On the train, Shreya was fascinated by the handbag of another passenger.
We arrived at my grandparents home extremely early in the morning, but the household was up and awaiting us. Shreya received the traditional ceremonial welcome!
My grandfather is 90 years old, and my grandmother 84. Shreya is their first great-grandchild (and for her first eleven months, during which she never saw them, their only great-grandchild, but not anymore.) They were very happy to see her!
Tom captured this picture of Aji as she grated a coconut.
Some time ago a friend posted a picture entitled "Four generations of first-born daughters" on her blog. I realized that that is what we are as well, so here is my own picture of four generations of first-born daughters.
Afterthought:
I should have called this post Five Generations. This is a painting of my great-grandmother.
