A loving father gifted his daughter with a beautiful toy home for her birthday. Muhammad Shafi's gift for Mihda Fatima on her sixth birthday has fascinated many people, who have expressed interest in a similar house.
Shafi took two-and-a half months to build the toy home in front of his wife's house Buhaisa Manzil on Mavila beach in Kasaragod.
Shafi, fond of travelling, was inspired by such small structures seen in front of houses as he travelled. He planned to outsource the construction, but as the estimate ran into a lakh, he decided to build the house himself. Working from 6 am to 10 am, he built it, adding on beautification ideas as he proceeded.
The tiled, two-storeyed house has a staircase inside. The kitchen and reading room are in the same space, with utensils stored and provision made for a mini fridge.
Despite being a toy house, it is large enough for adults to sleep. Shafi has also provided CCTV. The house, which has cost him Rs 2 lakh, was handed over to the daughter on her sixth birthday on April 16.
