कधी कधी एका आजीच्या मनाच्या
एका कोपर्यात काही स्वप्ने घर करून बसतात आणि नातीच्या साठी ती अर्किटेक्ट , इण्टिरिअर डिझाईनर, सुतार, गवंडी आणि शिंपी पण बनते . विशाल सोफे, दिवे आणि पुस्तकांचा दिवाणखाना , थंडीचा रंग बघून लपाछपिकर्णारे पडदे , गुलाबी रजई वाला पलंग , गोड धोड बनवण्यासाठी सर्व सोयीन सकट एक अत्याधुनिक स्वयंपाकघर , आणि मजेत, लुकलुकणार्या क्रिसमस ट्री च्या दिव्यात एका सुंदर जेवणघरात कुटुंबाबरोबर घेतलेला मेजवानीचा आस्वाद . कुठेतरी हळूच बाळाच्या आगमनाची स्वप्ने बघून तयार होणारी त्याची नर्सरीची खोली, आणि सुंदर सुंदर खेळ आणि कपड्यांनी भविष्यात भरणारी इवलीशी कपाटे . आणि मग कुणा एका हुशार बाळाला आजीच्या मनाचा सुगावा लागतो, तो हळूच दार उघडून आाजीच्या मनात जावून बसतो , आणि म्हणतो, "ताई ग , हे तुझे घर , आणि आजिच्या मनात , माझे घर !"… |
Sometimes, deep in the recesses of a grandmotherial mind, grows a dollhouse plan for a golden granddaughter, and she gleefully flits between being an architect a designer, a mason, a carpenter and a furbisher. Wide comfy sofas, a well lit living space with great bookcases, tailored curtains fluttering at the window, and a pink comforter resting on a pink bed in a pink room; a modern swish kitchen and a twinkling Christmas tree winking at a spiffy dining table, laden with yummy stuff... A baby's nursery getting its final touches, with cupboards waiting for toys, and just then the littlest baby, crawls up to the house, pushes open the main door, and goes straight in to sit straight into the delighted grandmotherial mind, saying, " Sis, enjoy your house; as for me, I am at grandma's .... :-) ...
