Basic Pancakes

123

My niece has taken after me. She looks exactly like me when I was her age – real curly hair, chubby cheeks , rosy lips. She has even inherited my unreserved love for water I had at that age. She doesn’t mind taking bath 100 times a day and loves ‘pimming’ (swimming) pool the best.

We call her a ‘cyclone’ cos all we can see after she has been to a place (say dining table or telephone table) is scattered stuff all around. She goes to the dining table first, does a good job there and then proceeds to the next place.

What I found most funny was her throwing something down and then looking at me and saying “Aiyyo!”. She makes the perfect “Oh oh” sound at the accurate places, mostly after she drops something she is not meant to.

Bhagus has a problem with sharing her stuff if she is not in a good mood. She went to the extend of holding and carrying an air filled baby chair (light weight stuff) over her head for almost an hour when another kid visited them :-))

My parents love all of her antiques and their eyes brighten up when they talk about Bhagus. I couldn’t spent much time with her this time, yet I can’t help smile when I think of her!

So now that my son is there at her place (he is with my brother in Bangalore), I wonder what and all she is holding up her head!!

  13. The pancakes look mouthwatering.
    Just this evening I was wondering how you take the daily happenings in your life and turn them into these anecdotes to amuse us. :) And here you are again with Bhagus. I don’t think I will ever forget the chair incident. :)
