Our home in Beijing was always bubbling with activity, as we had a little girl keeping us busy. We had to make a small corner in the dining room and isolate it with chairs and cushions so that we could know where to find you in the next five minutes......
MAMA'S GIRL
You cannot miss that glow of happiness seen on the faces of both mom and daughter...
PHOTOGENIC
Can you spot one person who is really playing with the camera and the cameraperson (missing in this frame)? There are many serious faces otherwise in this frame.
SOMETIMES SHY
We had gone to Rajashthan for our family trip. While the bubbly nature was the predominant character, sometimes you also became a bit shy and serious.
UNCONVENTIONAL
If everyone was doing something, you loved doing the unconventional.
AMAZING
These occasions are iike that...when there is so much noise and action that you can barely focus on what is around you. Three girls here comforting Chote Papa during his milestone moment.
HARDWORKING
You were always hardworking and determined. Here, of course you know there is a camera because your younger sister is clearly posing.
REMEMBER?
In Vietnam, you made us run around looking for those shops about which I had never heard, like that billabong shop.
BEST FRIENDS
Through thick and thin, always together.
YOU LOVE SNOW
Our outing to Grand Canyon and Vegas was very memorable, you loved the snow but this outing was also memorable because of something else. Tell me when we speak
GROWING INTO OWN
Ah....this was a very long drive. From SFO to Canada and back. Enroute we stopped at the Crater Lake.
JOYFUL
This photo is among my favourites. Just notice that expression of complete abandon.
THOUGHTFUL
Yes, it is still there.
PAPA'S GIRL
For your community service, we had to spend some time in a village. It was quite tiring and it is visible.
RELIGIOUS
By now, you were already becoming a senior to your siblings.
BUDDING ENGINEER
When I left after dropping you in the KC hostel, a part of my heart got left behind.
DANCER
This was a great occasion, we had so much fun time together learning those dance steps choreographed by all the three sisters together. The fourth one, who was to later become perhaps the best dancer, was still too young then.
LOVING OUTDOORS
The beauty of nature.
FAMILY PERSON
On that cruise, we saw so much. It was a journey into magic.
READY TO FACE THE WORLD
With proud papa and ma.
BEAUTIFUL
Both of you, together make such a beautiful picture.
MY TREASURE
Yes, indeed.
AND FOR MUMMY TOO
Camera just clicked at the wrong time. But these small errors can also make an interesting picture.
