Day 1.4 – Trick Eye Museum

Row row row your boat and sail away into a fairy land…oh little one….
Free the angels from all shackles and let them fly aloft carefree seeking their own direction and discovery of life
Unwind my darling and cool yourself from all the travails of life, it’s time to relax and enjoy….savor the holidays as you will
I can skate on land, water and air, I have the power of balancing on any surface Dad and Mom….
Hey Don’t let me drown….Sure buddy, hang on tight, I am here to help you and wade you through the water safely
Selfie time with Monalisa….who is the prettiest of them all that can give a natural and mesmerizing smile
Hey Boatman, come here let me teach you how to draw and paint…I am a natural and gifted person, you know
Let’s do some Ballet Dancing, swing the legs, spread your arms and skate on the floor in a smooth and seamless manner
I have heard or riding a horse, donkey or even a buffalo but never a hen or a cock….is this for real….
Mommy be careful and swing along and jump to safety so you don’t fall into the raging volcanic lava and melted by it
That’s a good swing boy, you are doing just fine, just swing it hard and jump your way to safety
Big becomes bigger and Small becomes smaller…it’s all how you perceive it….it’s all in the mind, don’t fall prey to it….stay positive
Ride on attaboy….keep going at it and you will be able to cross the line and become a champion
Chill baby…..amidst the soothing ocean waves, swaying trees and soothing breeze….you need a breather from all the heat you face every day managing us all with patience and perseverance….
at least I can satisfy and fulfil your dream of going on a bike like this, if not in reality….someday will tick that box too….until then….
Game on….bring it on and let’s see who gets to win here….

She – Hey Mr.. Pachyderm…don’t let me down…”E” ok lady…hang on tight and climb your way to the top slowly and steadily….you seem to weight a bit more than look…you know….”She” ouch….that’s deflating really….am I looking fat….”E” I didn’t say that…all I said was you are heavier than you seem to be….”She” oh no….you are telling me that I am fatter than you are….”E” ok….let’s do this now….either you climb up without speaking….or I will let the rope down…your choice….”She” it’s unfair that you are comparing me with you….”E” time to let go of the rope, I don’t know how your husband is managing this on a daily basis….”She”….how dare you say that…..”E”….reality sucks is it not….

I don’t like to do Yoga in reality but love this….you know why I don’t like Yoga….last time I tried it, I used to have severe hunger pangs and eat like crazy after my Yoga training….so am really wary of that….it’s just not for me….
Mommy hold on…I am coming to save you….don’t you disappear into that boxy black hole….I can’t live without you….really sonny boy….I thought you would be happier without me to trouble you or asking you if you completed your studies etc….yes, that’s true but who will cook delicious delectable dishes for me….Dad does not know anything and will give only plain curd rice every day….so you want me only to cook for you and not otherwise….I did not mean that way Mommy darling….I know all of you….useless folks…..

Hey grizzly bear…don’t you dare touch my little boy…find someone else or something to eat….and let us have some fun in the forest….”BB” – you come here to my place and ordering me what I should do….I am going to make a mincemeat out of you….”She” – really, let’s see that…..hey hubby….come and save us from this big bear….”Me”….darling hang on tight overnight….I have come back to town and will arrange some reinforcements to help both of you…..”She”….I know I can never trust you to save me or my son….I will handle it myself…ok bear….let’s make a trade off….if you let us down, I will cook a delicious meal for you….”BB” I heard that you are an awesome cook, let me give it a shot then…that’s a deal…let’s enjoy the meal…..together

She – Hey Sharky….your sharp teeth looks quite terrifying….but I have to say it’s really razor sharp and shiny…how do you manage to keep it that way….”S” Well My Mom beats me to death if I don’t brush my teeth after every single meal and before I go to bed….”She”…Anirud…see how obedient sharky is to it’s Mom….and you don’t listen to me at all, even after I repeat every day to brush your teeth before you go to bed….if you don’t listen now, I will feed you to sharky…”A”….but Mom….why don’t you first take me to some safe place….I am hanging there quite precariously….”She”…promise me that you will brush your teeth three times a day….”A”…..sure, I will do it ten times a day….”S”….why don’t you let him down so that I can gobble him up and you can save your energy of fighting with him…”She” how dare you say that…he is my son and I will not let anyone lay a finger on him….and you want to take a bite of him….you stinking sharky….I have to tell your Mom that you don’t brush or even bathe properly….”S”….ok don’t tell my Mom otherwise she will kill me….you both carry on and I will find someone else…”She”…that’s more like it….nobody dares speak to me with a raised voice…not even my hubby dear….”S”….yeah….I can infer that you are the Queen of the house and there is no King….as in England….

She – Hey kittens take care of my baby boy safely while I go around for shopping…”K” oh dear…when will you be back dearest….after shopping….looks like he will grow into a man of 20 years by the time you return from your shopping fiesta….”She” how dare you say that…that I shop until my last breath…”K” well we have all heard of the great stories that you turn the entire store upside down and see through all the wares before you decide on one item that you want to buy….”She” who told you that…my husband…I am going to kill him…”K” ssshhhh…..that’s a secret….don’t let the cat out of the bag….”She” does not seem to be like that as the whole world knows how I shop and who else knows it better than my beau….

Let us take some nice selfies kittens until my mommy returns from shopping….”K”….either the phone storage will be full with photos or the battery will be drained by the time your Mommy returns from shopping….
Hey Baby….take care of my baby boy….sure thing mommy dear…don’t you worry….I will take care of him….
Hang tight and keep moving until you cross over to safety
It’s rowing time again….be mindful of where you are heading and reach your destination safely and soundly smarty boy
hey bay….lend me the rope and carry me over so that I don’t drown in the flooding…take me to a safe harbor and reach me to my Mom and Dad….else they would be worried what happened to me….they love me so much…you know….”B”…sure I do….
Usher Peace, Love and Harmony Dear Buddha in this traumatized and terrorized world….we need you more than ever now….in a world that’s growing intolerant by the minute….
