Me too

Too late in india 12.07 am

Baccho Happy Diwali

Thanks for thinking of this theme, Tannu!

We’ve all been children at some point, and some of us may feel nostalgic about their childhood, others may still be unleashing their ‘inner child’ at the most inappropriate times and still others could be reliving their childhood days through their own children or seeing it from a different perspective. As a parent, this song just hits different and resonates like no other! You know they’re growing and they don’t need you as much anymore and while you watch them grow into strong, confident, independent humans, you also need that ‘neediness’.

Parents will get this.

Slipping through my fingers: Abba

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm losing her forever

And without really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake, I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go?

(Slipping through my fingers all the time)

Well, some of that we did but most we didn't

And why? I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers

And here’s a song that speaks of the child as a symbol of secularity.

And another song on secularism - but this one has the parent declaring that they will bring up their child as a human first and foremost.

Tu Hindu banega na musalman banega

This classic song is not just a children’s favorite but has also been one of my eternal favourites as an adult. How do you not sing-along and nod your heads to Yellow Submarine?

Another Beatles classic…

Octopus’ Garden

I’d like to be under the sea

In an Octopus’ Garden in the shade.

Sigh.. wouldn’t we all?
