My Little Japanese Princess

 

Sneha is in LKG now (Lower kindergarten to the uninitiated!), and as usual her fancy dress competition generated quite a frenzy....in me, that is.

Last year's Tennis Star was a resounding success and the pressure was on me to live up to it this year too. So i toyed around with different ideas...How about an eskimo? That should be pretty unique, i thought. A rockstar was an easy choice. But a flash of brillance struck, when i remembered the Cheongsam that my mother-in-law had brought from Singapore as a gift for Sneha.

It was perfect! The fan and umbrella completed the look. The string of pearls added a touch of class. And she did it again. Hurray for me :)

My latest craze

My daughter is the center of my world. But something has come up lately that is dominating my thoughts.

A good friend mentioned a website where my husband (a graphic designer) could submit designs and stand to win a substantial amount of money. So we checked out the site, and its great, but i was hooked on to their sister site, where anyone can submit slogans (original only, please!).

That started it. Now I find myself thinking of slogans all the day long. Short ones, long ones, witty ones, and even outright dumb ones :)

Well, here are the links to my slogan. Please vote (pretty please) Click on the "I'd wear it" button and you can register on the site and submit some slogans of your own!! Scratch my back, and i'll scratch yours :)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Wouldnt it be great if one of our slogans actually got printed on a T-shirt which anyone could buy anywhere in the world? Three cheers for the internet!!

Another Ace is Served

The tennis player is back - on popular demand!!



I thought this picture was not very good, coz Sneha is not smiling in her usual way. But this is for my dear friend, Priya, who thinks the pose is really professional. So now my daughter is actually a "model player" :)

Here is another one taken when Sneha went up to the judges. My husband snapped this from behind the two judges. That explains the white patches in the foreground - those are the judges' shoulders!!!



As for the fat blimp behind Sneha, no explanation needed i hope. That's my hand.
