Grand daughterly affection

A few weeks back I went to a local Siddha herbal clinic to get my piles and severe constipation treated. After taking their medicines  my health improved. When I went there for the second time, one of the staff members told me that one of the girls at the reception desk said, "Anda thaathaa alagaa irukkaaru " meaning "That grandpa is good looking". I thanked the girl and told her that if I take take birth as a human being in my next birth, I wish to have someone like her to be my daughter or grand daughter. It is nice for any person when children or grandchildren admire him/her, of course from an affection point of view without any odd or perverted feeling.

I have always thought that my parents were a very good looking couple.
