Shahid has a beautiful old, hand embroidered, delicate, white kameez which is one of the last physical reminders of his baby-hood. Its one of those old pieces that evokes lovely memories of his own youth. On Daniyal's birth, this piece of memorabilia was passed on to me for Daniyal after years of safekeeping by Ami Kazi.
Now Daniyal does white well. He looks clean and neat in it (well, for the few minutes before he turns into a magnet for all kinds of dirt), and for anyone who has had boys living in close proximity, looking clean is nothing short of a miracle.
So last friday after a good scrub and a rub, I made little D wear Shahid's kurti. He put on his cute chapal booties (the closest thing we have to kheirees), and wore the only shalwar he has (courtesy Aunty Nighat...thank you).
Here is the Young Jedi in his camera-friendly glory.
