MANAN- Strings of love

46. Childhood Videos

   Thank you for all your votes and comments. I just got some time so thought of updating.

    Home, sweet home! that was what I am thinking since I am in Saxena Mansion. I know it does not give me the freedom I have in my house but this is better than that hospital ward. After Manik's words, I am still worried about Shikha. 

    I tried telling this to Harshad but apparently, Gunjan is not well and is too much stressed in all this. I was watching some movie when Gunjan and Harshad entered. "What did the doctor say?" I asked as soon as Gunjan sat beside me.

   "They told it might be acidity but I don't think it is acidity. They did some blood test, telling me to collect the report after 3 days." She said. Shikha smiled when Gunjan returned and soon she was snuggled to Gunjan.

   Shikha says as Gunjan is a bit chubby she is really like a teddy bear so always sticking like a panda to her. Harshad brought some cassettes which we use it for handicap, started doing the settings with TV. 

    "What are you doing?" I asked as he was busy with TV. "I went to your home to collect the books you told me to bring. I found these cassettes with Shikha written on it. So thought of seeing all this." he said with child-like excitement.

    Soon everyone in the house arrived along with Druv who was visiting Aliya.

6th month of Shikha

"Navya you hold it with your right hand like this." my voice was heard from the video. "Ok, Shika, my cutie smile," Navya said as the camera focused on the baby Shikha who was leaning on a small red mickey mouse chair.

I still remember that I was making funny faces to make her laugh, and then seeing me she started laughing and clapping seeing it. "Oh hoo we did it." we could hear Navya's voice.

10th month of Shikha

In the video I was standing in kitchen dicing vegetable "Hi Nandini" Navya's voice was heard. I looked in the direction of the camera waving my knife. "After 4 months you remembered there is this camera," I said as I was still dicing the vegetable.

Now she was going from kitchen to living room where Shikha was playing, gurgling to herself. "Now Shikha will walk in her walker," Navya said as she placed the camera such that the camera focused on Shikha.

Navya placed Shikha in the walker. Shikha was clapping and laughing. I just laughed when Shikha didn't even settle she was running with her walker with Navya behind her asking Shikha to slow down. Along with me, everyone was laughing in the living room.

1st birthday of Shikha

"Happy birthday to you." song was heard as Navya stood there with Anarkali and I stood there with off-shoulder white top and a jeans pant. We stood on either side of Shikha who sat on the same mickey mouse chair. 

Navya was teaching her to blow the candle and Shikha was imitating it, seeing Navya, but candle didn't blow. I took the candle out the cut the cake annoyed by them. I took the cream and made Shikha taste it. 

Now I was finding a hard time controlling Shikha as she was stretching her both hands for cake and crying for cake.

1.5 year Shikha

Now Shikha stood in front of the camera. "Cutie say the chants NI taught you." Shikha blinked two times then my voice was heard. "Tell Om Ganeshaya Namaha". Then she started her chants. "Om Ganisaya nama, Om Gubaya nama, Om saru nama, Om lovely nama, Om Gori nama..." she was continuing when Gunjan asked Harshad to pause.
