I was sound asleep when I felt a whisper in my ears .   Dear wife was upto some tricks !!!!!!!!!! naah , clumsily I opened my eyes to see my 6 yrs old devil standing in front of me and holding on to his family jewels . what happened soikat … bahut zor se lagi hai …. Arre mamma ko jagao cumon … . but he would not listen . so cursing I wake up and take him to the toilet . I look at the watch only to find 0430 am staring at me . That’s midnight for me  . I again tucked myself into my cosy surroundings and went into my dreams ( sweet ones ) .

The dreams would not come and my sleep was over . Tried hard but but to no avail .I decided to just lay there and look at the state of my home . The rooms looked a little dirty and things were not in order .Maybe she needs some admonishing. My wife wakes up with the alarm and she stays there for some time and then looks at me ( I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep ) affectionately .She gets up clumsily and drags herself towards the washroom .30 minutes later out comes a woman in a hurry . Now she is not moving , she is gliding at fast pace . She wakes Soikat up now and marches towards the washroom and Soikat is clean in a jiffy . she calls me from the kitchen , subbu , bęte ka school bag thik kar do , please . Such a silly job !!!! she has to wake me up !!! so grudgingly I move towards the school bag , but wait !!!!! what the hell is that , looks more like a mini library !!! well where to start ? There are books and then there are class work books  , home work books , drawing books and the diary . well , don’t give me this faltu work to do yaar , I have more serious things to attend to  , and I vamoose myself from there . phoey ………

She comes to me and looks straight into my eyes and lovingly asks , which work do u think u can handle , Can u make him study in the evening then ? yeah why naat ( rajni kant style )but provided u put the house in order  . Did I see a mischievious smile on her lips ??well in the hindsight I suppose it was a big mistake . 

I opened up his hindi book only to find strange letters looking at me …...Was I reading a hindi book or a history lesson because for me hindi was as good as history . chalo maths karte hain ......dad plus kyu karte hain ? more questions ............For good one hour I struggled to make him study and then I finally had it .mummy se baaki pad lena , I am tired ….but humne toh shuru bhi nahi kiya tha ?Dont argue …….. whew !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  During the dinner time I asked my wife ,……tutor laye kya ? she scolded me and said ..rahne do …., I will manage . Soikat interjected , Dad chalo lets watch cartoon show ….hmm I could do that …easy .
