A uniquely diversified poetic narrative, this anthology takes the reader along an adventurous journey into the enchanting world of infants. Here mothers pour their heart out to the unborn infants: I weave at my will, every waking moment and every sleeping wink the pattern of time into matter and space. Here infants sing of their eternal bonds with their mothers: Mother, there is a timelessness between you and me that goes beyond the point you conceived me, beyond singularity, beyond the infinity of time. Here, grandparents go through austerities and take vows of penance for the gift of grandchildren: Creation is no easy matter, joy does not come from nowhere, wishes are not granted without penance; when the oceans were churned the nectar came along with the poison.... Here the divine little angels take you along their milestones in a dance of life, while mothers and fathers nurture them with the labour of love and grandparents inundate them with the adoration that even gods envy.
