Priceless!

By now Rukmini knows most of these shlokas by heart. The other day she surprised some guests when she insisted everyone should recite “Brahmaarpanam…” before we start eating. Priceless!

His favourite books right now!

Reciting out shlokas to Dhruva from these books has become sort of a daily ritual. Watching his gaze move from picture to picture as he listens on with rapt attention is the best! His favorite books right now!
