Samarth’s piggy ride
As usual, Samarth was getting ready to go to the Anganwadi Centre with his mother, who was also a teacher there. They walked down from their house, and Samarth's mother prepared to give him a piggyback ride because the path was rocky and steep due to the mountains. Samarth sat on his mother's back, greeting everyone they passed along the way. While walking, his mother pointed out different things to Samarth, such as big rocks, tall trees, furry dogs, and even a moth they discovered together. As they approached a staircase, Samarth's mother asked him to climb down the stairs while she held his hands for support. After a short journey, they reached the Anganwadi Centre.
