A Star is Born!
Today was my school, Kindergarten Starters' 'Raja' which means 'end of school year performance'. The main annual holiday, called 'Dassara' starts now so the schools close for a few weeks to celebrate this multi-faith festival. The streets will be festooned and special working elephants have been brought over from the forests to march in a parade throughout the city. They are brightly painted from foot to trunk. Mama is going to take me to see the parade from a friend's balcony so that we won't be crushed with the thousands of people on the streets! So today I had to dress smartly for school and I chose to sing a Hindi nursery rhyme called Dhobi ayah which means 'washerman' and it is about a washerman who goes from house to house collecting people's laundry. I had to sing it in front of all the parents and children, although initially slightly reticent, I soon found my voice as you will see below!
Go Go Goa
We had a wonderful family holiday in Goa a few weeks ago. Lots of pool time, play time, beach time and shell collecting. It was so much fun. Lots of exotic wildlife too; snakes, mongoose, frogs and LOTS of mosquitoes. Nevertheless it was a fantastic break away from work and studying and my swimming is now very proficient. We hope you enjoy these few snaps. Love you and see you next month! xxxxx
