The Child in me!!!

Ever wondered as what kindles the child in us.Probably this is one of the rare instances where i may put a serious post.

I remember my childhood days when i wud never sleep without hugging my dad.To go to sleep i always wanted my dad to be with me. Those were the days i slept a lot earlier than i do today, but then i used to wait for appa to come back from office, finish his routine and come to sleep..:) I used to feel so protected being with him.. sometimes advice, sometimes pacifying ,sometimes stories.. I used to love the warmth i got from being with him.

Days rushed!! I am now a "Grown-up"(so called). Got into a software profession, things reversed. Appa now waits for me to come from office. He only goes to bed after seeing me in and more importantly after seeing me eat. Most of the time i am little too tired to even talk properly. I had almost forgotten the lovely days of childhood hugging and being with him eversince i got a separate room and private space for me...

Yesterday was a very dull day for me... There was no specific reason though... i had got stressed out. Was in an all-time foul moods.. This is when i realised i cant take it anymore, shutdown my system and headed home.

My appa and my family were elated to see me home @ 8( when they were awake!!). The elation and happiness in their face brought a smile on my face.
After a very long time had a hearty meal at home but still something was bothering me... I didnt feel like sleeping.. especially not sleeping alone.. I walked into my parents bedroom... started talking .. talking..( all kinds of topics starting from movies, career.. to marriages,retired life-- everything) and i kept talking.. I really cudnt stop because this was after a long time that i had such a nice talk with my parents and sis...

I asked my parents if i cud sleep with them.. they were so game for the idea.. i slept next to appa as i used to before.. when i hugged him drops of tears rolled down my eyes.. My stress had gone down, felt a sense of new energy... tears still kept rolling... i felt like a child which cries without knowing what it wants .. and only the parents warmth and pats stops its cry..and so it did yesterday for me!!

That is when i realised and discovered the child in me again!!!

Love my family!!!
