V's birthday today. I went alone to meet her. I returned and was talking to my mother who had forgotten to wish her. Anu suddenly started sobbing. I asked her why. She said,"Oh, I had forgotten it was Chikkamma's birthday! I would've come with you to her house!" Then she called her Chikkamma and repeated it and they had some lengthy conversation and Anu seems to be feeling better now.
Anu is all sentimental these days. I mean, she wasn't until last year. Now she wants to talk to her Ajji everyday, she uses the quilt my mother made because it reminds her of Ajji. In the past she's been ruthless about giving away her old dresses but recently I asked her about the silk dress my mother had stitched for her and she pouted her and said, "Let it be, I want it". She's growing really tall and I said it wouldn't fit. She said no, she couldn't part with it because it was Ajji's gift for her.
I bought a dress for V from Bandhej. I've always wanted to buy one but had never dared till now. But it was so much easier to buy one for V; I didn't even look at the price tag and it just felt so good!
