Nerjis Asif Shakir Rushing To See Me Off To The Door, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
My grand daughter Nerjis Asif Shakir waits eagerly for me to come home from work at lunch hour which is a miserly one hour , and though Marziya Shakir is the Queen of the house Nerjis tries to muscle her way into my affections and I succumb.. I love her dearly she is the original camera loving kid in the Shakir family.. the Nikon D 80 is her first love , I dont understand her fascination for the camera , she needs it to touch drool and will smudge her fingers on the lens surface .. I am smarter than her I shoot her picture and than show it to her whch brings a smile to this intutive 7 month old girl child.
She loves my beads , and I know her favorite ones since she a month old or so, now the walker that we got for her helps her move about the house on her tiny legs , and she know the paths even the paths to avoid..she is a very observant child and the first word she learnt to speak is Dada which means Grand Pa in Urdu..
She also loves to lay her hand on my glasses , next comes the laptop of her dad, she loves to play with it.. finally her mothers mobile phone .. and the other two hand applications she has picked up is clapping and if her father looks at her she will avoid his glance and begin beating her chest .. true Shia Malang that she is ..
