Kiran and Shaan's World

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

In honor of this grand and romantic holiday, I am giving hugs and kisses to everyone who comes by our house today. Remember it’s first come first serve, so act now! – Kiran

Valentine’s Day is, of course, a major national holiday, an earthshaking news event, and one of the most important things going on in the world tomorrow. Remember to buy your sweetheart (me) plenty of chocoloates (for me) and candy (for me). – Kiran

Here I am brainstorming ideas for my new zine “Word Ninja!”. What’s a zine? Well, before everyone and their mom and their mom’s mom had a blog, everyone had a zine. But the thing about zines is that they really require effort: stapling, photocopying, etc. But in the pioneering spirit of 1994, “Word Ninja!” plans to pay tribute to zine-sters of the past with our first issue aptly titled ‘Oldies, but Goodies’. Look for it on the magazine racks of your local grocers next month. – Kiran  

LUNCH AT CAFE LUCCA

“I’ll have my usual: Sopresetta Pasta and aged Kumamoto Cheese Fries please.” – Kiran    

Last night we celebrated the opening of our newly renovated karaoke bar called “K Bar”. Complete with an elevated stage, top-notch machine loaded with 1,200 songs and spotlights, we watched Mom perform a jazz-hands version of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”, while Russell sang Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” accompanied by Dad. (“SHAKE IT DAD!! SHAKE IT!!”) All in all, the night was filled with lots of dancing feet and good times. – Kiran     

“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAH, whah, whah, whah, whah, whah.” – Kiran

HEY! Who swapped my formula with artichoke liquor?!! – Kiran

This is my new friend Maury. My Dadi-ma and Dada-ji brought him to our house over the weekend. (Thank you Dadi-ma! Thank you Dada-ji!) Like me, Maury loves playing imaginary laser tag. (“Pew, pew, pew…got you that time Maury!”) – Kiran
