Why are babies awake in night? - An analysis

Madhan was sharing about Vikas and that he was awake in the night. Nothing new, but it’s a common complaint from all parents (especially dads). I and Madhan got into research mode why is this happening to all kids. Our first level research revealed this:

FINDING-1: Kids are born in US time zone!

Why?

FINDING-2: God belongs to US time zone!

May not be!

But kids in US too are awake in their nights!

FINDING-3: God creates children for opposite time-zones

At the receiving end

When Diya was in Bangalore, she had atleast 3 phone devices (all faulty) to play with. She would scream ‘haal’ (read Hello) and imitate busy conversation and walk from one end to another. It became a routine that I stopped paying attention to that.

 

When I called in-laws place, Meena picked. She was holding Diya. Diya, as usual, wanted the phone to talk. Diya got the receiver and started babbling. I talked to her with affection pouring; she responded with phone reversed and talking on her own. Her voice, her speech sounded very significant to me having been away for more than two weeks. Another two weeks to go.
