 Dearest Neer,

I am writing after long time. I checked the blog and found i had written small note on Oct 2022. It's been around 18 months that I am writing down something when  I am in Greader Noida now. I had shifted to Gr. Noida in Sep 2023 as I changed my job from Daikin Neemrana to LG. We all had good time during 2023 in Neemrana and your schooling was going as usual but i was quite fond of taking photos of yours whenever I visited Parle school during PTM. I kept posing those photos on instagram. You always have been a happy child. In neemrana we had very good & spacious society where you enjoyed cycling and rolling scooter a lot. Almost every evening we walked around the society, you played in park. You had so much love for playing with sand & dirt of the park. We had purchased skates from Decathalon Dehradun but you were afraid to ride on them. I tried to push you but you didnt agree to take skates to the society roads. You tried skates couple of times in the corridor of our third floor. (Tower-A, 307, Eldeco eden park).

July 2023, I was on business trip to Saudi and had brought you some toys. A small metal car of white colour, one aeroplane and one dancing robot. You liked all of them but when I am writing this, I occasionally see your plane which has missing parts and you still play with this. I can see your robot toy sometimes in the tub which has been dedicated to store your all toys. You are so interested in science content that you always prefer to watch science videos and you are watching it since you were 3 years. To my surprise, you demanded a book titled "periodic table" in march 2024. I had bought for you and you liked it. You take help of your mom to understand the various elements and their properties. One day, recently, you had explained me the properties and usage of uranium. 

Since sep 2023, I had been so much busy and travelling to Pheena so frequently that I had severe back pain in Dec'23. I took physiotherapy and I got some relief but in Apr 24, this pain shifted to my right leg. It seemed the pain was due to compression of nerves. I took treatment again in May from Yatharth hospital. Now I am better but pain is still there but manageable. I am doing stretching exercise daily morning and evening to keep this pain under control.

We are staying now in ATS dolce society and you adjusted so well. I never heard you saying that you missed neemrana or Parle school or something else which might be connected with Neemrana. If I asked you ever if you were missing Neemrana, you always answered "No". You felt Greater Noida is far better place. You had developed a sense since you were 3 or 4 yrs that you could relate any place to village or city. likeable or not likable. You well related greater Noida to city and likable place.

As you have been watching all the English content on you tube kids, your language has been quite good at such early stage. Although, I also keep talking you in English. You have great penchant for science and technology. One day, you acted like a class teacher and made me and your mom as student. you taught us complete concept of solar/ moon eclipse with the help of globe and light. You gave 15 minutes lecture on this topic in English. Although, we could not understand ! :) 

Again, few days later (March 2024) you acted as teacher and we as students. You gave us "talk lesson". you gave us pen and paper and taught us key points. Then you asked us to write all the points and then you evaluated :) us and we got A+.

Recently, you reminded us about talk lesson in anger when you were talking to me. Little later, you saying something to me but I didn't paid any attention to you and started talking to your mom. "मैंने आप को talk lesson दिया था।  जब बात कर रहे होते हैं तो बीच में नहीं बोलते । "

Recently, you have been saying "I am a scientist" and you forced me to buy a book "Periodic table". You have shown good ineptest in this book since i bought it for you. you have learnt some materials name and their properties. I remember one incident from last month that you asked me why there is bulge stone on our floor just at the edge of lift entry. I said- "you are scientist. Think! what is the reason?" You replied instantly and it was so funny - "I am not that clever scientist."

I never knew that you assumed me as the person who knows everything. Once you asked me "papa, how does lift work?" when i was with you in lift. I was in hurry. I just said I dont know. You said- " you are engineer". I said- "I am AC engineer". you were disappointed. you complained to your mom -"पापा इंजीनियर हैं और पापा को लिफ्ट के बारे में भी नहीं पता "
