Baby Mira’s Eight-Week Memoir - As Told Through Wails, Burps, Grins, Twinkles, and Gurgles to Grandpa  (Paperback, Jitendra Mohan Pant)

A baby isn’t just a tiny human waiting to grow up. A baby is a tiny teacher. With no words, no degrees, and no gadgets, a baby shows us what it means to be honest, curious, determined, expressive, and deeply connected to life’s rhythms. Their cries have purpose. Their joy is pure. Their sleep is sacred. Their instincts are razor-sharp. And their ability to live completely in the Moment is something we, as adults, have long forgotten. This book isn’t a parenting manual, nor a scientific breakdown of infant behaviour. Instead, it’s a collection of heartwarming, humorous, and thoughtful stories — all inspired by the daily adventures of a newborn and what they can teach us, the grown-ups, who often think we know it all. Each chapter captures a scene from babyhood through sheer observation of the grandfather— whether it’s bath-time chaos, the drama of milk, the glory of a clean diaper, or the magic of a first smile — and gently uncovers a lesson hiding underneath. Lessons about patience, resilience, playfulness, the need for rest, the power of touch, and the beauty of simply being. As a grandparent, I’ve been gifted a third chance (the first two being Siddharth and Khushi, and the third is Dhriti) — not just to witness early life again, but to truly learn from it. And now, I invite you to join me. Let’s rediscover the world — through the eyes, ears, and howls of a baby.
