Something about Maya

Have to write them down before I forget.

One month ago, when Pappa was in Ireland, Maya, while dreaming, said aloud and clearly, "I want to be the first!" She's competitive, no doubt, and she's pretty tough. Kelly, one of Maya's teachers, once told me that Maya was the only one who had never cried in the school.

Several weeks ago, at Swati's baby shower in a tea room in the city, a tea leaf reader, an old woman with an British accent, said to me, without knowing much about Maya,"You daughter is very strong-willed. Try not to get into direct confrontation with her. Reason with her and guide her."
