Today, Kym made her Mamma cry.
Everyone was playing the ‘Introduction game’ in which one is supposed to start by saying, ‘Hi, I am Kedar, from Pune’ and so on and so forth.
Kymaia’s turn. She pauses. And begins, ‘Hi, I am Kymaia, from Natasha.’
Mamma bear’s heart = Melted.

My father Capt MN Mulla (IN)
MVC would have been 98 today
His action during the sinking of his ship INS Khukri in the 71 war
showed us not only how to live but how to die
You remain in my life now and forever 🙏
The irony when Indians discuss inheritance tax and wealth distribution hotly as if their next billion is threatened would have been cute if income and wealth disparity in the nation had not been at an all-time high. But it is not. It is simply tragic.
A history lesson. Unfortunately, those who badly need one do/can not read this. And that is the tragedy of this nation.
One more of a billion answers to the question #IfNotModiThenWho? @ShyamRangeela would be, if anything, improving the quality of entertainment we'd get.
Also, that he is a decent human being who doesn't want to kill, hurt, or harm another human is a plus.
Low bar. But it'll do.
![Mr Baba: 'Would you like to take off the backpack now that you've been downstairs for like 30 minutes?'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'I like it like this. You should try it. It's very comfortable.'
Mr Baba: [Pulling on his backpack] 'Hmmm, you're right. That's rather snug.'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'Twinning! Yay!'

![Kym: 'Mr Baba, can I tell you something wierd? You can actually get tired from doing nothing!!'
Me: 'It is called boredom.'
Kym: 'Noooo. I mean, like physically tired.'
Me: 'One can get tired and sleepy due to boredom. I remember reading about it somewhere. Let's find out.'
[Some Googling later]
Me: 'It says here that "A new paper published in the journal Nature Communications finds that a part of the brain that is associated with motivation and pleasure - the nucleus accumbens - also can produce sleep. The new findings may explain why we have the tendency to fall asleep in the absence of motivating stimuli, i.e., when bored." Isnt it interesting?'
Kym: 'I already knew that. Why do you need to research things we already know?'
Me: [Finding a subject worth talking about now]: ' Ah well, that's what we'll talk of tomorrow on your morning run. It's very interesting the way science is done and our understanding of the universe is expanded.'
Kym: 'Can we talk of unicorns instead?'
Me: 'Sure. How do you know they exist? That's an interesting question too that you can use the scientific method to answer.'
Kym: 'Do they have to exist for us to talk about them? We can just pretend they do for an hour and have fun.'
Me: [Laughing] 'Yes, sure. We can do that too.'
