Light of my life

My daughter listens to the Taare Zamin Par CD quite often. She is particularly fond of Bum bum bole.

She giggles as Shankar Mahadevan reaches the Man ke andheron ko roshan sa kar dein (Fill the darkness in my heart with light) line in the title song. She knows it has something to do with her mother's name and repeats the word.

p.s. I hope I got the Hindi lines and the translation right. In spite of having studied Hindi until II B.A., my spoken Hindi is pretty pathetic.

Ash misses us sorely in the night. He starts sobbing, and his granpa ends up taking him for a walk at 11.30 in the night to cheer him up.
