navaratri festival dasera dasara

Navaratri festival 
I am enjoying the days during Navaratri festival by making visits to homes of grandma's friends & neighbors.  Navaratri (meaning 9 nights) or Dasera is a hindu festival celebrated all over in India.  Navaratri is a 10 day celebration event, the last day being called Vijayadashami day.  During this 10 day period dolls are arranged and kept in an attractive way.  Happy Dusera to all.

my first ever school

My school

My sister Vivardhini needed to be joined in a school here in Mysore for Upper Kindergarten class.  Hence, Mom took her and me to a nearby school today.  Today Viva joined the new school.  Mom has also admitted me to my first ever school.  Today is the first day of my official schooling.  I have joined for pre-nursery class.  This is also my first ever school.  It is good, clean, neat and teachers are very nice. It is at arm's length from Grandpa and Ajji's (grandma) home, yet, mom takes us by auto-rickshaw to school from home and brings us back in auto-rickshaw to home from school.  

We have holidays on every Saturday and Sunday.  We both are having fun at school.
