She and Harry Potter

For the past few months, Kavya has developed a liking to listening to stories and trying to use pieces of them in the everyday life..Once she listened to the story of how Ganesha got his elephant head..She saw the Bal Ganesh video and the next thing she does is this -

She dances a few steps, calls it Rudra Thaandi (Rudra thandavam of Shiva when he gets angry with Ganesha for not letting him into his own house)

Then she raises her hand and makes a waving action which calls for whichever person in front of her to fall down (The way Shiva beheads Ganesha)

She then keeps her hand the way Gods bless us, and says Om Namo Namashivaaya (Shiva is blessing Ganesha to become alive)

The fallen person needs to get up and then she will come running to that person and hug him/her while calling Ganeshaaaaa...

Its so much fun to watch her do this, all her chithis keep asking her to do this all the time :-)

Now, she got bored of it in a while...Amma started to watch Harry Potter movies for timepass and Kavya watched it with her...She was hooked to it from the very first time..EVerytime HP comes on screen she used to say Hari Poter..Then one day she asked Amma to tell her the story of Harry Potter..She wanted to know who Dumbledore was...Now she promptly says that Dumbledore is HP's teacher and Ron, Hermione are HP's friends :-) She even weaves her own stories around HP sometimes...We were lighting mathaapoo yesterday..She held it in her hand, saw it for a while and said, Amma paaru Kavyaoda Wand...Amma became so excited and both of them kept saying Illuminus Maximus until the box of mathapoo got over :-)
