Merry X'Mas!! I had fun

On X'mas eve, I was invited to Daddy's office for a painting competition!! I had my afternoon siesta, got ready in my red dress and wore my red santa cap. Thought this might liven up the office folks (you see, financial services businesses are going thro' a rough patch & need some livening up!).

Another good thing was that I got to travel in an auto rickshaw!! It was nice to have the breeze blowing thro' my hair...

Reached in time. Was thrilled to see daddy waiting for us.


He took me to his seat and I was allowed to take his place for some time. Well, I did contribute by clearing a few mails for him!!


Before we got started on the paintings, I did my mandatory warm-up. This helps me become more flexible and also helps me get my creative juices flowing.


I picked an abstract concept. My crayons helped me translate my thoughts into a myriad of colours...all finally merging into this esoteric concept called 'Green Revolution'!!


Mamma was a little confused and kept asking me for ideas. I did not disappoint her and gave her a simple concept called woman empowerment. She gladly accepted the idea and did a decent job :-)


The other babies were mesmerised with my concept!!

Folks at Dad's office said that I did an MF Hussain :-) They might just frame it & put it up in the director's office.

I think it was ok.
I think Mamma liked my work.
We had guests in the evening. Udit Uncle & Swati aunty. They are pretty cool.

I taught Swati aunty a few things about animals, alphabets & stuff. I must say that she is a keen learner!

Guess she was a bit foxed because of information overload!! Have decided to go slow & take her through these books in a phased manner...

Shibu,
