The Diamond heart when complete
One afternoon, I was sitting at the dining table, completely focused on my little project — a sparkling, heart-shaped design covered in tiny diamonds. Dadu walked by, curious as always.
Dadu: “Geet, what are you doing there with all those shiny little things?”
Me: “I’m making a diamond heart, Dadu. See these little diamonds? I pick them up with this stylus and place them one by one onto the heart.”
Dadu: “How do you knit them all together?”
Me (laughing): “Oh, I don’t knit them, Dadu! I just place them on this sticky surface. It’s already coated with glue.”
Dadu: “So you don’t need to use any glue at all?”
Me: “No, not at all! The surface is sticky enough to hold the diamonds. I just have to follow the pattern — the heart tells me where each color goes.”
Dadu leaned closer, his glasses slipping down his nose, studying the tiny gems that caught the afternoon sunlight.
Dadu: “Ah, I see now. It’s like painting — but with diamonds!”
Me: “Exactly, Dadu! It’s called diamond art. And when I’m done, the heart sparkles just like real jewels.”
Just then, Dadi Ma called out from the kitchen, her warm voice filling the house:
“Come one, come all! Food is ready to be served!”
Dadu chuckled and said, “Looks like our diamond heart will have to wait till after lunch.”
I smiled, placing the stylus down carefully. The little diamonds glittered in the sunlight — like they were smiling too.
Once it’s complete, I shall gift it to Dadi Ma, who works so hard for all of us.
