Ellora was born on last Friday. She is the first child of our eldest daughter. Her husband is also the eldest sibling. Imagine the happiness of four inexperienced, eager, and anxious grandparents on her arrival. A granddaughter indeed!
Children join only two persons: grandchildren link six. No wonder we like them so much. As the generations go forward the number of people connected together increases geometrically. Of course go back in past for long enough and we all are connected to each other through the First Couple.
You can dream to see the future through her eyes and simultaneously relive your past. She tells you of her aspirations and you tell her the tales of time gone by. Future and past meet at the platform called present to catch the train known as time and the eternal journey continues.
You teach her and you learn from her. The boundary between who teaches and who learns becomes not just blurred but completely obliterated.
Life becomes a continuum instead of unconnected dots.
