God gives couples a second chance to enjoy the bliss of becoming parents once again - of course, this second chance comes with the 'GRAND' title. You get the perks and privileges, without the responsibility of bringing up the young ones - I am sure about this.
Another way of looking at it is that God gives a chance to one's offsprings to witness first hand what their parents had gone through to bring them to their present state from their birth. Is it God's way to make one value the contributions of one's parents to their well being? Enough philosophy......now about the most important and recent addition to the family of our daughter and son-in-law - Meher Mandyam.
Narsim and Medha were blessed with our grand daughter 'Meher', who was born on 29 Sep 08. Poonam was in Canada for the event and I reached there on 02 Nov 08. I am back in Chennai, much against my wishes. Poonam continues to enjoy Meher for another two months. Meher has been the centre of attraction for all of us. She brought a great deal of warmth into our lives even in the bitter cold of Canada, at this time of the year. We even had 7 cms of snow just before I left - rather early this time.
So it was the warmth of a new addition to our family, and the cold weather and snow that greeted me in Canada on this occasion. A glimpse of my trip follows.
Happiness.......a warm feeling. It makes you smile too!!! Narsim, Medha, Self with Meher (sleeping beauty), Chaitanya, Poonam and Leia
The dreaded snow......you need to clear the driveway and the sidewalk.
However, Leia loves the snow......frolicking in the snow in the backyard
Canadian winter is not only dreaded by the humans.......

May the baby have a great life ahead....
Congratulations on becoming a grand-dad! God has blessed you with one more person to think and care about.
The group photo is fantastic. The grandfather proudly holding the precious grand daughter.
Leia looks majestic. I guess it is a golden retriever.
Now you have to work harder with the addition in the family. That is why you came back to India so fast :) :) :)
Have a good day :)
Yes, you are right. Leia is a golden retriever.
Didn't feel like coming back but had to...only three weeks of vacation for this year were pending.

You have a beautiful family, and a gorgeous retriever.
And congratulation to you and your wife on acquiring a "Grand" title :) God Bless!
