When he was 3, three questions of MahaVishnu that gave him the measure of a person ( any person, doesn't even have to be a person) that amma and naanna are talking about:
1>Is he 'real'? (as opposed to a storybook character)
2> Does he talk?
3> Is he a good guy ?

Happy Birthday to me

I will be 35 tomorrow - or already am in some parts of the World . I've had a good life. I am a Gemini, and my life depicts the duality of it all. Life so far ...

My Parents: The yin and the yang of parenting -
She disciplined, he spoiled.
He taught, she was distraught (worrying for us :)
She protected. He liberated .
As parents go, we (my siblings and I) couldn't have asked for better parents.

My Siblings: Both older than I. I don't remember ever wondering if I wanted to be an only child. We were a complete package - buy 2, get 1 free . Annoyed the hell out of me a lot of times, but largely because of them, I yam who I yam.

Friends: Always part of a crowd, always alone.

Husband : One reason I am still married to the same person all these years - he is still an enigma to me , even though I know him inside out.

MahaVishnu: My Tormentor. My God. My Son. The one who validates my being.

Happy Birthday to me.
