Kiran and Shaan's World

SMILE OF THE DAY

As the mercury begins to rise, Red Mango frozen yogurt becomes the dessert of choice. The success and appeal of Red Mango? It is frosty cool deliciousness in a cup and more importantly it doesn’t exacerbate my muffin top. Think of it as “the leg warmer of food trends.” – Kiran

Huh? What smell? Oh, wait, that’s the breakfast burrito I just ate. Extra onions was maybe a bad choice. Oh, it’s not that bad. Dad, come over and smell my breath. *breathes* Ha ha ha! Dad? DAD! DAD, WAKE UP! Oh, not again – MEDIC! – Kiran  

Today was a very special day as Kiran Thakur, titan of finance, destroyer of global warming and master of the universe, celebrated his milestone 2nd birthday. The extravanganza was strewn with champagne, canapes and solid gold busts of Kiran’s head for every guest. Friends and family boogied to the live musical entertainment provided by DJ Lastings, who played a collection of Kiran’s favorite Top 40 Hits of all time (Play That Funky Music, Jump!, You Should Be Dancin’, Tonight’s the Night, etc.), while the man of the hour himself giddily group-hugged guests and air-kissed well wishers like he was reliving his bar mitzvah. (Wait – Zebbie, is that last part right?) – Elmo, Guest Editor

I am pleased as peas to introduce to all of you my new little brother. As related to me by Mom, my brother likes to spend his days bouncing about in her belly in the hopes of breaking his 90-minute pogo jumping record and securing a few dollars from his pogo stick sponsors. He is a young man with a pogo stick and a dream. – Kiran   

Can’t talk…late for school, late for school. Okay, apparently I’ve left a pair of pants and shorts on the floor–better put them both on. What’s that over there? Oh, 152 watches. Perfect. Okay, ready to go! (Ugh, my arm hurts.) – Kiran

Who knew that being featured on the cover of American Baby Magazine would come with so many perks. My deli guy now gives me extra prosciutto free of charge, my drycleaners return my shirts to me with a crispness only reminiscent of their original fresh goodness and the girls at the tanning salon hooked me up with an extra ten minutes in booth Number 7. – Kiran

“Hey Elmo, what are you wearing to the National Fo Shizzle Awards tonight?” – Kiran

“Maybe a traditional white plantation jacket, but I’m definetly going braless.” – Elmo

“Huh?!” – Kiran

You know what’s really hip these days? Milk. Elmo posted a photo of fine moo juice on his blog and has accumulated 300+ reviews so far. And you can examine it with multiple views, i.e. examining the jug of milk from a foot away, 14 inches away and 10 inches away. Really gives you perspective on milk’s many different visual facets. – Kiran   

On the fifth consecutive day of actual spring-like weather, I struggled mightily with a question that will plague me for the next few months. How, and why, has everyone succumbed to the ugliness that is toe cleavage? Flip-Flops! Yargh! Too much too soon people! Socks all summer! – Kiran
