My little, elegant girl!

13 years ago, a tiny little angel was born to us! Those tiny fingers, rosy lips, rough skin! I could so connect to her as soon as I was announced preggies! I was elated to know, it was a girllll! I knew, now I have a friend for life, a shoulder to cry and a support for life!

Suddenly from a toddler to a school goer to a tween now! I dont even know where did time fly so soon...! From a little girl, she is now almost my height! Scolds me if I dont eat properly, takes care of me when I am sick, cries with me when I cry, Laughs with me when I laugh. Comes running to the airport no matter how late I come back after my travel. Hugs me when I need it the most. Btw, She just walked in and wished me all the best, when she came to know, I have started writing again!

She's almost there, growing up faster than I wish! She would turn into a young little woman very soon! I was thinking of that event and wrote down my thoughts as a tamil poem! Do enjoy!

பன்னிரெண்டு வயது மகள், ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் குளியலறையிலிருந்து அம்மா என்று கூப்பாடு போடும் போது, பதறி தான் போகிறேன்....

என்ன தான் விஞ்ஞானத்தில் பட்டம் பெற்றவள் என்றாலும்,
என்ன தான் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு விஞ்ஞானம் கற்பித்திருந்தாலும்,
உடல் மாற்றங்கள் வளர்ச்சியின் அறிகுறி தான் என்றாலும்...

அனைத்து கூற்றுக்களையும் உடைத்து மேலோங்கி பதறி தவிக்கிறது தாய்மை.

( Translation: Whenever my little girls shouts for help from the bathroom, I tremble fearing the worst....
Though I am a science graduate, a teacher in science once, my logical explanations fail in front of emotions of a mom!)

I know very soon, she is gonna be that little woman, a woman capable of taking her own decisions, a woman where I would see myself in her! But the hard reality is miss my little baby already! I do really!
