Elephants are such adorable beings, they rare their little ones just like how humans do. They protect and take care of their children in all circumstances. I tell that to myself as I look at four giant elephants with two baby elephants, one playing in the mud and the other one drinking water from a well. The whole scene was so delightful,that it filled my heart with immense joy and amusement.
             I hear him say "That's the mumma elephant, there, there goes the daddy elephant and there the cute little one, the tiny, tiny one out there is the baby elephant, just like you". I realized we were sitting on an elephant view rooftop restaurant, I turn towards him and I see him sitting across me on a table and heaven believe me, he's got a little baby girl of about twelve and a half months old, wearing a coral blue jumpsuit with white inners, sitting on his lap. The baby looks extremely fascinated with the elephants.
             His arms had gently held her tiny arms, which looked as fragile as cotton infront of his. His arms that looked so stiff and strong, very much in the habit of carrying only the heavier things at home, this time was holding a little baby as delicate as a flower. I could say that he was way more cautious holding her, than he has ever been while holding anything else in his life.
         After every other minute, I see him kissing her head, that has little brown hair on top of it. He wipes her mouth with his hands everytime she's about to drop a piece of food. He takes her little fingers, kisses it and smiles at her in the most adorable way. Just by seeing him, one could say that those little eyes meant the world to him.
        She turns around,looks at him and tries to shove her tiny index finger up his nostrils, we both laugh as he takes her hand, kisses it and he  says "she's learnt a lot, do you do that infront of her when I am not home?" he puts his head back and starts laughing, I raise my eyesbrows not being able to stop my laugh, and he fights his sentences while laughing and says  "com'on baby, we all have done it, atleast once in our life, when no ones looking", I give him a surprised look in between my laugh,"okay fine,when we were young" he quickly says and starts laughing more, he looks down to his daughter, who is by now quite amused,seeing her father laugh so much and he says to her "the nose cleaning stuff, right baby" and we both start laughing again, very much  surprising our and the elephant's child.

Author's Note

I think it's phenomenal to see a young guy who is high on life and someone  who knows all the fun things to do, one day turning into the most compassionate man in the world, a father to his children.
Stay tuned with Ethan and Myra's little adorable moments.
