Ajab Si Adaayein

This OS was something I visualized as I was returning home and listening to the song, and thought to write it as a vignette, essentially. They are SatyabhamaShyam in the modern world, and if you want, I can make this a series of OS'.

*******

Maadhavi was sweating in the sultry heat of the Sun. She was in an auto, exasperated at the slow moving traffic. She was on her way back home after a grueling dance class, lasting about three hours. She needed a long shower, despite having taken a quick one at dance class and changing into brand new clothes. The Sun made it even harder, as she gently wiped the sweat away from her neck. She fiddled with her phone, choosing a random romantic song, sighing softly. Every song reminded her of her Krishna, as always.

As the song she was listening to neared its end, she peered out of the auto, her eyes landing on the car next to her. Her breath caught in her throat when her eyes met dark chocolate brown ones, which also widened the smallest amount in response to her. She could feel her heart flutter in her chest, and a shiver run down her spine. Those eyes, she knew those eyes.

Aankhon mein teri, ajab si ajab si adaayein hai

Indeed there was something so stunningly graceful about his eyes, about his gaze. It was all penetrating, yet very gentle and questioning, as if needing her acceptance to just gaze. She blushed at the hope in his eyes, and prayed her answer got translated to him.

Dil ko banade jo patang saasein yeh teri woh hawaayein hai

He had gotten her acceptance, for his gaze was on her, unwavering, making her turn redder than the tomato that she loved eating often. She knew she too was staring, but she was not even able to stop herself.

There, in the middle of a typical Chennai traffic, as the vehicles moved inch by inch, Maadhavi had found the one who made her heart breath new lives, somehow.

Aankhon mein teri, ajab si ajab si adaayein hai

Maadhavi wondered what he was thinking, and when she got so shameless with staring at a guy. That thought alone pulled her back and she looked down shyly, though her eyes sprung back to the man in passenger seat, whose eyes had not moved an inch from her, clearly.

***

Aai aisi raat hai joh bahut khushnaseeb hai

chaahe jisse dur se suniya vo mere khareeb hai

While it was not night, the day was heading there. Dusk was fast approaching, and this was when Shyam had spotted the young woman in the auto. He had first glanced at her because he could feel the familiarity. But when she too turned to look at him, as if in a synchronized set of events, Shyam had frozen. Those eyes were filled with warmth, forgiveness and acceptance, and they reminded him of the eyes which lived in his dreams and memories. He could not even move his eyes, nor did he want to.

To him, she was the one who would be wanted by people even without her knowledge, her radiance told him as much. But here she was, in the vehicle next to his. He ignored his smirking elder brother, and just allowed his hidden romantic to take over, observing every little action of hers.

Kitna kuch kehna hai phir bhi hai dil mein sawaal kahi

Sapno mein joh roz kaha hai woh phirse kahun yaa nahi

His heart was thrumming with a melodious sound created by the contact of their eyes, Shyam felt. He could not bear to look away. He smiled softly when she did, her round cheeks red, a blush that spread at least up to her neck. Her eyes again peered at him, causing his heart to now sing happily. He tried to silence it, but he was used to accepting life as it happened, so he settled, allowing the course of Destiny to dictate the happenings.

Aankhon mein teri ajab si ajab si adaayein hai

***

Tere saath saath aisa koi noor aaya hai

He had become the light that shone magnificently as the sun approached the West. Maadhavi could not believe she was still caught in traffic, and still gazing at the same man. His eyes felt like her Krishna's, his smile too felt familiar, and the gentle warmth he spread touched her very soul, making her smile in response, a radiant smile at the joy his warmth spread within.

chand teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai

Shyam knew that not even the romance of the moonlight could touch the splendid nature of the light her heart radiated. The purity of her showed on her beautiful face, which had a gentle yet obvious jawline, framing a round face like the moon, lotus petal eyes, red lips, and skin that seemed to be both golden and dusky at the same time. His eyes though were drawn repeatedly to her light coloured orbs, which reflected the Sun to him. Yet the depth in them felt like his own Soul.

teri nazaron ne dil ka kiya jo hashar asar yeh hua

ab in mein bhi doob ke ho jaon paar yahi hai hua

Maadhavi and Shyam both jerked when they realized the traffic had started moving. It felt as if the traffic had stopped miraculously so that they could see each other, and now that it had happened, there was sudden movement. But she was not ready to let go. Maadhavi wanted to drown herself in his eyes, and she prayed under her breath, "Krishna, may we unite soon."

Shyam, on the other hand, was feeling his heart beat a little off track, as if not wanting to separate and yet having to. He gazed at her, trying to take her in to the maximum he could, as both the vehicles started to speed. He knew they would meet again soon, he just knew. Till then, he could wait.

"Mahadeva, may my meeting her again happen soon."

The two hearts, which had recognized each other that day, were parted by the movement of life and time; but both souls, which had been exchanged by the medium of two pairs of eyes, awaited eagerly for the day where they could converse freely once more.

