Just thought about you a few days back. Neighbour's wife had given birth to a child and we went to the hospital to see the baby. The new born was crying while lying in the cradle and the moment the mother took him in her lap, he fell silent. My mind immediately raced to Rajiv who would peek through the window to look at his new born child and when questioned by the chief matron Sukumari, he asks why the child is always clinging to the mother's lap, she replies that the new born feels safe and secure in the lap of it's mother where it almost gets the safe feeling of being inside the womb. After a pause, Rajiv [who never had the feel of his mother] with his eyes still focussed on the child asks sofly "gnaanum inganethanayaanthirkkum alle" and you get to see his face!
A vignette etched in memory! Lal in Dasaratham was outstanding! On the way back was commenting about the same to my wife and told her that we talked about the same in the forum earlier.
