As usual Megh called me “Mummy……” This is first call of the day. I wake up around 5 and children around 7, so I have good ‘my time’ in the morning. And some hugging, kissing & masti as usual he opened side table drawer and handed me a book – it’s Narsinh Maheta’s poems. (Narsinh Maheta – who is the creator of Gandhiji’s favorite Vaishnavajan to tene re kahiye…). I love his prabhatiya (devotional bhajans of Krishna-bhakti) since childhood and so my kids but since long we have forgotten to sing them. But today morning he just handed the book and demanded me to sing. I sung ‘Mari hundi …’ & ‘Gir taleti ne kund damodar….’ Ah….those were wonderful moments!
So, this is our homeschooling morning. Sometimes song, sometimes story but most of the time narration of dream Megh has seen….sometimes remember fully or sometimes just forget….or sometimes just a story! Ashna is a slow raiser and as Chinese astrology she is snake and I literally feel her like snake lazily rolling into bed!
What was our morning as school-goer? Oh! that was terrible time. Ashna had morning school and making her ready - waking her from bed, brushing teeth or bath everything was an individual battle. And most of the time she has no time for breakfast-just a glass of milk even th school time was 8am. Everyday I was planning making her mornings 'Good' in real sense but at last we all were having stressful mornings… then I was asking myself ‘Why I’m sending my kid to school?'
No point remembering our hard time but when people thinks it's tough and I answer them 'No, it's easy on the contrary'. And it's not just learning it's completely different life-style...living & learning without any boundary.