******

This is probably the first song fic I have written entirely, and that I posted as well. It has a special place in my heart.

I do have more song fics coming, especially for modern reincarnations, of a wide variety of pairs.

My story of parenting

1

The term ‘parenting’ was new to me 11 years back when I had my first baby boy Parthiv. I just started living with him. I did everything I experienced and saw in my family. We watched cartoons together. We played hide and seek. We slept together. We listened to music on my mobile. He was my baby love. When he is 2 years old, keeping his social skills in our mind we found a wonderful place called Budding Minds International Playschool for him. Once we enter there it was a new beginning for both of us. I too started socializing for the first time in the last 4 years in Chennai. Of course, language was the villain there. Slowly I started conversing in public and making parental friends. The most interesting and surprising thing was attending an early childhood workshop of Ashok uncle which left behind so much new vocabulary related to the developmental phases of a child. Fine motor skills, neuron connections, overall development, skills, etc. I was fascinated by the science introduced there as I could connect everything in my two-year experience of motherhood with my son. I tried following most of the suggestions given by aunties there. And I believed I was doing a decent job as a parent. Even I stopped my normal TV time for him as I was the only 24X7 parent with him. Instead, I read for him. And I could see when he was 5, he became a voracious reader and I became his proud mom. But still on the move because of my priority and life in a flat, I couldn’t give any input into his social skills. I could manage him very easily as he is not a hyperactive smart child running through the corridors of the hospital during a doctor visit. He will be sitting patiently while the other children make a move all the time. As he was very silent and attentive in class, all his teachers were happy with him and they haven’t given any focus areas for him. When he was in grade 2, I could see he need to socialize more, he needs to be physically active. I started trying that but it was so difficult as he was in his comfort zone of reading books all the time. Being my first child, he was always my Guinea pig. Experimenting and learning from my mistakes was what I always did for him. Even though he had a gentlemanly image everywhere, I was worried about his physical and social activities. I tried many sports for him, and different skill bases classes for him but what I could see was a slight change in this area. What I wanted was his natural interest in doing things. Finally, I stopped worrying about his areas of improvement and started believing that every child is unique.

2

We stepped into my second motherhood when he was 4 years. This time I was more confident that I know the science of parenting and things which worked for him and what not worked for him. Pavithra the little bundle of joy brought more color to our family. I thoroughly enjoyed my motherhood. I focused on all the vocabulary related to parenting which I learned from the beginning. She became an independent child when she was 2 just before going to her play school. She was active and loved dance and songs. As Parthiv was a soft child there was no fight or conflict between them. It was easily manageable. She was talkative social and physically active from a very small age. Then I realized how important is the ambience for a child in their initial stages of development. I realigned my parenting views from experience. Before Pavithra was born, parenting was a little conscious effort for me. After that, I could relate their behavior according to scientific terms but I had no luxury of time to deal with it scientifically. I left them to grow with the flow. Correcting them on any specific behavior or attitude was the only thing I was focusing on.

3

They started growing together. They played together. I just monitored. My life, after Pavithra turned 2 , was much easy. All my physical and mental health resumed back. During the lockdown they both were busy with their world. No fights or conflicts. The only thing was small complaints which I left unattended which made them solve themselves. When they grew up a little more, their interests changed. Still, they managed to survive as no other friends were available for them during the lockdown. Both of them were different and unique in their way. They were independent as I started working and I was busy unlike before. They did activities themselves. I could see the change in their interests and skills if parental involvement is very less. Even if it is origami or any other activity, trying themselves may not make it perfect, but the skills they attain are incomparable. That was a great lesson I learned in my second motherhood.  As they grow, small disagreements started popping out between them. I understand it as they started growing and developing in the right way. The taste of a toddler and a child should be different by theory. We should be worried only if they have no disagreements. I would like to refer to my cousin’s greatest quote. When it is one child, we can say about sweet parenting. If it is more than 1, we are referees.  Diplomatically attending to their conflicts is a parenting skill. They both should feel separate that mama is listening to them and empathizing and appreciating them for their good behavior. That skill will come only when we start dealing with it.

4

Everything was very sweet and smooth until I was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. I had to undergo 6-month of treatment. Our whole life changed upside down. I never imagined or trained my children to deal with my absence. I believed that monitoring and guidance are always needed for them. I never believed before that Pavithra can sleep without me. I suddenly became a depressed parent. I thought all the qualities and values I imparted will be lost or will not be followed. But I could see they were adapting to my absence very easily. The independency they attained earlier helped them to manage their daily chores easily and it made the caretaker’s job easy. I was happy in that way. Also, when they started getting more comfortable, I could see they stopped doing many things which they did before. They slowly started changing. It was the toughest phase of my treatment life. I started explaining and tried convincing my parenting needs to their caretakers. But I understood that it was a pressure on them. They were showing their love by giving more comfort to them. Finally, I decided to stop worrying about my parenting. The greatest lesson I learned here is that a worried parent is a villain to the surrounding. I waited patiently. Slowly I realized that only my parental expectations got damaged. They were growing and developing in the ambiance. So many new skills which were not on my parenting list got added. I regrated worrying about my parenting. I learned again that we should just go with the flow. Monitor them. Guide them whenever needed. In these 11 years, I turned from an ignorant parent to a focused parent to a worried parent to a  Carefree parent. The transition involved many learnings and my own experience. I understand that every parent should have a unique parenting story like me. You should not compare it with others’ parenting. What you can get are some tips or techniques to tackle any specific issue. If we can see them without any parenting expectations, you won. You are the best parent. Then they are the best children! Embrace their uniqueness. Balancing their uniqueness and your expectation is the secret of best parenting.

