chiku sahasranamam

Chiku takes a while to go to sleep. We try several options and one of them with a reasonable amount of success is to wrap him around in a soft fleece blanket which also covers his head and keep walking and reciting sahasranamam. No, not the god's thousand names, but the thousand and odd names that we call chiku. It comes out like a waterfall (madai thiranda vellam pol!) and each time it is different.
To give some idea it goes something like this;

"Kutty kutty paapu, chella chella pappu
Pattu pattu paapu, chinna chinna pappu"

This is usually standard and frozen.
The next part has some variations:

"Chinna kutty pappu, chella kutty pappu
pattu kutty pappu, kutty pattu pappu"

You will see that many permutations and combinations of these words are possible, so that many variations in the sahasranama recitation are chanted.

Then some more endearing name combinations come up

"Bablu bablu kutty, chinna bably pappu
Enga kutty kanna, chella kutty kanna"

Then all is let loose

"daglu daglu pappu, chiblu chiblu pappu
Tinkulu punkulu pappu, pattu pattu pappu"

Recently saw a movie review where the reviewer says there is actually a song in a movie which goes a b c d ... all the way to z and not stopping there keeps coming back for repeat after repeat of all the alphabets in a boring sing song way.

So I picked it up from there and it goes like

"abcd chikku, dfgh chikku, ijkl chikku"

Then there is the total original words and phrases like the lyrics in  harris jayaraj songs

"
Chinchinchu punchilu pappu, karuppu kuruppu pappu
Papputu jipputu pappu, kapu kutty pappu"

Then the baby is not showing any signs of obliging by having a shut eye, I get a little desperate and try this

"Aaaaa aaaa oooo eeee aiyi,  ammmammm meemee
Kuuuuu kaaaa keee kai , kooo kow kam kaha"

This has endless combinations and we go on and on in the sing song way up to easily a 900

Only the last  100 and odd  can be easily notched up. The baby is not sleeping anyway so I can complete the rest of the recitation quickly.

"Yaaru kutty, thol kutty, pattu kutty, pattamma kutty
Tel kutty, pammu kutty, rahala master , bablu master
Aa amma aa ammma, ee amma e amma, oo amma o amma"

We have a sahasranam variation everyday, like thought for the day, it flows nonstop!

No, the baby has not slept yet!
