People in general are very much attracted to babies and many of
us don’t hesitate to approach the parents to have a close look at their cutie pies. New mothers usually have hell lot of
confusions and whenever they see a woman holding a baby they would never
hesitate to approach her and discuss about their confusions. One day my wife took Jia to a nearby park. I
think Jia was into her 4th month that time. The park is usually
crowded with Parents/Grandparent and their little angels during the early
evening. One elderly lady was holding a cute baby and as soon as she
encountered Anjali, she approached her to have a look at Jia.
Now there was a little problem as the elderly lady spoke in
Kannada. Although Anjali doesn't understand Kannada, except for a few words but
sometimes she pretend that she know Kannada very well. Specially while dealing with any auto driver she
would behave like that. For example if she needs to ask any auto driver whether he
would go to JP Nagar?, she would ask something like this “Eddu… JP Nagara?“ Few times
I have noticed some kind of secret smile on the driver’s face.
Now the elderly lady asked Anjali something and Anjali didn't have any idea what she asked? She simply replied “Eddu… 4 months aaa” The lady was not satisfied with her reply and again she started to ask something in Kannada. Now Anjali was not in any mood to
say “Sorry. I don’t know Kannada; can you please speak in Hindi or English?”
She tried her best to convince the old lady and the drama continued for a while. Finally the poor lady realized that it would not work out like
that and all of a sudden she pulled down the pajama of the baby she was holding and let Anjali
had a close look at him to let her know that it’s a baby boy. Immediately Anjali realized
what the lady actually asked her? and she replied “Oh! My little one is a baby
girl and we named her Jia”
