Little Rumniya, all of a year and a half, goes to a wedding with her Nani and Nana. She is attired in a lovely lehenga and bangles and looks exactly like any Indian kid on a festival/family event. The venue is done up with flower strings and colourful buntings. Waiters are going around with trays of drinks, guests are greeting each other and folks are joyfully tucking into the wedding feast. Soon Nani and Nana meet their friends and start chatting and little Rumniya, well, gets lost in the crowd.
Instead of crying (like how yours truly had!) she decides to do something. She figures that it would be much easier from her height to check out folks' footwear rather than trying to scan faces. So thats what she does. She goes around checking people's sandals and slippers till she comes to a familiar looking pair!
Needless to say this was a hit in these parts and with not just the kids!
