She is 6 years old and hates her classical dance classes but loves bollywood dance numbers. So the 1 hour dance class is split into 30 minutes of classical lessons followed by a bollywood bonus in the 2nd half. Apart from pickig up an art, the 1 hour of prespiration is also intended to free her from the seemingly harmless comment 'she is on the healthier side'.
She adores 'hannah montana'. Why? 'because she is a pop star!'
So? 'she is rocking!' she said with her eyes wide open fluttering over rows of 'hannah montana' branded frocks, jackets and accessories - all of them PINK. All her class mates have 'HM' branded clothes or school bags. She managed to get the 'HM' clothes this time with a promise for a school bag during next visit.
Its not something new that kids want to be like grown ups. But these rows of branded pink sequenced dreams for sale is a highway to that pseudo-adulthood. A few rows across, women (housewives, mothers, aunts, professionals) were drifting through flowery prints - to restore the lost girly days.

brought a smile to my face :)...it is ironical, isn't it, that when we are kids, we pretend-play the grown-ups and their lives- be it the kitchen sets, doctor-set, even babies which cry to be fed....and when we grow up, we want to go back to those golden years when we were only too happy 'pretending'...
