Coconut Ropes and Sparrow
And I remember the first picture that I shared is my rented house. I did tie a rope there hoping that someday I get to build my own house. And the second picture is my own house, which I took a couple of years back. And my balcony, where kitchen balcony has a lot of space, where I had washing machine. And a nest has been built by a sparrow. And whenever I see sparrows, I just feel like my granny's just come and visited me

And I'll also be sure to tie these coconut ropes around my house to the windows and the balcony. Would love to see the sparrows sitting. Of course, we have a lot of money now, sparrows have become a rarity. But let's see what they do with those. Yeah. Thank you, as always

Though she was aji, but we used to call her I because she got married in a very early stage of her life, and everyone in the family thought, like, you know, she's too young for to be called as Aji

You see. Thank you for your appreciation. I never gave a thought of publishing it, but yeah, I have made some kind of notes of these memory in my diary. Let's see how it goes from here. Close
And it also made me reminisce about my grandmother, who even in her ripe old age of 70, 75 plus, she used to take the trouble to put elaborate rangolis not with the colored powder that you get, but with rice flour, which is a lot more difficult to draw with. And I would always think, why is she doing this? I mean, with her aching back and all of that, what is even the need to do this?
