I remember once while Kakaji sent a sweet box to Aarav just a year before he died. I told him how you could give him the box without writing anything on it? He then wrote, "To naughty one from the nana whom you love." That was his style. He could have written, "From the Nana who loves you." I have clicked a picture and preserved it. When Aarav grows up, I shall present it to him."
