The rains have meant holidays for schools in Chennai.The latest depression in the Bay of Bengal has won them two days leave - on Friday and Monday.
Yesterday mother and children spent a quiet, rain-soaked day at home watching DVDs - The Ugly Daschund, Peter Pan and A Wednesday (the last being a Hindi-English movie starring Nasiruddeen Shah). The first two movies fascinated them and they didnt want the DVDs returned to the library. The last intrigued them as they havent really seen what bombs can do to human lives.
Watching movies at the theatre is beginning to interest them. After The Adventures of Tintin last week (released 6 weeks earlier in India), they now want to watch Puss in Boots, which is releasing on Dec 2. V tells me I am teaching them many bad, unnecessary habits.
Half yearly exams begin in mid December, after the Christmas programme in school this weekend. Mira is taking part in some programme.
Our Xmas vacation is jinxed since the maid wants to go home for 10 days for Pongal (early Jan), so we wont be having much of a Xmas or Pongal vacation.
