Biography 25: I use to avoid those houses

In those days, I was living with my family in Kamalapur at my grandparent's (Paternal) house. I used to play the whole day outside in dust. My feet, from the toes to the knee, were always covered with dust. After reaching home, I had to wash my feet first. I knew older people (Adults) didn't like me. I could feel it from their face. they didn't want me to enter their house to make their floor or house dirty. So, if I see a nice tidy home, I didn't enter there. I just keep playing in front of the house in my neighbourhood. I am sure they didn't like that either. But I can't stop hopping around and play in my neighbourhood.

Still, if I feel someone is ignoring me or avoiding me, I try my best to stay from them. With some people it's difficult. But I keep trying, maybe someday I will be able to vanish from their life forever.

My son became tired running with me everywhere

Shafeen, here he was 2 years and 4 months old

Usually wherever I go, I took my son with me. So he had to give me company (who else will) in shop, bank, and other office everywhere. Now he has grown up a bit (4 years and 8 months old) and learns to make his own choice. So, he has given me some freedom. He said you can go to those places alone, where they don’t have any space to play, just send me to my grandmothers (maternal) house first. Good for me too. At least now he doesn't have to be tired by running with me without any reason. And I also don’t have to keep busy one part of my brain by thinking is it his feeding time, need to go to toilet, have to keep extra dress, water, food (sometimes), keep an eye on him that he don’t go other place by himself or touch any important thing, is he comfortable etc.
