A moment to cherish

On the new year eve, we had a get together at the apartments where I stay. They asked me to play something on the keyboard and i got started. When i was abt midway through, six year Arvind rushed towards me, peered at my keyboard for a moment. He then pressed the last note on the keyboard, and asked me 'Uncle, what is this ?' . I was not prepared for this. Anyone who plays an instrument would agree that it's hard to talk while playing an instrument.(unless you talk in beat, meaning you sing:) Actually talking while you play is kinda harder for those who play wind instruments:) So i quickly blurted out 'two minutes' ! He seemed to understand; he ran away. Sure enough, he was back in a minute (children count faster than adults:) This time he said with full enthu ' Uncle, see my new cap !'. I smiled, quickly finished playing, and rushed off to examine his new cap. Man, such enthusism and a sense of wonder! Wonder why it decays exponentially with time for most of us !!!
