Vinola had just given the babe his bath. Had fed after it.As the routine would have it he must be put to sleep. She made her usual preparations and put him in the pram and started rocking gently.
He signified with his look and hand movement thats not he wanted and he saw to it he was understood.She lifted him from the pram and gently moved in to the room put him on his bed and wrapped him with athin Datta,( a cloth to use when carrying ababe).He was put on the bed,and she lay next to him.He turned as if to sleep,and she thought she has achieved something.Leave a babe with awrap and the babe would go to sleep. She was pensive,musing over her work with appreciation,the babe turned to her with a broad,unique smile that made the light move with in.
She understood,the babe's sleep is his choice and none need to force and take credit for it.The smile added new energy and joy.Everything appeared drenched in joy.
