If you look around like this you can’t see the world wider way, darling

fydfrka n,kafk f,dfla olskag fydfrka hkag ys;s,o okafk;a kE

Don’t know whether you are seeking for a way to seek the world, secretly?

So, what are you thinking, seeking for a way to step out of house?

But I feel that you are trying to hiding from someone

Never mind, but, little one, you should think well, before you step out of your house

‘Consciousness’ is not only useful for daughters but also it is equally important for ‘sons’ 

úmrïYS,s  nj fodaKs,g ú;rla fkfuhs mq;d,g;a jeo.;a

You should seek and search only the things ‘useful’, meaningful , alright?

Amma goes out of the house hiding you within her eye lashes

Appachchi  stays little away from home keeping you within his deep mind

wmamÉÑ ãx.la wE;g hkafka fodaKsj ys; m;=f, r|jf.k

So no point trying to be naughty

ta yskaod |. jev lrkag ys;k tl ta ;rïu fyd| keye

You will have to be very good especially when they are away from home

Everyone of this world is not like amma or appachchi , little one

Therefore you should go inside my dear  and don’t forget to close the  door very  tightly

ta yskaod ux ys;kjd fodaKs we;=<g .syska fyd|ska fodr jeyqfjd;a fyd|hs lsh,

And do not try to open it unless you hear the voice of your parents or grand parents

You need to see the world patiently; there is no need to be hurried

It is no good to go walk so faster , my dear

I say so, not that I think you are a burden to this earth, never

Unnecessary speed, obstacles ones journeys to success, little girl

Tfyu Wkdu f.dvla foaj,a u. wefrkj

And you  may miss a lot if you speed your walk unnecessarily

If you slower a bit, you get plenty of chances to see a lot, through your smiling eyes , my dear

You need to come back home, before its dark ok ?

Tfydu .shdg we|srs jefgkag l,sfhka f.or tkag òfk fyd|o

Don’t think of hiding yourself from others, other than trying to face what so ever comes your way, alright

They have captured you from your behind

That is why we can’t see you properly
it is alright things are happening from your behind
you need to proceed with so much strength

There is still a lot more to discover

Where has my little son gone?

Leaving the bicycle – alone

There are rules to follow, though the cycle is too tiny, ok

You can’t park it the way you like

The road belongs to everyone

Though you run here and there in the court yard of ours

This is a public road, my son

Think and work, then all will be happy

The roads are not always straight, my dear

Try to recognize;

There are bents,

Hills and slopes

Roundabouts

And

Junctions too  

You need to take Turns, when necessary

Keeping enough of space for others,

For your fiends,

Walkers

And then take the ‘right turn’

That is important, alright
