My beta has got a new pet and he is very fond of his new pet. He has named it Bruno and loves to cuddle the pet all the time. He wants me to bring along his Bruno, when we go pick him up from school.He always keep talking to his pet and he likes the fact that his Bruno does not do potty..!! He says..”Bruno, if you ever become a live dog, then also.. you just bark… Ok.. don’t do any susu and potty..”
My beta has a habit of saying pick upping instead of picking up. He says qweet.. for cute.
My beta was busy making a website in his sketch book for his bobo mamu when he saw that we are working on Bob’s site. He made various sections like Bobo mamu’s school, Bobo mamu’s college, Bobo mamu’s zoo… He calls it bobomamu.com. Whenever I tell him that I am feeling sad and missing Bobo mamu, he tells me..”Mamma don’t be sad for mamu now, mamu is a God now and he is up in the sky.”
My beta was so excited when he joined school after a break of more than 4 months. All his old friends were happy to see him back in school and all the didis and bhaiyyas were also happy to see Urjit baba, back in school. He is in the same school since he was just 1.5 yrs. old. My beta is very fond of telling everyone that he is in PYP I class.
My beta loves to call up his nani and mausi as he knows those two numbers by heart other than his mom and dad’s number. He always calls up his mausi and starts making plan for saturdays and sundays.
My beta makes it a point to goto sleep early so that he can get up early and is not late for his school. In fact he also asks me to sleep early so that I can cook his tiffin and keep it ready in time.He loves to take bath on his own and play under the shower.He feels that he is a grown up boy now and he can take bath himself. He also loves taking bubble bath in the bath tub and he will request me for a bubble bath everyday.
My beta loves to sing “Pappu can’t dance.. saala..”. Loves to listen to Radio Micrchi in the car. He loves music and gets very irritated when we talk in the car.
My beta is a great fan of dinosaurs. And he can give a good speech on dinosaurs, type of dinosaurs, the various periods of dinosaurs. He is waiting eagerly to see all the Jurrassic Park movies.We showed him this movie called Shaolin Soccer and he enjoyed it so much. These days he loves to watch the serial Jai Shri Krishna on Colors channel.
My beta knows that we can find anything and everything on the internet. If he asks me some question, and I say..”beta, I don’t know..” He will reply “You can check it on the internet Mamma and tell me.”
My beta often teases his dad. When his dad calls me and asks for my opinion regarding any topic or mails to be sent to client, my beta will say “Mamma.. i think papa should also goto school again and do writing and reading.He is always asking you.” He loves to join in most of our communication and give his valuable inputs.On dusshera both of us were busy making marigold garlands for the car,doors and the mandir and from the flowers, he got two worms. First one, when he showed it to his dad, his dad threw it. He got another one, so he got a nice tiifin for the worm, got some leaves and flower petals, made a nice home for the worm and kept playing with it.. he started calling it wormy.. wormy.. he was telling me that his wormy will soon turn into a butterfly
. When he again showed the next worm to his dad, his dad shouted..”Sanna, why are you playing with that..throw it away”. My beta came to me and he is telling me slowly..”this papa, he will never know what kids like and what kids don’t like”. I just smiled.
My beta came from school very excited the other day. When I asked what happened.. he says.. you know mamma, my library mam knows manipuri. She was speaking to me in manipuri. He said.. I don’t know what she was saying, but I know it was manipuri only. He adds..”i told my m’am that my papa also speaks manipuri” When his teacher asked you don’t know manipuri.. he replied.. I only know ishing(water), chak chare(had food).
My beta asked me a very intelligent question last week. He was asking me..”mamma, when my heart wants to say something then does it come from my mouth or my mind is saying what i am saying.” I asked him if this is something related to their class discussions, whether his mam said like that. He says no.. he only wants to know and was telling me that in his school they are reading about public places these days. SO most of their discussions are related to public places and he was explaining movie hall,hospitals, railway stations are all public places and one day, their teacher gave them an assignment to write down the list of public places and one of the kids wrote ‘chocolate’ as public place…and how everyone in the class had a good laugh.
My beta was narrating me some incident today and he said.. you know air hostel(he meant air hostess) mamma.. I was like.. air hostel? yes air hostel, those who serve food and give juice and chocolates..I said.. you mean me.. I also serve food and give you juice and chocolates too.. but you are just home hostel mamma.. he tells me.
My beta loves to sing aarti with his nani and has learnt to sing ‘hare rama hare krishna’. He was requesting me to compile a book of all the aartis that I know so that both of us could sing it together when we do our pooja.

Urjit with his pet Bruno

I am honoured that you were inspired by my “I” post and went ahead with your own version. Urjit’s becoming really very smart with his questions and growing up to be a handsome young man.
[...] This photo was taken in year 2008. Urjit was never fond of soft toys, and I used to buy so many… sometimes I wonder if I bought those soft toys for him or for myself Well this particular dog, i found it so cute and looks like a real dog. I got this from Hamley’s London, when i visited London for the first time. Urjit never played with them, but few months back, he got a liking for this dog and used to treat him like his pet dog and he even named it Bruno [...]
