Nagesh, Swaroop, Giri and Abhiram taking a break from learning how to swim in the big pool.
Dharmishta, Sangametra and Gururaj, the youngest in the team, test the waters.
Excited about the idea of going to school and yet, quietly scared of being left behind, Sangametra was all pony tails, track pants, and white shoes on the first day of school. She goes to the kindergarten in the same Tamil school that Giri goes to. This is just across from where we live in Palm Court. Well then, that's all our three kids in school. Hari is in Form Five, Giri in Standard Two, and this girl poised to take the school by storm when she goes into Year One.
This week she brought back this little work she did in school, and has begun to talk to me endlessly in Tamil gibberish. Of course, I had to make the necessary replies in Tamil gibberish as well.
Hari had just turned two. In January 1994, Swamiji took Geetha, Hari, me and a colleague, Shankar, to Orissa. Already you can see how Swamiji loved Hari, then. Upon our return, Geetha and I created the Temple of Fine Arts first Odissi production. This year, in November, Geetha goes to Orissa again, to learn something new...
