The Child

-
The glittering and the twinkling eyes
The laughter in our house never dries!
The little hands that do litter
No, they do not turn our moods bitter!

Many barbies and stuffed toys
There is no end to our joys.
Kitchen sets and fishing kits
The cars and the train sets that fits!

The non-stop chatter
What's there on that platter?
The eager questions that arise
Its like Einstein in disguise!

Whether to wear a frock or a knicker
Can I please have another snicker?
How is it that we bake a cake?
Oh! Please tell me for Christ's sake!!

Has puppy now become a star?
Why has he gone so far?
Can you please put all my chocolates in the pink jar?
O Mamma, Can we please pet a jaguar?

How is it that a truck is made?
Is that a jasmine or a jade?
What is it that mamma is afraid?
Oh! I'm an expert in persuade!

The cycling around
I go round and round
Why do you laugh at my frown?
Do you think I'm a clown?

The shells that I collect from the sea-side
Daddy, let's go for a long ride!
Or let us go swing and slide
Or let me play the beautiful bride!

Enough for now
Don't ask me how!
Just clap your hands 
And shout "Wow"!

Hindi - the National Language of India?

-
Yeah I know, I have taken to writing again after a very long time. But here is an important issue on hand and I just could not stop myself from blogging on this! Hindi - is this the national language of India? Well, in short the answer is No. Let me tell you the story behind this. Till 1965, Articles 343 and 345 of the Constitution of India specified that the official language of India to be Hindi in Devanagari script, though states of India were free to adopt one or more local languages for all or any of the official purposes of that state. Pursuant to agitations particularly in South India in the 60s, today 22 languages carry official status and Government documents can be in any of the 22 recognized official languages. This has been clarified by court rulings as well, most recently in 2010 Gujarat High Court affirming equal role to all 22 languages.India is a Common law country---therefore, unless overturned by the legislature or a higher court explicitly, the ruling in 2010

Axomia or Assamese as we are popularly know as in English! Axom has a very rich culture. Not many people outside the state are aware of the beauty and culture of this pragmatic section of people. Here I mention some distinctive terms associated with Asom and Axomia people, in general! Bihu - "Otikoi Senehor Mugare Mekhela, Otikoi Senehor Maku, Tatukoi Senehor Rongali Bihuti, Napaati Kenekoi Thaku" No doubts when we hear the word Bihu, only Asom comes to our minds. Bihu is like one of the trademarks of Asom. Bihu is the main festival of Asom. We have mainly three bihus - the kati or kongali bihu, the Magh or bhogali bihu and the very festive, Bohag or Rongali bihu! Even the very beautiful dance of Asom is referred to as the Bihu dance. And, we all know how much we love it! Saah - Tea or saah as locally know is the most preferred drink in Asom. Yes, why not? We have the largest tea plantation in India! This inherently gives India the status of being the secon
