Shravu straddling 2 worlds like II did not to long ago any wonder he connects better with her than anyone else. Somewhere I felt my lip quiver like II's listening to Shravu understanding his need to occupy 2 different worlds at the same instant.
DEDICATED to all the kids around us who knowingly or unknowingly get into trouble... Prathima borrowed title from your comment
TROUBLED AND TROUBLING
Kids that steal your heart forever are always yours
Their pranks and antics make way for mischief
As they grow you are pushed to hold their secrets and scrapes
The love for them gets the better of us we yield we succumb we get blamed and pushed
Tables get turned, insults get hurled the going gets miserable
Distance yourself you cant. You have loved them longer than your own
You think you love them more than your own
Sometimes a caring Aunt and Uncle are the confidants you seek
They are the guardian angels hovering around you
Their love and affection you know for sure and are reluctant to miss
Shravvu to II had been the kid she adored and pampered
Pranked and pestered when he is in a mess he drags II in it
Like the bus episode that left her gashed the only caring soul in Munirka
He was the brat she adored and had been permitted to transform like her
Till a Prince Charming swept her off her feet and wealth became the great divide

WHAT ARE GRANDPARENTS?
(Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds) You'll love it:
Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's.
A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady!
Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.
When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on 'cracks.'
They don't say, 'Hurry up.'
Usually are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.
They wear glasses and funny underwear.
They can take their teeth and gums out.
Grandparents don't have to be smart.
They have to answer questions like 'Why isn't God married?' and 'How come dogs chase cats?'
When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us..
They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.
A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. ''Oh,'' he said, ''she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.''
Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but i don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!
II thought smugly
