Rigved

Today we are all at home! I m home because I work from home, Banda is home because she is unwell(and so am I) and Rigved is home because it would be ridiculous to send him out of the house when we are at home! Rigved is visibly more happier in situations like this. I ve realized that when a child is born out of love and not necessarily an arrangement, then the child is more sensitive and caring. Whenever me or Banda are unwell, Rigved transforms into the in-house doctor and appears with his doctor kit to check us up. He did the same today as well. He generally suggests natural cure and avoids any kind of tablets. The most common thing in all his suggestion is ´honey´!

A couple of days ago, I noticed his toy thermometer in one of the buckets in the bathroom. I removed it from there and kept it in Rigved´s doctor kit. Today again it was there and he was removing it from there. I asked him how does it get there. He replied, “I keep it there so that it comes to normal temperature. Saying that he touched it to my neck as I have got a sore throat and took a reading of it!

Rigved and Banda are sitting here in the same room. Rigved is studying, Banda is reading and I m tweaking this BLOG for 2007!
