My Kid's Super Power

Over the last few years my kid developed a fascination for dinosaurs, after watching Jurassic Park. So we bought him a bushel load of dinosaur books.What I recently discovered was he could name all the 200 dinosaurs in this book. He can name each and every Dino just by looking at the picture. It's kinda like his superpower. Dun know what to do about this talent though. Which makes you wonder, if you had a superpower, what would you like it to be? Do post some suggestions. Should be interesting.

Tribute to Uday Shankar

My first brush with Uday Shankar was while watching a black and white piece on Doordarshan called “Kalpana”(imagination) with my grandmother in law. The short film was mesmerizing in its use of light and shade and dance movements. The next piece was on the “Industrial revolution”, also a very interesting choreography. After that I became a regular lurker at all of the performances by the Shankar family. His legacy is still being carried out by his wife (Amala Shankar), daughter (Mamata Shankar) and his daughter in law (Tanusree Shankar).

Tanusree Shankar Dance Recital

We went to a scintillating dance performance by the famous Tanusree Shankar Dance Academy. Needless to say it took our breath away. The lighting, the music and the choreography were beautifully executed. They performed a piece called “The Child”, which was stunning and inspiring. You can check out some of Tanusree Shankar Dance Academy performances on youtube, though the videos don’t really do justice to the actual impact of a live performance.

Lord of the Rings

This one’s a quote of a poem. …

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

        

Epilator

I finally found this chin hair epilator, Epitravel by Morphy Richards. It’s superb, easy to use and fast. It’s great for the sensitive skin on the face and jaw. I nicked myself a couple of times initially, but once I got the hang of it, it was silky smooth. I would definitely recommend this product. Other than that I have a Braun Silk Epil for the arms and legs, and have been using that for nearly 15 years. Saves a lot trips to the Salon not to mention the money saved.
