Innocently Yours :)

Krithika and Raj invited us over dinner yesterday. There house is quite a distance from our apartment here and we had just finished our afternoon siesta. It was a really arduous task for us to break our slumber and press the gas! I had to plead with Sharmila to get up and after we sat in the car, the car took over and we were back to our standard bickerings :)..all harmless ;)
The drive seemed quite long, but after reaching out there, our stay surely seemed short! Cortesy little darling Saatvi and ofcourse Aditi, but Saatvi was the boisterous one and tingled many a nerve. Every few minutes with her taught me something new.

A few minutes into their house, I asked Saatvi if she could do hula hoops and she tried and tried and never gave up. Finally, she managed to hoop along for almost a minute :). Failure didn't daunt her, it only encoraged her to try once again!
She seemed exceedingly happy doing almost nothing, smiled around, bounced around, ran around and laughed, laughed and laughed...and here we are, "seeking happiness" when it can be so easily found around us, in small things, small nothings! World from a kids pigeon hole seemed so nice !

And then came her innocent candor, when she asked us "Do you have kids?". We were both startled and amused at that (atleast I was), but we knew that the intent behind the question was just new playmates for her :).

Kids as I see them are simple, innocent, uncomplicated, candid, inquisitive and above all happy! And, we adults are called grown-ups and all that we do is seek out happiness that seems to come so naturally to them :D
