Flow of affection and love...

By Jayakishore Bayadi

She is Nadi. Nadi stands for river in Kannada. She is barely two months younger than my sose (niece), Prarthana. I just cannot explain the eonian bliss I get whenever iam with these little goddesses. For me, kid’s smile, is always bewitching. Their cry, smile, laughter are truly captivating, enchanting and inspiring.

So happened when I visited my good friend, Ganadhalu Shrikanta's house recently. Nadi is his daughter. Ganadhalu wanted her name to be Nadi just because; he wanted his daughter to be associated with nature always. Kudos Gans…

Indeed, nature and kid’s smile are related. Just because, nature as such is pure, green always. And so is the child’s smile. I think that’s why, home with a baby is always filled with repose isn’t it?

But as child grows, when he or she has to face the so-called ‘civilized human world’, they turn into ‘real humans’. Distressing fact is that nobody can exist here as pure as child. Most of the times smile doesn’t come from within….but still we can smile…from the heart at least, when we are with little goddesses….

By the way, Ganadhalu loves nature a lot. He can talk about organic farming, vanishing lakes in Bangalore, velvet beans and so many things at a stretch. Recently, This zealous journalist has released a book on velvet beans, in a function held at Gadag, organized by CAM. My hearty congratulations to Ganadhalu.I think, soon, he is going to launch a new Blog on his love, ‘nature’, it seems. We all eagerly wait for this.
