My nephew Saashvath came yesterday from the US with my sis. He didn't really recall who I'm...and then I sang a 'family song'...something I used to sing to him (a tune that I don't know how I got) when he was here 5 months back. Hearing it, I think he started getting back the connection with me. And today...I took him for a walk on the stroller pointing to him objects like dog, crow, bike, tree etc. He then went into a deep sleep. When we woke up and he saw me, he looked at me as if for the first time and went after my sis...not only did he not remember the old times, but also just what we did a couple of hours back. I told him, 'I cannot keep singing you the 'family song' every time you forget me like this.'...lol.
Jokes aside, it is also a reminder of the fragile memory that people have. In this world, to be attached to anyone is asking for trouble. Anyway, in the days ahead, I have a companion in Saashvath, though he is not going to remember any of these times when he has grown up.
