To be or not to be...

It was fun watching mommy, nani, and nanny when i started crying last night...
"it must be gas in aarya's tummy - lets try and burp him" (which means they start beating my back)
"he needs to be held tightly and comforted, maybe he is getting scary dreams" (that is a tight hug and steady patting like a reggae beat)
"he is feeling cold, lets swaddle him tightly" (that is being wrapped tightly in a cloth)
Guess no one realises that i may want to relax and just BE...

Whats there in a name !




Mahākula kulinārya sabhya sajjana sadhavah
Amarakosa, (Sanskrit Thesaurus ca. 450 AD) defines Aarya thus: "An Aarya is one who hails from a noble family, of gentle behavior and demeanor, good-natured and of righteous conduct.

Airyanəm Vaējah

The word "arya" (in the form āriyā, آریا), in the modern Persian language, also means "noble", and is derived from the ancient Farsi word `Ariya', which itself is derived from the ancient Persian word `Arya'.

After a lot of deliberation (9 months & 9 days actually ;-)) my folks have taken the second decision as 'parents' (the first one was where to give me the BCG shot - my bum or my arm) !!!

Thank you for all your blessings.

Time for poo-poo...
