Generation to Generation

The lady in the white saree is like a grandmother to me. My Marathi friends and I call her 'Aaji' (granny). The little baby - Idhika is a friend's daughter. When Idhika grows up and learns to talk, she will call her 'Panji' (great grandmother). The love with which Aaji was talking to Idhika was heart-warming, and seeing Idhika responding to her was endearing.

Grandma's Kitchen

This is one of my favourite sections in India Habitat Centre. This is the 'Grandma's Kitchen', which serves amazing pastries, cakes, doughnuts etc. It is a nice place to celebrate something as little as getting a seat in a crowded bus or something as important as a birthday. :-)
