My Darling Kuhash,

Today you made me so happy. Baba and I were flush with appreciation and inspiration for the movie Dangal. ( I hope someday we get to watch it with you). And as is my wont, I started wondering which sport is that you would/could possibly take a liking for. So off I went bombarding you "What do you want to play Kuhash - Cricket, orr badminton , Football maybe , or Tennis" and you just gave me your trademarked puzzled expressions and retorted "Books".

I didnt know whether to scream out of Joy or feel a tad bit disappointed. Oh well ! Never mind. Books sure are the family`s favourite kinda weight to carry around :)

then again in the evening while you impatiently tore apart an Amazon parcel of "Matilda`s Cat" and puppy-eyed me into reading it aloud to you. I did as was ordered and was folding the book shut when you blurted "amar aar kichu lagbena , only Mama lagbe ... and books"

Moments like these are what makes me smother a confuse you with Kisses and Mama Bear hugs.

All my love,
Mama
