This one is another daughter isnpired post..
Its raining cats and dogs in Bangalore, everyday its a struggle to reach home safe and dry, thanks to the muddy skiddy roads and overflowing underpasses. The peak traffic woes are a given during the rainy season. While I was cribbing about my feet getting dirty, my dress getting mud stains, little did I notice that my daughter was enjoying the rain.
The other day I was taking her out on a fairly clear evening for a drive, and on the way to parking lot there were a lot of puddles. The first puddle my lil one came across, she jumped right in to it splashing the water all over. I tried to be mad at her for splashing the dirty water all over her and me but oh boy! the joy on her face .. totally worth it! All she cared was the fun she got out of the water splash, she just didnt bother about her feet getting wet or her dress getting wet. It was pure innocence wanting to have fun in a puddle of water. I could never get myself to do that, inspite of the fact that its fun and the feet can be washed and dress can be cleaned!
Why do we all grow up in to such moronic adults missing out on the fun in lil things of nature?

Well you might be a moron ... but I have always pushed Yashi into rain on every chance :D :D :D I make her run on the 'puddle' of water again ... and again ... and again.
She doesn't like being wet, just like me, but I push her to enjoy it :D
Well.. when I said moronic adults I meant, we push the children in to puddles but we dont go in to them right? I would also not stop Akshara, but I wouldn't go splash the puddle inspite of knowing how much fun it is!
