Eek …yeeeek… ayeeeeee. I ran from my work desk to the
child’s room . And found a very pleased infant and a giggling maid .Whaaat was that?
It was Vira communicating .WOW !!this is big .
I just have to sit down and see her do it. Common baby one more time …
Pleaseeeeeee . But these are moments
that define her existence. THE YELL, made with all her might, tight fists and
stiff legs, all the concentration on the creation of a sound. It is definitely
not very musical but it’s a start. ‘Kilkari’ is word in hindi which defines it
– the unique sound of childhood. It’s a big upgrade from goooo, which she was
using till date to denote positive emotions.
The surprising part is how fast her vocabulary seems to
grow. And as she adds new sounds to her database, she also adds in emotions. So
she actually frowns and her tone changes. I am able to differentiate between
the ‘yeek when not pleased’ and ‘yeek when pleased’.
The biggest joy of parenthood is to be able to watch these
self –learnings . I know that kids pick up cues from the environment around
them and, at this stage, its mostly the house. But it will be extremely pompous
for me to claim the credit for all her learnings. As I watch in amazement and
happiness, I can only say a big ‘Thank you ‘to the almighty for giving me an
opportunity to watch this evolution of Vira .
