When my daughter was a small baby, she used to very excited and happy on seeing a bird, my laptop has a green bee eater image shot by me as wallpaper, she would point to it and giggle. So When she turned one year old, I thought of buying her a board book which would have common bird images. I went to the shop, picked a board book and on scanning the book I found it had all foreign birds images, never mind I thought, after all she will be happy... I starting showing her the birds in the book, In that book there was a bird called Robin..

After around six months, my husband got a project in US and we moved to California. One evening we were taking a walk near the hotel where we were put up, when my husband pointed to a colorful bird and I recognized it as the "Robin".., the colorful bird in the baby's book ...

A small incident but definitely left a smile on my face...
