We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today. ~Stacia Tauscher

I hardly get time to talk to my sis these days, now that she’s a proud mom of a kid named “White Mustard”. No he’s not a Red Indian, he’s an Indian with a name “Siddhartha” which in Sanskrit means white mustard. According to my sis, the kid is a “smartie pie “, yep even I thought she meant Cutie pie but it seems he’s smarter than (cough cough) me . Why do people continue to compare their kids with me?? I know I have an iQ of 13 but that doesn’t mean that…..grr grr… Anyway it seems this American Born Indian dude, aged all of 5 months, knows what he wants and loves the new toys that his papa buys for him every weekend.And I predict that he’ll be a hacker,he’s more interested in the laptop than his chewy toys. His taste in music is just awesome (like me) and he likes to go to sleep when his mom chanting Ohm Ohm…( yep that Rafi song ..Om Shanthi Om..mere umar ke.. lala lalaa). Today’s conversation was about Himmi (Himesh Reshammiya). My sis wanted to know who this new singer was .. I was flabbergasted . OMG how could someone living on Planet Earth, with access to cable Television, not have heard of Himmi. It seems she was watching Zee and every 10 minutes the screen would fill with Himmi’s latest chart busters…..and the kid, Sid, who was happily chewing, God knows what,looked up , stopped his chewing, gave Himmi a look ( which was a cross between “ what the hell and OMG”) and went back to his chewing. OMG the kid was captivated by Himmi for more than 4.32 seconds. In my opinion the kid just became a huge fan of Himmi’s jinchak music. Sigh*
