Yesterday, my FIL made a comment "Your daughter is like a doll. She is so loveable and cuddalable. But she is not beautiful. She looks like Moddu and Muddu (dumb female)"
Well, I was certainly not happy to hear this. I totally believe in the kannada adage "Hethavarige Heggana Muddu" roughly translates to "You will love the child you give birth to, even if it happens to be a RAT"
So, dear Aditi, no matter what Thatha tells you, I love you with all my heart. I want you to know that my days have brightened after you came into my life. There have been nights when I have been awake but content at just staring at your lovely face... there are days when I shed tears just thinking about the day when you will get married, leave us and go.
And trust me...your appa goes through the same emotions ...
Aditi is indeed beautiful Vidya n so lucky to have a Mom like u .. this post touched my heart :)
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch, Swaram... I think all men are so hung up about beauty and fair skin and all that... dont really know why...but it truly upsets me
ReplyDeleteIt does upset me too! U won't believe .. one of my cousins is not as fair as the others in the family n one visitor who came to see her as a just-born said 'Chennagi gant idbeku eeglindhaane!' I wanted to kick him then n there :( Today, she is a national level player n a gr8 classical dancer. Hw did the colour even matter!!!!
ReplyDeleteThen I learnt never to be disturbed by what anyone says .. we can't change their thoughts - can we?
Oops....wat to say..
ReplyDeleteI am sure one day ur little one will make her grandpa say he is proud of her and he will recollect what u wrote above and regret it.. Timepass
