A baby and a lullaby

This I need to record before my tired brain throws it away. As I kept typing pages after pages arguing and cross arguing about educational equity, looking haggard and drained out, Aarushi came very quietly and whispered in my ears, "Mama, if you have another baby, can I sing the song "Bedtime for Toys" and put her (yes, 'her') to sleep ?"

Those are the moments for which God has gifted us with children.

Research and some more

The joy of cracking the data
the joy of powerful writing
the joy of reading super rhetoric
the joy of dsicovery
the joy of originality
the joy of 'not just duty'....

.... the fatigue of 20 hours a day
the teas and the sweets and the fats
the missed times with kids
the missed hikes
the missed calls home
the missed dinners, parties and friends.

Hang on....
I am almost there.
