Mira’s favorite word these days is Kaoo (Cow). Since it’s difficult to talk about Kaoos the entire day, Mira is figuring out other ways to practice her newly acquired word.
Mira, Duddu or juice?
Kaoo
No Mira. Duddu or juice?
Kaoo
OK then, Mummy is going.
Kaoo
Kaoo
Kaoo

“No Mira!”
Mira recklessly runs towards the TV, with a kitchen scrubber in one hand and a photo frame in the other.
“No Mira!”
She switches on the TV and smiles back mischievously as the screen takes a second to come on.
“No Mira!”
As her hair go absolutely erect with the charge on the screen, Mira nods her head vigorously and sways her arms enthusiastically to the tune of the anthem the channel plays solemnly in praise of the country’s king. Having put up a brief performance, Mira suddenly switches off the TV.
"Oh finally……..thank yoooo…………NO MIRA!.”
And the TV comes on again…….
**************
It’s evening.
Mummy is tired with her bits of house work, part-time office work and too much analysis of how life would shape up in the next 5 years – where would the family be?, will she able to work full-time?, how would Mira react to her absence? etc. etc.
Mira is in the kids’ room of the building – busy pushing some poor kid out of a yellow toy car so that she could ride it just for the 50th time – an absolutely reasonable request which for some vague reason is not met with equal enthusiasm by others.
Almost an hour passes by when the front door opens up suddenly.
And a cheerful Mira enters the dining room which has a glum Mummy seated right across with her hands firmly placed on the laptop and her eyes looking away into wilderness.
Mira’s eyes meet Mummy’s.
There’s a loud squeal as Mira runs uncontrollably towards Mummy – her unsteady feet going at the best rate they can manage, almost ready to declare a fall with each step they undertake. Mummy goes down on her knees and stretches her arms wide open as an excited Mira dives into them.
There is a moment of perfect harmony. It feels as if God is in his heaven and all’s just right with this unpredictable world.
And then, Mira spots the TV.
