Yaadein

Bachchan ji coined the title for his autobiography – “Kya bhooloon kya yaad karoon” capturing everybody’s dilemma of what to remember and what to forget and what to record and what to share. Perhaps my biggest mistakes are my biggest lessons which I should never forget but do I really need to share them or my embarrassments or disappointments? I think it is best to keep them nicely tucked in my own safe vault. God has been Generous – there are plenty of things to flaunt and share like my daughter completing her Architecture program with a Gold Medal and my son Dr Udit  making it to “Marquis Who’s Who of USA”. And ofcourse there are memories of his first 100 steps unaided in a hospital corridor and her sharing of nursery school experience of studying ABC and “head-down” and exploring the secluded Etmad-ud-daula monument at Agra with their future mother much before that and even my own maiden stage appearance when I forgot my lines when I too was a small kid once upon a time.
