On a business trip from the US to his TCS office in Chennai/Bangalore our son Ravi made an overnight visit to Mysore, to share with us the latest photo of Nikhil and Sidharth.I know, this isn't reason enough for his trip, in an era when you can send online images in a jiffy.But then does he need a reason to visit us, however brief the trip?
Ravi wanted to look up his
patti, whom he hadn't met for over two years. And she was equally pleased to see her grandson; even 'tipped' him when he sought her blessings. In his childhood it was customary for Ravi and other children in our family circle to prostrate before elders in anticipation of a cash reward. For his
patti Ravi still remains a child who has to be rewarded when he offers his
namaskarram.
Out of an 18-hour stay in Mysore,he got a much-needed sleep for nine hours;spent an hour or so on his computer and work-related calls, and nearly two hours on social visits.
Ravi couldn't spare more than six hours for the family.And his
patti felt flattered that her grandson had made it a point to visit her even in the midst of his tight schedule. She wanted him to bring Meera and the kids along, the next time.Ravi told her they were planning a visit in July.
I took this photo, speciallly for my car-crazy grandson. Sidharth hasn't seen a Dolphin; which has been long out of production.Our grandson was unconvinced when I told we once owned a Dolphin. "No,there is no such car," he said,"dolphin is an animal". And I did not have a picture to refute him. Incidentally, the car in the photo belongs to our family doctor Rajashekarappa.
So do we, Nikhil and Sidharth. This photo, and also the one on top , were taken by a professional at mall. The photographer belonging to a studio in Pleasonton Mall happened to watch Sidharth and Nikhil running around in the play area of the mall; and decided they made ideal models.
