Days with grand parents

Hari and Sree with their grand father Mr.K.P.Raju

"Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children "- Alex Haley

Some shots of children with my father during vacation. They had a wonderful time with my parents. Hari always comparing about the cool atmosphere at Kasimadom and the suffocating heat at Maradu. A lot of trees around my home make it cool. Plavu, Aanjili, Mahagony, Veppu, Vatta, Ilanji, Perumaram, Ambazham, Thekku are some of them. They played with my parents. 'Kuzhiyana' was their favourite friend.

Grand parents love them unconditionally and they allow them to play any thing and every thing. Its a great luck to have some days with grand parents its really a path to your childhood itself.
