“Today is amma’s country’s independence day”, Kirti replies “Really….” that is all she could say with a surprised look on her face. After a little bit of running around she came back to me today “Oh you’re right you’re from India and I am Malaysia” I felt weird although she is my blood but she has no feeling towards my country as I do it was hard to accept that feeling though. I decided to do a small run-through about India with Kirti and Kiran, I am sure Kirti will understand but not sure of Kiran feeling and understanding capabilities. I wanted to do a small presentation for them to know about India and our independence and was not sure why I was feeling so happy about it.
That evening I managed to prepare a quick presentation (attaching some of the slides) and was very excited to share it with them; after seeing the entire presentation of 16 slides Kirti asked me so many questions, Kiran was excited to see the colors in the slides. After the entire presentation Kirti said “I like the peacock, tiger and lotus”, “why is the tata called father of India” and even memorized the colors in the flag and was asking me about the presentation even after sometime, I was glad that I could retain her attention until the end and was happy to see her interested. The best part is she asked me “amma will you please help me prepare one for my country too” and I said I will help her with it and she hugged me and said “yeeahhhh I am going to make a presentation for merdeka”
