangely, it aches every time. So much so you feel like crouching up silent and alone at some grey amorphous corner of life and shut yourself out from every blasted saneness. How do I leave my little baby helplessly whimpering on that thick black mattress, with dumb toys, ten other babies and plastic-faced carers? Leave her alone to deal with this strangely frigid and synthetic world; Leave our selves, hers and mine, alone every day... Tomorrow morning these eyes will again be brimming. Silently. Softly. Secretly. And Unreasonably. Let me say this once to you, in our sacred seclusion: I am sorry Heeya ~ ~ ~

Encore!

Maa Pupu, here's trying my best to enact on paper the adorable little fight you put up with me the other day.

For you to relive maybe, on days when I am not around.
:o)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Shukkurbaar shokaal shaare notaa.

end of battle one part one.


the battle continues.

Maa ebaar Pupur haat and tthyang chepe dhorechhe koshe..
Pupu completely under control, or so it seems...
Pupu expressing discomposure and discontent in form of snuffled growls from under Maa....
she desires freedom in all degrees.....
for once, she pushes Maa away with all her might......
jorajori-goragori.......
and before long, both are rolling on the floor........

end of battle one part two. phewwwwwwwww!!!

both smiling and reasonably contented.
laptop slightly impacted and upside down, but as we can see, it still works.


big and tiny bow.
Pupu and Maa look at each other like seasoned performers.
big and tiny bow again.


curtains down.
