आजकल पाँव ज़मीं पर नहीं पड़ते मेरे!

 आजकल पाँव ज़मीं पर नहीं पड़ते मेरे ... Why? Well, the answer requires some explanation. Read on...

A new trend has begun in my home since last couple of days! Whenever my kid sees me, he won't let me go anywhere. The situation becomes so tensed that I feel like I've just been yelled "Freeeeze..." by some cop (as we see in numerous flicks) & anything I do, can be (& will be) taken against law; Piku's law!

I must quote that mostly this comes as a blessing in disguise, because this becomes a perfect opportunity for me to leave any task in hand & delegate that to my beloved wife. This task delegation is always accompanied with a tough-to-suppress-shameless-smirk that gets converted into ear-to-ear-grin as soon as she moves her focus from me.

However, there are certain situations where there is no blessing, and I must use my natural talent to handle the situation. One of such situation is when I've to leave for office & during (or just before) the transition, I get spotted by junior; only option at that time is to sneak past my kiddo. Any slightest mistake can end up in me being yelled "Freeeeze...."

So, religiously following my firm belief in "prevention is better than regret" I must move as quietly as possible and that is why "Aajkal paon zameen par nahi padte mere..." :)
