Saugoree means I was born or I hail from Saugor This is the way they spelt the name of that city of my birth during British days of India. Then I moved at 11 years of age to Kotla a village in the Panjab close to the Kashmir border where I finished my initial education and childhood going on to Lahore for further studies where I got BSc and MBBS and then left for NWFP where I spent 2 1/2 years, teaching in the new Medical School, and from there leaving for UK and then USA

Sunday Surkhi--Different
Musa (my nawasa), now 2 & 1/2 yr old expressing himself boldly needs to be talked about more, as the only "surkhi" these days is Elections.
he was standing in front of the open fridge and looking at a Juice bottle that he was not familiar with as he is usually given apple juice or orange juice. His "ammi" was next to him and trying to keep that juice away from him (Prune Juice) .
Realizing that he demands "I want that juice Ammi".
"No, you dont drink that one, it is not good for you"
"I want it because it is diffferrent". You would love to hear that the way he says it
He was out all day with his father today and on coming back home declares to his mother
"Mama! I went hiking today with baba"
Masha-Allah his vocabulary and ease with which he delivers his sentences is so enjoyable.
The bubbliness of his cousin Issa who is only two months younger is the other enjoyable part. He has started talking now and his vocabulary is going to catch up but he is more "Urdu" oriented. He would show his excitement physically and verbally when he will see or hear the voice of his Dadi or Dada, "Dadi!!! Dadi!!!" or "Dada!! dada!!!" and will not hide his excitement He tends to speak more Urdu words than English. and freely mixes them at his own convenience. So you have to be attentive when he speaks.
I dont know what is the excitement he is pointing to his cousin in that picture but it depicts their closeness and friendliness so clearly and I love it, dont mind sharing with all of you.
White beard,pleasant to talk to, but extremely hard of hearing (Hearing aid + Cochlear Implant)See limitation in the "interests"
