Sometimes we just need to move on in life even though there’s quite a big price to pay for it. I recently changed my house in Bangalore & moved to a spacious apartment near to my office. The worst part of it was that now I have rare chance (may be no chance) of meeting Prateeksha. Here are the last few photos that I took of her.

I had taken more photos of Prateeksha, but unfortunately when I was at Chicago recently I was trying to do some experiment with my camera & accidentally formatted my memory card due to which I lost lot of precious photos including many great photos of Prateeksha

Here are some of the photos taken by me using a point & shoot basic camera during the photography workshop by Arjun at Talghatpura near Bangalore in December 2005.

This is Prateeksha. The cutest person in my life. She stays in the same building in which I stay in Bangalore. She is the grand-daughter of my land lord. Isn’t she really grand!

She apparently likes me very much & she visits my house very often. She fights with her mom/grandfather whenever they come to my home to take her back. She says "Naan baralla…" which means "I won’t come…". She is one of the rare proofs in this big world that I am a loving person!

She calls me ‘Sheshu Mama’ & whenever she she sees me she loudly shouts "maaamaaa……." which brings an irresistible smile to my face. Whenever she gets happy she claps her hand and jumps. She is 3 1/2 year old and very small. So, often I throw her into the air and catch her back which makes her very happy. Her facial expressions and body language is too good. She somehow doesn’t like to talk, she prefers to communicate through body language and facial expression which makes her even more cute!
