The Champ is Home!

Dear Bhanju,

 Hello buddy! You are 3 days old now and coming to your home for the first time. It is a very special place; it will be your first home. It will be a home where you will grow up. A home which is special for all of us, it is also the first home that your parents owned in US.  You being part of it just make it extra special.

 I have been there, and I know each and every thing in there has being handpicked by your parents. It is a combination of modern amenities and antiquated artifacts. To be frank, sometimes it looks like a mini museum, but so it is. You will not find such a splendid home anywhere else.

 This home where you will live in has seen loads of happiness. The 2011 World Cup victory of India, the rehearsals of Diwali events, the Birthday celebrations, and many more… and now the home will see you. It has always been a lively and buzzing place, because of all the wonderful friends your parents have. You will meet them, and their kids will become your friends. So, one thing is for sure, you will have many friends, and I can assure they would be good friends too.

 You may not live forever in this home. You and your parents may move to a bigger home, a bigger city, or may be eventually you would go to some other city like Cambridge, MA or Pittsburg for higher studies. Always remember your first home, it is very special for all of us, and it is very special for you too! There is a NASA space shuttle toy I had got from Washington DC when I was there, now it is yours. One of your first toys, and first gift from mamu. I want to tell you, you may or may not become an astronaut, but whatever you do, and become in life, be the best in it, and enjoy it!

Yours lovingly,
Kartik Mamu.
