Aarohi in the Becoming of Agent Aaro
Aarohi, it took me so long to meet
the tiger inside me.
It took me so long to let the sparrow inside me go.
Now that I can sing out like a thunderstorm,
I hope that you can hear
the determination you come from;
I hope you know that you are not a limitation.
You are the fearless agent prowling in the shadows.
You are the mission that no one can compromise.
What I mean is this: I believe you.
If you were uncertain, I would let you discover.
Aarohi, I will train and
protect and empower, until you find your codename.
Nayu watches as you study stars,
maps unfolding beneath tiny fingers.
Aashu teaches you to decode messages
hidden in ordinary conversations.
Together we prepare you for a world
that needs heroes who speak in whispers
and solve puzzles others can't see.
Agent Aaro, your smile is your secret weapon.
Your cooing, a frequency only allies recognise.
When you crawl across the living room floor,
we see you mapping escape routes,
calculating angles of surveillance,
preparing for missions that will change lives.
Your bedtime stories are dossiers,
your toys are training devices,
your crib is headquarters for operations
too important to name.
Aarohi, become Agent Aaro
not because we command it,
but because the world needs
the extraordinary agent you already are.
The one who brings light to darkness,
the one whose laughter disarms threats,
the one whose compassion is her greatest strength.
This is your inheritance:
courage from your father,
wisdom from your mother,
blessings from grandparents who see your future unfold
like a map of stars they've always known,
their stories and strength flowing through your veins,
and a mission that is yours alone to discover.
