Akirno saw a picture of Reese Witherspoon in a magazine some time back. Aleika told me he has been wanting to come over to my place ever since.
Aleika gave the phone to him so we could say hi.
– Hello Stephanie…
– Hello Akirno!
– …I want to go to your house!
– Well, I’d love to have you come to my house! 😀
I won’t even try to tell you how much this snippet of conversation means for me — both in terms of how far Akirno has come, and now much he means to me. I was last in England six months ago, and I barely saw him an hour or so then. His mom and I are going to plan their visit pretty soon!

Hi Stephanie,
You and I are strangers, yet this little ray of light -Akirno, binds us together incomprehensibly. I was stuck by the way your weblog read, in many ways, I have felt the exact same way about Akirno. And if I have refrained from keeping in touch with him, Aleika and Somak(da) over the years, it is purely out of a selfish need for self-preservation. I missed them dearly after they left Pune, and I missed Akirno more than anyone else. I started living with them in IUCAA right after you left — and although I eventually moved out with my college mates to shack in an apartment nearby, I never really stopped living with them. The little Akirno is still the ideal child to me — joyous, spontaneous and idyllic!
