Ain't he adorable?

Calvin! The cutest kid ever :) I guess I can never get enough of him, no matter how much I keep collecting his stickers. Well, although the Calvin comics are referred to as sardonic, I seem to differ. I feel that he's extremely cute, albeit smart for a 6 year old, and completely adorable. Yup.....6 year old; look at the 1st strip here n you'll se why :)
And then there are these cute statements that he makes so often; one which I almost cherish, "You don't get to be mom if you can't fix everything just right!" Haha.....he said this to Hobbes once, when he was in a fix.....n I promise, I could go on and on......with Calvin n Hobbes (his cute stuffed tiger). Some other features of C&H which gets me into fits of laughter are his Get Rid Of Slimy GirlS club (main target Susie Derkins), his snowman games, his reactions to food (see the 2nd strip above), the completely crazy games of Calvin Ball, and his cute interactions with Susie Derkins.
Some sources say that Watterson portrayed the French theologist John Calvin in the form of our little buddy......dunno.....but yup Calvin's cute questions on the existence of God and then his immediate fear that he might have offended Him do insist on his belief in Him; but hey, aren't we going too far in interpreting that in some complex philosophical light? He's a kid, and his concerns are so innocent, wonder how we can't see that clear!
Whatever......Ilove Calvin.......n he's simply a very cute, witty, naughty, n really curious little kid to me :)
I pray Mr. Watterson.....please resume your Calvin creations. That's why you must've been sent to this world. Please, please come back :)

& my WORLD waits for me.....

Before today, I was continuously slipping the fact that I had come to the world due to just two people.....well not quite so alone (as someone hath said); but as far as my life's concerned, it has almost entirely been endowed with selfless blessings/wishes, sound guidance, and abundant friendship (be it from my little brother, my schoolmates, or my parents).

Recently, my dear baba had a pulmonary crisis. According to the ABG and lung capacity tests, only 22% of his lungs is functional, with a CO2 level of 46 (the upper-limit being 45) and O2 levelof 65, instead of 95+. But take a look at this gem of a man and he's oozing optimism, tons of love for ma, bhai, & me, and sincerity toward his people (that includes practically everybody that is alive). He's asmile always; never complaining about anything, and mentally so active, that if he's exhausted his to-do list for the time being, he'll be planning some pranks to pester ma :) That' s baba - completely adorable & oh such a kid!

Today while returning to Ahmedabad, I felt as if baba wanted me to stay back for a wee bit longer; to play and react to his pranks, listen to his little friendly pep talks (that are always so alive that I am never tired of hearing), play a game of ludo with him and fight like kids over who eats up whose pawns, or just pamper him with a few tingly strokes on his back to lull him of to a sweet siesta. I wanted to stay too, but I had to leave - have "miles to go" - before I can huddle back to him and stick by him forever.