I made many parenting mistakes with my children. But now I understand that parenting is an ocean. Understanding your mistakes is the milestone in your life as a parent. I will learn more and more when they grow and go through their different phases. I guess Parthiv is a scientist child and Pavithra is an artist child. It may change on the go. For the same reason, their needs are different. I am proud that I never compared them for anything. I corrected them when they compare themselves and worry. Nurturing and encouraging their skills is the only thing we should do. Without their interest imparting any specific skill will be a pressure for both the parent and the child. Another learning from my parenting experience. Conditional parenting doesn’t work most of the time.

Yesterday’s parents are preparing today’s children for tomorrow. This a beautiful parenting quote I have read recently. Keeping this statement in our parenting is very critical. Make a beautiful bond with them and paste it with love and trust. I don’t know, how it is to me now. But I want to taste the flavored bond with my children. I am blessed to have them in my life.

February 2023 Mix: Rahman Magic Orchestra

February 2023: 2 of 12 mixtapes connecting the music of my childhood (Tamil pop) and the music that influenced me (sinophone indie) to the music of my new home (The Netherlands). This month: A.R.Rahman to Das Wettbüro, via Nazia Hassan and Agnès Gayraud's theory pop. Also: Themes for Great Cities.

Tracklist: A.R. Rahman - Chandralekha (from Thiruda Thiruda, 1993) Yellow Magic Orchestra - キュー "Cue" (1981) Nation of Language - Wounds of Love (2021) Nazia Hassan - Telephone Pyaar (1987) Julia Holter - Everytime Boots (2015) 亲爱的艾洛伊丝 Dear Eloise - 她的歌 "Song for Her" (2012) Yuvan Shankar Raja - Jalsa (from Chennai 600028, 2007) La Féline - Dancing (2022) Folie 2 - SG Suprasound (2022) A.R. Rahman - Kannum Kannum (from Thiruda Thiruda, 1993) Das Wettbüro - Ungerade 19/36 (2022)

Notes:

A.R. Rahman - Chandralekha (from Thiruda Thiruda, 1993) A.R. Rahman - Kannum Kannum (from Thiruda Thiruda, 1993)

'Thiruda Thiruda' was the first music album I remember being impressed by, and some of the earliest music I remember acknowledging as good. I've never seen the film the music was written for.

Yellow Magic Orchestra - キュー "Cue" (1981)

For me, YMO was the band (after Linkin Park) that only access to the internet made visible. For me as a (not upper class) teen in India, there was no local circuit of record shops or alternative radio where I'd pick up on something like YMO. Early dial-up and Napster changed that.

Nation of Language - Wounds of Love (2021) The most important concerts I saw in 2022 were Nation of Language in Amsterdam, and Nation of Language in Iceland.

Nazia Hassan - Telephone Pyaar (1987) I was too young for the "indipop" wave of the 90s but, like Japanese city pop, its the stylistic predecessors of the buzzword that deserve wider recognition, like the extended discography of Nazia Hassan or the work that labels like Naya Beat and Discostan are doing.

Julia Holter - Everytime Boots (2015) I was part of the team that toured Julia Holter in China in 2015, and I was the band's local tour handler in Beijing. The group left a huge impression on me - one of my fondest memories of Beijing is the band singing acapella on the Great Wall under a crisp, blue-skied Beijing winter day. I like to think i left an impression on them as well....Julia did tweet about me once 😳

亲爱的艾洛伊丝 Dear Eloise - 她的歌 "Song for Her" (2012) For two years, I made the daily playlists at Jing-A's bars in Beijing and the only time I've seen someone break down in joy at a song coming on is when this Dear Eloise song played at midnight on a Saturday. Yuvan Shankar Raja - Jalsa (from Chennai 600028, 2007) This song lent its name to my brother's extremely-popular blog, and was really of an era when I learned that the power of the early Internet was its uncanny ability to take the cringe errata of our pop culture and turn them into lasting friendships.

La Féline - Dancing (2022) I love this song so much. I also love that La Feline is the musical project of Agnes Gayraud, a theorist whose Dialectics of Pop is one of my favourite music books. Folie 2 - SG Suprasound (2022) Das Wettbüro - Ungerade 19/36 (2022)

Two extraordinary albums discovered on a recent trip to Dusseldorf, courtesy of local labels Themes for Great Cities and Candomble.

Thanks for listening!
