Chennai
"Thursday Talks" are being held in various Montessori schools in Chennai on the last Thursday of every month. They are intended to cover subjects that relate to various aspects of child development. Yesterday's talk titled ‘Language development in children – from birth to twelve years of age’ was delivered by Carla Foster, Norway.

My mother attended it and found it reinforcing most things that most parents follow. It touched upon humour and sarcasm as a child sees it and how we must not thwart it. Also the lecture was delivered very effectively by the speaker without any visual aids!

The Hindu's November Music fest has been announced and the Korean band and Osibisa sound inviting.

Nalandaway which has really nice ads on air, is sponsoring a Children's fest this November first week.

Mumbai
The Kala Ghoda festival where handicrafts abound is on the anvil. Hope Blogeswari will bring us an update soon
There is a Children's film fest as well in Mumbai for all you mommy bloggers there

Delhi
There is a kids theatre fest which I am sure adults can also enjoy- I do wish I was there in Delhi right now
