I want to be Aadi Agarwal

Early morning discussion at home between Anu, Aadi and I.

Me: Aadi will become Sachin when he grows up.
Anu: No way, he will be Shahrukh.
and so on
After five minutes both parents turn to win the argument.
Aadi thinks looks up and says: I will be Aadi Agarwal when I grow up. Since the entire repartee was in Hindi, Aadi's exact words were:main bada hoke Aadi Agarwal banunga.

Touche.

Shreya's Poem

Shreya wrote this poem when her mom took away her phone.

P.S. I LOVE YOU

OH MY DEAR! MY ONLY ONE
IN THE DARKNESS YOU ARE MY SUN!
WITHOUT YOU WHAT CAN I BE?
OH! ITS JUST INCOMPLETE ME…

YOU ARE MY ENTERTAINER WHEN I AM BORED
MY COMPANION ON A LONELY ROAD
RIGHT NOW I AM THINKING OF YOU
NOT TO MENTION I AM MISSING YOU TOO

YOU WERE WITH ME, STUCK LIKE GLUE.
RIGHT NOW WITHOUT YOU, I AM SO BLUE.
YOU WERE AND ARE ‘THE APPLE OF MY EYE’
FOR ME IT WAS SO DIFFICULT TO SAY GOODBYE

WITHOUT YOU, RIGHT NOW I CRY
TO FORGET YOU, I TRY AND TRY AND TRY
MY PARENTS BROKE OUR BOND
OF EACH OTHER WE WERE SO FOND

I REMEMBER OUR LAST MEMORIES
WITH YOU I WAS HAVING THOSE STRAWBERRIES
DON’T WORRY I WON’T FORGET YOU,
THAT IS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO.

YOU DID MY CALCULATIONS FOR ME,
OH HOW I THANK THEE!
OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER WERE PURE BLISS
I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS

YOU ARE MY GUIDING STAR
MY ‘BREAK, MY ‘KITKAT’ BAR
FOR YOU I GROAN AND I MOAN
I MISS YOU MY DEAR PHONE.
