Yesterday, i went to see a family friend of mine. recently, they had welcomed a bundle of joy, in their family. Yes you guessed it right. a small baby, the most miraculous creation on this planet.
Before our meeting with this beautiful creation, we decided to give a small gift t him, a token of our love and affection to this little thing. so the hunt began, me and my mom decided tht we will search for an appropriate gift this evening. Once we had shopped for a good dress(My favourite pink coloured baba suit), the next thing we were looking for was a rattle. Since, the baby was only two months old, we did not expect it to be very responsive.when my mother was browsing through certain shelves in the mall, i happen to get lost in one part of the shop, (that i always manage to, dnt knw why), where they displayed all sort of stuffed toys………..gosh, one thing i always crave for….since the toys were displayed in big shelves and some were lying on the floor too…..i don’t know what took me over. there i was sitting on the floor, with jeans stretched in an unusual manner and i was cuddling all those teddy bear and dolls that were coming my way…….for a time i even forgot, what am i a grown up girl doing on the floor with these pretty things around me. Mom had to literally drag me out of that place.mom still things that, craving for a teddy hug displays an insecuer attitude within u!!!! don’t know the logic behid this. but yes, i go gaga over such toys……wish i had a BF who was more than willing to gift me stuffed toys for evry small reason….hhhhahahahahhahahaa
so, in continuation to our desperate hunt, we ended up purchasing a sweet doll. I know mom kept it locked in the almirah, because she was still not sure of my intentions.
Anyhow, we went to see teh baby next day. i was not expecting much from the trip. since, i was under the notion that babies at such a small age are quite bore. well, i went because i wanted to avoid a bore company alone at home, beacause i had already called all my friends and there was nothing much to do also.
as soon as we entered our friend’s house we were escorted to an inner room. and there he was, lying on the bed, pushing and throwing his hands in the most unusual mannner.mom, took him in his arms…….he was not beautiful, but the smile he displayed from ear to ear caught me offguard. automatically my hands stretched, and in a minute i was having that pretty thing in my arms. there he was fully activated, charged battery, who was passing all sorts of vibrations through my entire body. Perhaps, it was its innocence, charm, or its infectious enthusiasm in the eyes, (that i hardly expected from 2 months old infant) that made me experience a surge of happiness that i , for few months , was trying to create artificially. There i was standing in the middle of the room, charmed by this little charmer, who took my heart, in a sec………he was smiling in my eyes, and sometimes sucking the end of my dupatta, giving me some beautiful moments that i am penning down here.
well, can also say, in the end i was happy to part with that doll……because it was ultimately going to the one, who caught me unprepared!!!!!!
