Dear Readers,
Do you know any foodie? If not, look no further! I am a big foodie – meaning I love eating food but more importantly I love experimenting with food. Making food is like science; Keep mixing stuff until you get something which starts to look edible. No, no, don’t be in a haste to say ‘yucky’! I have made some edible items in the past which my experimental group (my family) had reluctantly tried and praised.
One fine day, while running high on the success of making passable food items, I made a brave decision. I decided to bake a cake for a friend. Now, baking cake is a scientific process. The ingredients must be precise, and the mixing must be done in a specific way. I did all that and more and baked a perfect cake. I decorated it with small sugar flowers and butterflies. I must say it looked amazing. The guests at the party congratulated me for making such a pretty cake. I was elated.
Soon it was time to cut the cake. My friend gave me a sweet smile and silently thanked me for going through the trouble of baking the cake. She took the knife and tried to cut a slice. The knife passed through the creamy layer but got stuck as soon as it hit the cake layer. My friend’s sweet smile turned into a frown as she tried her best to cut it. She even put her whole weight on the knife to cut, but the cake didn’t yield. Some suggested a bigger knife. That too didn’t help with the obstinate cake. One person used a hammer and chisel to try and cut a piece. That helped and we finally got a piece to try. But the bigger question that we faced now was – whom to feed the cake! Everyone suggested that I should try the first slice. Hurt by everyone’s panicky demeanor, I took my phone out to book an appointment with the dentist and proceeded to try the cake.

Hola, and I'm back Amigos
With more of children's woes.
A child's work is play
Mom never sees it that way!
No matter how much you do
Playtime is always taboo.
You have to plead, goad and bribe
For what is the right of our tribe!
Why, I really want to know
Do parents hate playtime so.
My next complaint is on account
of the doctors and their doubts
A little nip, a few blots,
A march to the white coats.
A cardiologist may know the heart
But paediatricians aren't so smart!
Of children's hearts, they know little
If you ask me, they just piddle!
And now we must list
The constantly critical fist -
A reader needs to get some sun
An athlete should get reading done.
A TV addict will need glasses
A player should be in his classes!
Something is always wrong
Here goes the correction gong!
With that, this instalment ends
Fear not, this is just the bend
Other kids will soon tell me
What else there needs to be.
Dear Stars

Sleep when we want to play,
Wake up when we want to sleep.
Keep things that mom likes,
Throw things we want to keep!
If we like it, its ‘unhealthy’,
Veggies and fruits, they’re aplenty!
If God intended us to eat
But the Good Lord chose us to say,
“Cake is good! Let us eat, I pray!”
The parents’ heart is made of rock
It melts not for the sweetest flock!
On studies! Oh! Words fail us
We’re thrown under the bus!
When am I going to use,
The rate at which, heat we lose?
Why the Greek alphabet,
When English works just fine?
Why the history of Mughals,
Are they coming to dine?
Mom is always busy,
Dad is always right.
This is a No-win battle,
Try as we might.
It’s not all bad,
I'll grant you that.
But being a child,
In my mind,
Is not a thing of much respite.
Dear Readers,
“Let’s take a few selfies, Mum”. Lately, I have learnt to run the opposite way whenever my daughter comes to me with a seemingly harmless play idea. It is because I know with experience that a harmless makeup time ends with me looking like Medusa. I have now learned to say no to my daughter’s play suggestions prudently and carefully. But when I heard her asking for selfies, I thought, ‘why not’. What harm would that bring. Boy, was I wrong!
What I forgot was that this generation was born pouting for selfies. My 7-year-old knew how to pose and pout and clicked one amazing pic after another, of hers! When I objected that she is not making me look good, she gave me a piercing look, insinuating that there’s only so much a camera can do. I was not having any of that. I replied with my icy cold stare. That put her right back on track. She suggested that I lift my chin up, look in the distance, pout, and smile at the same time, and a thousand other things. I was unable to deliver, and the fact irritated me to my bones. “It’s so easy. Why can’t you do it?”, she chided me, just the way I chide her when she does her homework. “It’s not easy, okay”! I was genuinely angry by now. But just then my daughter cried “Yes, this is great”, which was followed by a ‘click’ sound. “Look Mum, we are both looking nice”, she exclaimed, looking at the image adoringly. Looking at her sweet expressions my expectations rose immediately, and I took the phone to have a look at the picture. The picture was nothing like I expected, she of course looked deceptively cute, but me! With my nostrils flared up, lips pursed, and brows furrowed - I was once again looking like Medusa!

Dear Readers,
Did you see the Wimbledon’s finals yesterday? Yes! The one between Novak Djokovic and Matteo Berrettini. It made my daughter quite unhappy. You see, she has recently developed an interest in tennis and has seen a total of 4 matches. Unfortunately, all Djokovic’s and he won in each one of them. I say unfortunately because it made my daughter very upset. Each time she rooted for the other guy, be it Tsitsipas, Shapovalov, Fuscovics, or Berrettini, and each time she was left disappointed. Yesterday, she sat with her magnifying glass to minutely observe Djokovic’s moves. She was suspicious that his racket might be powered by battery, especially when he served at 125mph. She examined his shoes carefully by moving closer to the television set with her magnifying glass close to her when Novak ran unbelievably fast to hit the ball. She was sure she saw tiny trampoline springs that gave him speed. By the end of it, she had enough of Djokovic’s impressive racquet skills and expressed a desire to talk to him. She wanted to explain to him that one should learn to share, and as Djokovic won French Open, he should let Wimbledon go. When she failed to convince me to use my twitter account, she wrote a long letter which we posted today.
I understand her though. I too always rooted for the team on the losing side when I was young. One day she too will understand the effort it takes for Djokovic to keep winning.
