always stay in your mind.
And when those lessons are in history being imparted by a teacher, who has breathed-lived-walked-eaten-drunk History all her life, to her granddaughter, it becomes all the more a moment worth the while 🙂
Although am on vacation still, couldn’t help sharing this as a keepsake.
Moments like this are what memories made of, aren’t they?**
**RM’s post inspired me to say this :D. Yeah,yeah, go ahead..call me the Anu Malik of blogging!

What super fun! If she likes history,she might enjoy Horrible Histories, but just try from a library first. Because some children are put off by it. Kunju loves it. She has a few titles and has been pestering me to buy the whole series

Library is what I absolutely miss having around me Smits :(. Any idea if I can download it on Kindle? She seems to have taken to e-reading well, unlike me 🙂

Yes, it is definitely available on Kindle. And you could read an excerpt on Amazon before you buy as well. Will send you the link.

History to me was never a subject of interest till class IX, when I had teacher as my class teacher and my history and geography teacher. She made it all so easy, just like story-telling, unlike others who just made us scribble piles and piles of notes, making it all just awfully boring and senseless. As I always tell teacher, her words and her expressions during the lectures are still so fresh in my mind. Namnam is surely lucky to have her first lessons in history from her grandmother, who is my favorite teacher too. Lots of Love to the cutie pie and hugs to Teacher Amma. 🙂

Deeps, I totally agree with Rekha here. My teacher is the only teacher who has made a subject like history so interesting , the most awaited period in my life in my entire school days was history (no wonder I becam an arts student), why history?? I used to enjoy her Geography classes to the hilt. I never felt I was in a class room with her, it was always as if I was a part of the story / history she was narrating. Lots of love to my most most beloved teacher ever and Nammu baby is one lucky girl to be taking the lessons from her at such a tender age, I bet she would love history all her life, it is so evident from her facial expression. Hugs to both of them….
take care
