There were two very important things that helped Jyot Singh keep warm through the dark winters; Nani’s praute and Nani’s hugs. When Nani would hold him, Jyot felt as if the whole world was holding him. And when he’d refuse to let go, Nani would giggle, ‘Oh my, look how big your heart has grown! Perhaps you’ve eaten one too many praute!’

But Jyot was certain that it was Nani who had the biggest heart, because he couldn’t stop getting so lost in it.
