		<description><![CDATA[Boys will be boys, so the saying goes.
Even though he&#8217;s very well-mannered and generous, Kabir has always behaved in a manner that is distinctly different from Khushi&#8217;s, and more or less typical of &#8220;boys&#8221;.  There&#8217;s a lot more energy and excitement with the simplest of activities.  There&#8217;s a lot more need to keep him busy [...]]]></description>

&#8220;I have a thing for Dickens. I&#8217;m reading his letters at the moment. There are 12 volumes of them, and each one is several hundred pages long. If he&#8217;d [...]]]></description>
