Phone Conversation

The protocol between me and Swati was not to talk to Soumik on phone so that he does not get reminded of me not being with them now. But curiosity got better of him as he took the phone away from Swati while we were talking. It was a fun conversation that I had with him, about what he is doing and such, to which he replied that he is getting ready to go to Bhaiya's (his cousin's) house in the auto-rickshaw. I told him I am coming to see him soon, with lots of toys. Apparently Swati told him earlier that he is being very naughty, and will grow up to be a monkey. So he wanted to know whether I am a big monkey also :-)

After the initial stages of mostly fighting these two kids (Soumik and Aritra) are more friendly these days. Which is relief for everybody!

Do you read Dennis the Menace? In our house you won't need to! Soumik is the menace around here. It used to be "in a good way" but ever since his 3rd birthday it was mostly embarrassing way. The less said the bettter.

He and Swati are visiting hometown now. My sister will get married on July 11th, so they decided to go early and join the foray. We were very concerned of him not speaking Bengali well. And we continue to be worried.

But it is fun in some way. He has grown very fond of my sistern ("Moni" to him). When Swati makes maggi he wants to share it with Moni, "Some for me, some for Moni". They were traveling to some place in a car, when the car brokedown and everybody got out of the car. He quipped, "Guys, what happened guys!?". It was hilarious because nobody there talks like that :-)

Since they are away, I got some free time, and thought of renewing my blogging skills.
