Smera always puts in me tough situations, where I am left to wonder
about her innocence and also the fact that if it really exists. What really
triggered this thought is that, for the last few months the little one been demonstrating
her favoritism towards her father more than me.
It’s a known fact that girls are daddy’s pet, I had sort of accepted this and tried to get along with life feeling a little rejected. Nonetheless I had her kisses and hugs as a consolation prize for being the mum, that was the most precious reward that any parent can ask for.

Of late the girl has been shying to give me a kiss or a hug or even
saying I love you mamma. So again the mum in me consoled myself that maybe she is
growing up feels conscious now. However that didn’t seem to be a problem when
it came to showering her affection on the father. What angered me even more was
if I asked her at the same instance to give me a kiss as well, her reply would
be “FINISH”.
Can someone please explain to me how a daughter’s kiss can ever finish
for a mum? Something as precious as that is easily given away to the father
even without being asked for, while I have beg, plead, threaten and what not!
Feeling jealous I wonder what is that her father does that I do not do. I cook,
clean, bathe, feed, take her to school, bring her back, buy nice clothes, and
entertain her. The dad just has to come back from work pick her and there he
gets the prize.
This brings me back to the question I started with how innocent is Smera?
This one question has been troubling for over a week, and the answer to the
question lies with Mr Sahir Ludhianvi. But he is dead now. Long before my
vocabulary skills were even developed he left earth for a place in heaven. I
wish if I am somehow granted just 5 minutes of interaction with him to get
answer to my question from the man himself who wrote the song, “Bacche mann ke
sacche” means kids are pure at heart.
Really? I think not. Atleast mine is not that innocent, she is an
extremely clever child who knows that if she pleases her dad she would be
rewarded with the iPad to play with.
