Breath taking, touching the heart direct! what a wonderful post and thanks for sharing your beautiful experience of blooming Brahma Kamal with the world.
I wish I could get some tips for the flowering as mine has not flowered since many years.
Take care.

I think that is a brilliant idea! Awesome actually!

I have seen something similar in the OPD section of NIMHANS, Bangalore. No balloons, but coloured bands running along the wall to indicate which department is housed in that floor.

Thanks everyone.

Anonymous, who are you??? I love the way you put it. It's nice to know Moy lives on in someone else's memory that way.

Do you ever visit Doon anymore?

Thanks, ana. I know. Ranting and raving. I usually try to stop myself, but this one was just too much. This child is a girl wonder!

Thanks for coming by - twice! Have you seen our new website? My blog is there now. I'm not posting here anymore. latikaroy/org/jo

i read this a few days ago but didn't have the chance to comment then... there's altogether too much emphasis on grading, labelling and classifying and all that. at such a young age! spend more time to get to know the amazing thing that is a young mind. they don't all fit in the same mold! i think we're very much on the same page with this. i could rant on and on but i'll stop here and just enjoy your words instead :)

Hi Jo,

I sometimes follow your blog. I am not regular but something always pulls me back.

I've never commented before but having come across your blog after so many months and seeing this post on Moy-Moy just made me want to tell you that I remember when Moy-Moy could talk and walk as well. In fact that is the last memory of her for me as I left Doon 15 years ago and I haven't seen Latika since then so just thought I'd let you know, she is still squealing with delight and chasing something in my memories of Doon :)

Love your blog :)

And this reminded me to update your link. Thanks!

I wish no child needs to be tested and assesed at 3 years of age.
She is learning on her own each day,in your home,understanding unknown concepts all on her own-of measuring,dividing and so much more..on her own..thats learning and that is what will give her a fulfilling life later--
tuning in ones senses to learn about the world by observing/absorbing is what learning and education should be all about.Lakshi's pic had me smiling-full of joy and innocence

The Value of Nothing...

“We need to remember the value of nothing. It’s like breathing: you can’t inhale all day.

We need to learn to make peace with the information we don’t know, to embrace the zeroes, to relearn the pleasures of hunger, need, interruption, restraint.

We need to work up our ignorance muscles. We need to organize our internal absences to create meaning. We are responsible, in other words, now and forever, for our own deletionism.”

- Sam Anderson

Jo, you have got the exact scene from the film 'Noth by Northwest starring Cary Grant. Amazing! Thanks

So true , love has no words.

Jo,

It is amazing the doors that you have opened, the light of life you have created for so many. I believe that every light no matter how small adds to the greater good.
How best do I add my donation?

Thanks, Peter. YES, I love that about this life. I am holding on to that as a comfort for my old age when - as I see now with the Biddies - it will be harder to get out and about. There will still be so much to see and to think about and to photograph!

Hi Jo,
Don't you love how you sometimes don't even have to leave the confines of your home to find great subjects? That is a blessing indeed. I especially love the message behind the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

2011-07-19T09:09:17.683+05:30

a walky talky... i'll think of that term now, i know exactly what you mean. i love how children live in the moment and absorb as much as they can from each passing moment. i think it has to do with that whole thing, where the longer you live, the faster time goes. i think pausing to jump in a puddle for 5 seconds must be like us savouring a warm cup of tea for 20 minutes. something like that? i don't know, but i think we forget so much as we get older and take on the worries of an adult life. 'til (if we're lucky enough) little ones enter our lives and remind us of what life is really about.

because when the mind does not question much the soul flies on swings and life is painted with mud and rain water and time is travelled in seven small steps...i do it all the time too :)

Rama, Wow, thank you so much! What compliments!
