  2. A grandmother and two children walking along a path through green tea gardens on a misty hillside, with the parents behind them.

    May: the hills with Paati. Meera counted forty-one tea bushes before she gave up.

  3. A small boy with a school bag waving goodbye from a gate while his mother and sister wave back.

    June: Karthik's first day at big school. He waved once, very bravely, and did not look back.

Made by Sunita in Jaipur, as the family's Diwali gift to the whole parivaar

Our First Year at Flat 1203: The Reddys

Made by Sravani and Kiran in Bengaluru, with a copy for Kiran's parents

  1. An elderly woman and a young couple watching milk boil over in a brass pot on a new kitchen stove.

  2. A small girl sitting on a floor cushion on a plant-filled balcony, holding a picture book open to the plants.

    Our favourite corner: the balcony, where Hasini reads to her plants every evening.

  3. A family lighting rows of diyas along a balcony railing at night, with apartment lights in the background.

    Our first Deepavali at home. The whole building lit up, and Hasini said goodnight to every diya.
