Little performers

Yesterday was Junior Evening at the kids' school. Mira was in a dance sequence from the movie Endhiran. A fusion music that made it convenient for the kids to dance in three different attires - the first batch danced in shiny robotic costumes, the second batch did a duet in Western attire (M was in that) and the third batch did an elementary bharatnatyam in traditional wear (pattu pavadai-blouse).
Here she is with her best friend Lia before the performance, on the stage, and at the park last week with Ash.

The picture below has Ash's peers singing "There's hole in my bucket". He enthusiastically spotted some of his friends for me as we watched the programme from the balcony. 

Talking of Endhiran, there was another of Mira's witty comments this weekend when she went out with her dad for a haircut.

A lady at the shop was calling out to her aunt, "Sithi, sithi, please come." (Sithi in Tamil means one's mother's younger sister, I think.)

Turning back, Mira wondered loudly: "Oh, she has been named after Endhiran!" In the movie Endhiran (The Robot), Rajni the Robot is called Chitti. Sithi and Chitti are pronounced almost alike.

It won Mira a flying kiss in reverse (Tamilians imitate a kiss by touching the cheek of the person with the fingers of the right palm pressed together and drawing the said palm to their own lips with a kissing sound) from the lady in question.
