This should be a dream come true for me!
For a simple call to work on a web project, the kids swamped! The strange part of it was that the call did not mention anything about the project in which the kids would be working! And the mail id did not have any name to address the mails to.
This made me think that the kids are just looking for something exciting to work on.
And yes, they all turned up for the meeting, in a small hall. The technical info kids had just amazed the professional designers. Their needs were very clear. The kids knew what they had to do at the end of the two hour meeting. Ideas started pouring in.
Next day, we got mails in the inbox, with new designs for web page, some content, some write ups, poems and of course some queries.
The logo - busy bee - had a brush in the hand first, then a pen and at the end of the discussions, it threw up all the instruments and started 'thinking'. The busy bee became a thinking bee!

Parade of dolls!
Navarathri has been my favourite festivals ever since my childhood days.
It was fun arranging the steps with tin boxes, cartons, newspapers, bricks and all things under the Sun. Those were the days we did not have ready made steps in slotted angles. We had seen the wooden steps with screws and padlocks, but.
The 'making' of the steps used to take a full day and we used to end up with placing a single 'Ganesha' idol in one of the steps just to carry over the rest of the steps to the next day.
Arranging the 'Dasavatharam' dolls always caused arguments. And the 'panchangam' was used to settle the issues - I mean the order in which they were to be placed. The 'marapachis' had the finest of the costumes made by me and my sister.
The happiest moments were dressing up in the evenings. I used to be a doll in the hands of my sister. She dressed me up with different accessories on all the nine days. Have you heard of 'tights' sari? It had an extra wrap after the pleats. With a short sling hand bag, I used to look like a foreigner in sari.
On some other day, the long plait was decorated with a pad of flower arrangements!
When I see young girls in traditional long skirts these days on such occasions, I say to myself - 'Hey, girls! There is much more than this simple pavadai during Navrathri!
