3.45 pm....

3.45 pm: Maaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Reply: Vaadaaaaaa!!!

Everyday at 3.45 pm, this is a conversation I get to hear from my next flat. I haven't seen the owners of the voice. Nevertheless, the first one belongs to a small boy and the reply is from his mother. :)

It just takes me to the past how I used to ring my cycle bell continuously once I reach the end of my street and start screaming 'ammaaaaaaa' once I'm near the gate. This was a routine till I completed college. :)

It did not have any significance then but when I think about it now, I feel it is the wait to meet your mother after a gap of 8 hours. Share all that happened at school / college.

Even after so many years out of college and getting married there is not one day that goes without talking to them ... :) Everyday begins with either an "ammaaaaaa" or "daddyyyyyyy" on phone.... :)

How things have changed! I used to do it when I went by school bus, when I walked to school, cycle, then on my own vehicle to work :) Every single day!

Now, as I stay away - I do the amaaaaa on whatsapp to her. She replies 2.5 hours later, when it is wake up time in India! love :)
