Since birth, every night, my folks have been breaking green bottles in an attempt to get me to sleep like a baby. Some nights, ten, and on some nights, more than 50 bottles would not be enough, to get me to sleep.
I don’t really remember when, but at some stage, early on, Ten Green Bottles became my favourite sleep time lullaby. Encouraged by this initial success, my mom developed it into a habit and it reached a point where the very sound of falling bottles would have me dozing off to niniland.
Time flies, and now, having broken all the green bottles, there are no more bottles left to breakL. I am a big baby now and so sleep time music includes nursery rhymes, blues, hindi classical and the latest addition, Putumayo.
The new sounds, rhythms and beats are fascinating, but on some nights, before nodding off to sleep, I miss the green bottles hanging on the wall and falling accidently one by one!!!!
