Happy Grandparent's Day

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


Did you know? 
The first Grandparents’ day was set by Governor Arch Moore. In 1973, a resolution was passed in the USA by Senator Jennings Randolph proclaiming the first Sunday after Labour Day as National Grandparents’ Day. September was the chosen month signifying the ‘autumn years’ of life. 
 
Grandparents share a very special relationship with children. Indulging unconditionally and bringing their wealth of experiences, they are an amazing storehouse of real life true stories and many more added from their imagination. This relationship is evident in the endearing names the children call their Grandparents by. 

We lovingly wish all our dear Ajji-Ajoba, Nani-Nana, Dadi-Dada, Ajja-Ajji, Tata-Paati, Appacha-Amachie a very Happy Grandparent's Day!

A moving tribute to a beloved grandfather 

How do you plan to celebrate ?

Some families choose to celebrate this day are, going on picnics, having family dinners, updating the family album or taking a census such as who are the oldest and youngest members of the family or even visit elderly people who have no family.

Happy GrandParents Day!

Grandpas and Grandmas are everything nice,
Like presents and candy and raspberry ice,
And chocolate fudge sundaes with cherries on top,
And popcorn and peanuts and grape soda pop,
In winter or summer in rain or in sun,
Grandmas and grandpas are wonderful fun!
Grandparents are meant for kisses and hugs;
For watching rainbows and catching bugs;
For baking all our favourite things;
For books to read and songs to sing!

Through ''Days with Thathu'' , Malar brings to us a glimpse of her beautiful small world which she shares with her grandfather and all the ordinary things that they do extra-ordinarily, in fact, the ordinary things become extra-ordinary when they both do it together. She enjoys being with her Thatha, who is lovingly called Thathu sometimes. They go to watch cinema, go in the open sea playing with the fish, Thathu walks and she skips holding hands, they enjoy grey clouds and the playing in the rain, they run together, they somersault together and play pretend games while she sits on the lap of her dear Thathu.
