You are 17 going on 18

Written for my son
To be recited on the tune of "You are 16, going on 17" song from Sound of Music


You are 17, going on 18,

Waiting to be a man

You think and you write, your future is bright

And I am your greatest fan!


You are 17, going on 18

Future plans on your mind

Eager to drive a scooter and car and

Leaving your childhood behind


Sensitive, loving and kind are you

You are a handsome dude,

Intelligent yet humble are you,

And always hungry for food!


You are 17, going on 18,

God bless you with health and joy,

We'll always love you,always support you

World is your oyster my boy!

Alter-tailor

 The ‘alter-tailor’ is a concept I find uniquely Indian. Near my office, there is a long row of alter-tailor shops. They have no space to operate their sewing machines inside, so the tailor often sits outside with the machine. I am always amazed by how they operate in such a tiny space. I often wonder why there is such a great demand for alter-tailors. There are three main reasons: 1. The poor quality of ready-made clothes available here. 2. The lack of multiple or accurate sizes. 3. Fluctuations in body weight or changes in measurements, which lead to clothes becoming tight or too loose. Other reasons include altering hand-me-downs or repurposing clothes—like making a pair of shorts from old trousers. I think the first two reasons are the major contributors. I’ve often visited the tailor myself: to repair unravelling seams on a shirt, shorten a new pair of trousers, or get a kurta fitted to my size, since it was only available in XL. This makes me wonder: is it a problem that read...

Innocence

A 2 yr old girl was watching her grandfather wash his dentures. As soon as he put them in his mouth after washing, she cried out, extremely surprised by his action, "No, don't eat them!" . Then she added , explaining to him "We should eat food and not teeth". A small girl was watching a pregnant woman, and asked her mother why the woman's tummy was so big. Her mother replied "Because there's a baby in her tummy!" Shocked, the girl asked "What! Did she eat it!" We were planning a trip to Mahabaleshwar with my parents. The day before, my daughter asked my mother whether she could come to her house to sleep. My mother said , " You can come and sleep in my room when we go to Mahabaleshwar". My daughter immediately asked, very surprised , "Are you bringing your room along with you, to Mahabaleshwar?"

खाता पिता ढेकर देता हातखंब्याचा ब्रम्हराक्षस

 "खाता पिता ढेकर देता हातखंब्याचा ब्रम्हराक्षस" किंवा "अल्लल्लाङुर्र" अशी आपली ओळख मुलांना करून देणारा हा आमचा 'बालम' काका. पण हा कधीच राक्षस वाटला नाही. सतत झाडाफुलांच्यात, मातीत काम केल्यामुळे रापलेला चेहरा आणि लाल मातीचा रंग चढलेले कपडे, कधी वाढलेली दाढी, असा उंचापुरा हा माणूस एकदम आपल्याला उचलून आपल्या पाप्या घ्यायला लागला की मुलं जरा घाबरायची. पण ओठ काढून रडायला सुरुवात करायच्या आत हा बोलायला लागला की मात्र मुलं रडणं विसरून अचंबित होत असत. गमती जमती, किस्से, झाडा फुलांची विचित्र शास्त्रीय नावं, विनोद असं काय काय सांगत तो लहान मोठ्या सगळ्यांशीच झटकन दोस्ती करून टाके.  झाडा फुलांची नर्सरी ह्यातला हा तज्ज्ञ, सतत त्याच विचारानी आणि कामानी झपाटलेला, अगदी शेवटपर्यंत. न शिकता पेटी, बासरी वाजवायचा, गायचा, अनेक भाषांत संभाषण करू शकायचा.  काही शब्द त्याच्याकडून ऐकलेले - टचाटच, डिफडिफ्रंट व्हरव्हरायटी, रत्नागिरीचा नॅशनल ड्रेस - आता आम्हीच इतके वापरतो आणि प्रत्येक वेळी त्याची आठवण काढतो. त्याच्याबद्दलच्या प्रत्येकाच्या आठवणी अनेक आहेत, त्याचे आम्ही आई बाबांकडून ऐ...
