Dear Diary,
I did something foolish today ....
We were walking through a garden, Abhi, his mom and I. She was telling me my name and was asking me to repeat it. Then she told Abhi to tell me my name. So my little bro repeated my name. This was really funny. Why were they teaching me my name when I already knew it? Hehehehe ! We sat on a bench and she then asked who this little boy was. Abhi told me his name. But Abhi soon got fed up and asked his mom if he could play. He ran off. The nice lady continued to talk to me. But my mind was going to some place else. I espied a cart selling icecream. "Antara – icecream" was my repeated slogan. The nice lady told me to wait and went to buy the icecream. My feet lifted. I got off the bench and began to walk away. I didn't know where I was going…….
Little did I know what I had done
As I walked away in the evening sun
The nice lady returned with her treat
Was aghast not to see me on my seat
It's not as if I don't really bother
What happens to my lil brother
What had I done to my loving dears
Papa frantic and the lady was in tears.
