Anush gave this to the Kalpakkam paati whose golu we went to- she coloured it in so patiently I was amazed.Would you not wish to save trees? Use arty looking paper? Recycle? Do you love elephants?Maybe you can patronize this.
We scouted for Golu dolls this weekend and went to Khadi (a treasure trove) and Poompuhar a( a waste) . We finally visited Mylapore for a "doll auction" on the road side. Very exciting experience!! I am told we must go to Kuralagam ( Parrys) and to VTI which is also hosting a craft bazaar.
Also caught up with
- friends over dinner and lunch
- Bachna ae haseeno and Rock on ( i adore Arjun Rampal)
And yes, Kiddy Dumb charades is very entertaining . Try it.
As for the title of the post, much as I decided I will enjoy work in this romantic weather ( it has been raining here) , the number game has started yet again....
