… or who’s the boss? Well nobody really.

I refer to how kaveri (age 11) who in a little over three years has matured mentally, physically and socially. It is, of course, a very significant stage in life.

As you can see she now almost as tall as her mum (age 29?).

I’m proud of her and the little help I’ve been able to be.

On reflection, she’s always been quite ‘together’ for her age.

She’s just about to start her third school since I’ve known her. I’ve promised that Manjula’s Mysore will continue to support her education up to university and maybe beyond.

Kaveri, Lucie and I

I’m — as Kaveri puts it — one of her nine mums.
