Oubaitori is an ancient Japanese idiom. It states that people, like flowers, bloom and grow at their own pace. Each one of us is on our own journey and we must not compare ourselves with others but focus on our growth, just like the sweet grandma here attending school at her age. This illustration is inspired by an article on the ‘Aajibaichi Shala’, a school for grandmothers in Phagane village, Thane, Maharashtra.
