Kiran and Shaan's World

It’s scientifically impossible, but my Auntie Jamie’s kisses are like pink  cotton candy, rainbows and lollipops all in one. How does she do it? – Kiran

Look who came to visit me…my Kong Kong! – Kiran  

It’s October. Know what that means? HALLOWEEN! And the ‘secret’ ingredient to having a spook-tacular Halloween starts with picking the perfect pumpkin. Here I am with my Dadi-ma during the long and arduous selection process. – Kiran 

Swinging is all about commitment. If you see someone at the playground just barely swinging, it looks wrong. Swing and get fierce ‘big air’ or nothing at all I say. — Um, it also helps if your Mom can push you. (“Mom are you pushing?”) – Kiran

[Editor’s Note: You may have noticed in the last few days that recent posts have appeared, disappeared, were replaced and then reappeared on different dates. That would be because holding down the fort ‘solo mio’ for the month of October has taken its toll and apparently lead to chronic memory loss and a herniated ‘tired-gland’. The messy blogginess should soon be remedied by a RedBull IV inserted directly into my arm and a 16 oz margarita chaser – hay, hay, hay, no ice – to take the edge off….oh yeaaaaaaaa, much better….]      

Happy Birthday to you…

Happy Birthday to you…

Happy Birthday dear Dadi-ma…

Happy Birthday to you! – Kiran

HOW TO AVOID ‘THE WRATH OF MOM’

When Mom’s looking for the culprit who ‘lost’ the tv remote control, again, remember to: 1. Look innocent (see photo) and 2. Feign ignorance (C’est moi?) or 3. Blame Iraq.

When you’ve managed to shift the blame to someone else: SUCCESS! – Kiran  

Diwali (“Festival of Lights”) is a major Hindu celebration symbolizing the victory of good over evil and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind. Diwali is celebrated for five consecutive days at the end of the Hindu month of Ashwayuja. It usually occurs in October or November, and is one of the most popular and eagerly awaited festivals in India.

This year is an extra special Diwali. Why? Because its my very first Diwali. Te he he. So on behalf of Mr. Microsoft Mouse and myself: Happy Diwali Everyone! – Kiran  

I am still sooooooooo excited about being able to stand all by myself. Do you know what this means? Phase 1 of Mission ‘Liberacion Legs’ is in full swing! Rapido legs! Rapido! – Kiran

TA-DAAAAH! I think the experts call this a developmental milestone: I can pull myself up to a standing position unassisted. Nice work legs! – Kiran    

The settings on the amplifier are all messed up? Huh…that’s weird. Nope, not me Mom. Have you questioned the cats? – Kiran
