22 years is a long time… or probably not quite! I still remember the first moment when I held you in my hand... you were quite heavy then also :) for an eight year old! You had a beautiful round face…(like drawn with a compass) so peaceful & calm… pink rosy cheeks... closed eyes and fists … probably you are the most beautiful newborn I have ever seen!
I still remember your first word… aao….your first turn …when we were all playing carom…. your first song... hero hiralal... or heeeeeooo hiyaaaaal like you sang… and your happy screams of 'oye oye..' looking at both of us coming home from school!!!
You grew into a little monster… locking yourself in bathrooms. .. blasting soda bottles in the tub and clapping aloud at the 'boom' sound….opening up all the pens you could lay your hands on (and somehow.. you did manage to break each and every one that ever existed in the house!!) … you were a little whiz kid…innovative, inquisitive and weird in your own little way... but loveable indeed… (Papa ki kutti baby :) )
And today you turn 22…. it amazes me how soon you have grown into a young man… about to finish college and ready to embark on your professional journey … what hasn’t changed (and should never change) is your smile!!
So on this day … here's wishing you many more amazing years…keep the weirdness alive… it’s a sign of genius :)
Happy Birthday and God bless!!
