Ehhh! The Itchi - chi Brand

"Itchi-chi Amma" he screams when he is upset. I guess I taught him the word that was meant to only refer to things which were dirty. Don't know when he exactly started terming anything bad as Itchi-chi. Today any disapproving remark he hears from anybody in his world he prefixes the 'I' word to it......

Gets his mid day drink 2 seconds later -  "Itchi-chi Ammamma"
Doesn't get his zillionth car into his collection - "Itchi-chi Appuppa"
Channel changed from POGO/Disney  to sports/news -"Itchi-chi Acha"
Haven't been transported from bed to sofa in the morning - "Itchi-chi Amma"
Give a smile when he trips - "Itchi-chi XXXX"


Anything under the sun which qualifies 0.00000001% disturbing will be termed "Itchi-chi"

The number of  "Itchi-chis" he uses per day would be more than 10 times the ones in this page.
May be its a passing phase. May be.  So maybe when the word jus vanishes from his vocab we wouldn't even know.....Initially it was embarssing but now the word has become silent !!!...Barely even notice its occurence...Its like "who are u?" "oh am Achu's Itchichi amma...."

Aha! The Inventive Vocalist

Achu has picked up a few bhajans at school and he keeps singing them always....by always I mean ....always...yeah that's what I mean....he keeps repeating the lil he knows over and over again and what he doesn't know he puts in his own words....that's when the serious bhajan becomes a comedy....

"Om jai jagadheesha VARRREEEE".
"Ganesha sharanam sharanam ganesha..bam bam bola bam abam bolaaa reee...neelakandha neelakhanda reee...swami kandha swami kandha reee...."

Another of his all time favorites is our poor national anthem....but must admit he's good at it...he started of really young ....Used the anthem as a lullaby ...yeah patriotism to the core...jai hind!

Now he loves "nanha munna rahi hoon desh ka sipahi hoon bolo mere sang jai hind jai hind" ..and ragupathy raghava raja ram "..hmmm a fit candidate for the 2023 elections in the making....

Yeah! From Tummy to Heart

My dear achu fell sick ...and what I felt was a state of unexplainable helplessness...have posted it in my personal blog right here.

It is me who kept telling moms to stay detached from your kids so that you don't feel the pain when they have to leave you...they have to go so make it easy for them and yourself ....but the day achu fell sick I knew I was no less a attached specimen then all the zillions of moms out there...God it hurt....My mind kept telling my heart it was gonna be fine...but my heart refused to pain less...and infected my mind as well...so panic followed ...then it took nothing less than a "Achu is fine" day to get me back to being the normal "detached " mom I claimed to be...

It must be tough to let go of a being that lived in you literally ...yes they are sure out of your tummy but they can never move out of your heart can they....???
