Namaste-ji everyone. Today we are celebrating ‘Maghi’, signifying the beginning of the month of Magh. According to Hindu beliefs this is an auspicious day to take a holy dip in the river and give to charity. (I took a bath today. Does that count?)

Ohri Grandma knitted Mom and I these sassy winter caps. (Thank you Ohri Grandma!)
 

Here I am celebrating with Dad (…and a cup of this wonderful beverage called 7-Up.) – Kiran  

According to the Hindu calendar, Lohri “The Bonfire Festival” falls in mid-January and celebrates fertility, joy and a bountiful life. The earth, farthest from the sun at this point in time, starts its journey towards the sun thus ending the coldest month of the year Paush and announcing the start of the month of Magh and the auspicious period Uttarayan – January 14 to July 14. Happy Lohri everyone! – Kiran

Guess what? I just learned how to call France and made a new friend today. (“Bonjour Madeleine! Ça va bien merci, et tu?”) – Kiran  

Do I smell anything? No, I don’t smell anything Russell. But you know what they say: “He who smelt it, dealt it”. Te he he. – Kiran

Wednesday Afternoons Before Kiran… 

Wednesday Afternoons After Kiran…

“Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad!…”   

WU-AHHHHHH! Miao Miao! You confused the blender with the TV again! How am I going to explain to Dad how all the fruit and yogurt got on the television? And stop pressing the buttons on the blender! NO! That’s not how you change the channels! – Kiran      

Like most of us, I also gained some holiday ounces over the past few weeks. However, 96.9% of all post-Christmas weight gain can be lost by following a steady diet of homemade buttermilk potato chips and chocolate sprinkles, with a 99% success rate. Additionally, 100% of these statistics came from Verdell. (“Verdell! Are you sure about this?”) – Kiran

This is the year, I can feel it! …I’m going to quit drinking from a bottle. – Kiran

One…three…seven…nineteen…thirty-nine…Whoa! Russell, why do we only have one hundred thirty six lettuce leaves and Diet Cokes for tonight’s Oprah Book Club reading? …Nooooo, tonight is not Brazilian Models Party Nite, Russell. – Kiran
