Two-year old Jayalakshmi is the daughter of Chitra, who took care of my mother at Pollachi during our recent US trip - June-Sept. 2009. We had shifted my mother from Mysore to Pollachi, where she owns a house. Leaving her alone in Mysore during our absence was not an option. We opted for Pollachi on assurance by Chitra that she would take care of my mother on 24x7 basis.
Bringing up her two-year old Jayalakshmi was challenge enough for Chitra. And now she had on her hand a 90-year old woman as well, and two cats to take care of. The cats, thriving on left-overs, always hovered around the kitchen door. Keeping those cats away from slipping into the kitchen in an unguarded moment added to Chitra's concerns.
When she is not crying for something or upto some mischief, Jayalakshmi was fun to be with, and apparently a source of cheer for my mother, whose great-grandchild Nikhil is of the same age. We happened to bring with us some clothes and things that Nikhil no longer used. Jayalakshmi wearing Nikhil's outfit looks a bit of a tomboy, doesn't she ?
Chitra said her daughter loved the pair of Nikhil's shoes Meera had sent so much that she refused to take them off even when she went to bed at night.
