interact with the children & to watch their imagination run. Some reply
meekly, some are curious and few children’s imagination run wild. It’s a fun to
watch the child’s response especially if the child is extrovert, then this
simple question acts as a spark to his imagination and he lands chasing the
unimaginable world and his expressions are awesome.

accompany him on his errands and he was vigilant to shape my gestures, improve

world outside home.

skills, ever ready to welcome guests pouring and home management imbibed in me

adapt the knowledge of the market and my persistent efforts helped me to encash
the opportunity.
