Curious of all the commotion in the neighboring room, a heavily pregnant Pooja went in to have a look
She saw numerous beautiful wooden toys, silverware and an exquisite handcrafted cradle!
That’s the cradle of Amey’s grandfather! Amey himself and now Amey’s child will play in this cradle, her MIL beamed.
Pooja was stunned looking at all the treasures and listening to the memories her MIL was rattling away looking at various things in the room.
Pooja had been skeptical about delivering the baby in the ancestral home. It was in a small town with good hospitals around, but she was vying for the luxury hospital in the city.
Pooja could see a baby Amey in the cradle, as her MIL shared beautiful memories.
In that moment she realized, the warmth of memories and love of people would be the best luxury she could offer her baby.
Beautifully conceptualized and written on photo fiction. Loved the thoughts on family bonding as the best luxury a mother can offer her child.
So true.. Though such things are lost in today’s world. But much appreciated the way you brought them back in this article.
Loved the take on the pic. I agree, about the bondis of family being the best to give to your child.
Loved reading your take on the photo, there is so much love and positiveness in your post.
What a beautiful story .Relationships are precious it grows only if we let it be.
Many times we realise later that our in-laws have the same warmth as us but from a different perspective.
That is a beautiful short story. It touched a chord within. It is so important to realise the true value of relationships.
I could feel the warmth of memories through your post. And it reminds me of the cradle I played in. That cradle has traveled to most of the families in our neighborhood. Its hard to count ho many babies have played in it

This is so well-written. Well thought and expressed. A beautiful read.
Beautiful. Having a baby really changes minds and people.
True- its so nice she realised this. nothing can compensate for the love and warmth of our kith and kin
That’s a beautifully weaved story … Love and affection has a place far above than luxury
Awww how beautifully you penned it down. The memories, feelings emotions are all the treasures of human life 🙂
Ohhh yes and my MIL got the same silver ware for my son which my husband used as a kid and his jewellery was the most touching gift ever..sometimes we need to let go our apprehensions to realise the beauty of life
That’s beautiful written connecting to the value of culture and ancestors.
That is so true. No luxury can match the warmth of dear ones.
Beautiful! In the end, it is love that matters.
Aww that’s so sweet of her MIL. And so true though…its important for the mother to stay positive during pregnancy and labour and the care, love and support of loved ones can make a huge difference.
A heart warming take on the prompt Neha. Comforting presence of the near and dear ones is the best luxury one can have!

That left a smile on my face. SUch a heartwarming post, Neha. At times, all is needed is the warmth of near and dear ones during labour as it eases out lots of nerves.
that’s so right, Neha. none of the worldly wonders can be compared to the love and affection one can expect and get from family. and esp, when one is pregnant. the oozing love, care, and pampering is just so heartwarming. lovely take, Neha. Cheers!
The love and warmth of family is always good and lucky are those who get it.
Now that is a happy realisation, isn’t it. Nothing can beat the warmth and love of tradition.

Loved the way you captured something as simple as a cradle. You definitely are someone to look out for!
What a beautiful take ! Took me back to the time we had when Haniya was born and we went through a similar phase
Very inspiring and beautiful story. Great thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful narration. True value lies in relationships and not material wealth. Loved it.
Beautiful! Very heartwarming. I had similar thoughts when I was given such kind of things for my kids from my mum and mother in law.
Lovely story – love the nostalgia and the promise 🙂
