Children grow up so fast


My Thakurma gang. There’s Mishti aged three, Sia -5 clinging on to Purva 11 and Tulsi 9. Missing are the toddlers Choudhary sahib 13 months and Anvi a few days older. So you can imagine the amount of noise and energy we generate. Now they have all grown a little bigger, but still young enough to remain firm friends. Purva has joined a boarding school and the two little ones have also begun school! It’s another matter that they spend more time in the bath room, but that is also a training of sorts. Abir loves being the Hanuman turning all cushions into sanjivni booti and Ball doll is big enough to wander off on her own and ask penetrating questions like 'Thaku Maa aapki mamma kahan hai?'

Mishti in her Christmas best. This tiny one came and commanded 'no Thaku Daa no biting nails'. An old friend was amazed at her confidence.

Choudhary Saheb decided to dress up in his sister's fancy frocks. He looked like a cross dresser.
