Diya, Samarth at Subbu patti's

It was a weekend treat for Diya and her six-month old brother, Sai Samarth, from grand-parents, Baby and Raghu - breakfast at Ramya's, followed by a social call on Subbu patti's place. Diya and Samarth have both sets of grand-parants settled in Mysore. Besides, they have host of other relations in the city. Subbu and I are their 'bonus' grandparents on the maternal side.

At Subbu patti's place they have a super-patti. The kids have special affinity towards Subbu, who knows how to humour them. She drops in at their place atleast twice a week, whenever Diya and Samarth come to Vidyaranyapuram to spend time with their Baby-patti. (I don't know if they call her that, for they have another Baby at their other grandparents' residence in Gokulam).

Her mom Savitha, a bit on the strict side, would like to see Diya doing the right things, properly, particularly when they are visiting someone. And Diya is growing up to be a sociable girl. She is seen in the photo being helped by her mother in taking out a note-book from her bag, so that she can show me how ' A B C D' is written.
And she is good at making conversation. Finding me seated in my customery corner in the living room area, Diya came up me for a chat. She told me she had dosa at Ramya's , and Raghu thatha had gone to get her chochlete or something. We talked about her school, Eurokids, and her three teachers.
While Diya and I were having this little chat her mother Savitha joined in.

Diya, fooling around with her mom's dupatta, entertains her super-patti.

Meanwhile brother Samarth appears quite happy doing his own thing.



But then he won't be left alone, on the floor for long , by his mom and a host of others in the house, who pick him up every now and then for a cuddle.
