My family
My family is a picture of happiness and love. We are blessed to have each other. On weekends, we do things together like watching movie, going for shopping or just spend time at home watching Netflix.
Yuvein, he is currently 4 years old and my lovely wife Binisha who is also a shopping freak. Our mornings are quite interesting as Yuvein needs a lot of pampering so that he can wake up and go to his school.
