This Friday evening , while I was curled up in your lap, my little Puttu, I felt so warm... and suddenly, this little feeling crept in—someday I’m going to miss this so badly (even though it’s far away!).

Are you not dressing him up? Are you not feeding him? Are you not singing lullabies to put him to sleep? Are you not pushing yourself beyond everything just to see him in peace? That’s all it is."

It was Krishna Janmashtami and I had a holiday ,Sushan told me to stay asleep for which I disagreed.That day I packed Jowar Roti and Capsicum Sabzi for his lunch.
