Summers

I love the Summer season. I absolutely love the feeling when you can sleep with the windows open in the night and you can feel the nice breeze. While I grew up, summers were always associated with vacations and you could read a lot of novels from the library, play cricket everyday, watch lot of cricket on TV, and travel to places. So I used to always look forward to the Summer season. One of the biggest draws of the summer season -is Mangoes. Navya has started enjoying the frooti waala orange juice. So I am hoping that she will more than make up for the 1 season she lost in her life - to have as many mangoes as possible. If there is one thing in which I'd like to play the modern Indian parent and put pressure on our child by forcing our expectations on her - it is this. She just can't not like mangoes. She will miss out on the most enjoyable part of growing up in India.
And yes, you can quote me on this - if Navya says that she'll eat mangoes if I am ready to listen to Himmesshh every day, I will actually consider it.
