Long Long time ago,
In the towns of Bombay and Bangalore,
Two kids were born chubby,
Destined to become Wife and Hubby,
Their cute smiles and beautiful voice
Made their large family rejoice.

big

10. Bigger than the Amazon ?
To give you a sense of scale,
organizing a small lunch
with my family in India,
involves about 50 phone calls,

Takes up about 40 chairs in the restaurant,

The waiters and waitresses pull their hair
out.
But we have a great time!

around,
standing tall and growing,

stable & strong environment

connect to everyone

make them strong, and help
them grow.
With plenty of leaves, to
always provide fresh air
and insights & loads of
energy & life.

22. Our Dream
A home full of laughter and fun with children playing & running
around and creating a chaos & mess in a sweet and wonderful
way.
A vacation to India, visiting all the wonderful uncles and aunts
and kids playing with their cousins and having a gala time.
A quite room where Grandma tells stories and Grandpa sits and
plays games.
A beautiful house with a backyard where the children go
boating with their dad & play with their aunts and friends .
A small cozy room for the kids to relax and be loved and
pampered by their Mom in all possible and
an unconditional way.
