This picture of my maternal grandfather, Mohd Tahir, was probably taken in the late 1930's. Mom was still a young girl when he died of a sickness in 1942. This picture was taken of grandad playing tennis. My brother, Kitin, looks so much like him that we could easily have mistaken the photo of my grandad for Kitin's if not for the yellowing, black-and-white photograph.

Grandad's look-alike.

This is a picture of Kitin during his wedding about 9 years ago. Maybe next time I can get a clearer picture of him. Anyway, Kitin is not really his name. He got called Kitin because when he was just a baby, he would jump up and down on my mom's lap. He did that so often that he got nicknamed Kitin.
