Kabir & His Mummy!

                                                                       Kabir

(My grandson Kabir completed six months on 8^th June. He visited us on the occasion with his father and mother. At this stage of life the whole world of the child revolves around its beloved mother. Whenever it is with somebody else, its only effort is to get back to its mother as early as possible. The child keeps smiling. But its response to all other diversions is ultimately aimed in one direction - to be at the safe bosoms of its dear mother!  Our Kabir is no exception to the rule! His typical response and expressions to my actions as I carried him around the house proved it)

Kabir & His Mummy!

I am your Grandfather

I mean your dad’s father

I love you granddad

But where is my Mummy?

She is your grandmother

I mean your dad’s mother

I love my grandma

But where is my Mummy?

This is your uncle

His name is Kiran

I love you uncle

But where is my Mummy?

This is your aunty

Her name is Swathy

I love you aunty

But where is my Mummy?

This is our house garden

See the plants and flowers

They are quite beautiful

But where is my Mummy?

This is our pet dog

His name is Milo

Milo looks very smart

But where is my Mummy?

This is our pet cat

His name is Beera

Beera is so cute

But where is my Mummy?

That is your mother

Her name is Swathi

Oh! My dear mother

I found you at last!
