Menndi, the Ira way



It is a rather gloomy day in Bangalore and am working on some behavioral analysis report for a client.

Sudden urge to look through the phone gallery and i see some pictures that captures something new that Ira and I did this month.

Ira has had mehandi put on her hands during some festivals at school and from a neighbour aunt. This holiday we got a mehandi cone when we met Aruna aunty and Trisha didi. Ira also learnt about the fascinating fevicol strip with glitter from Trisha and slept with that strip the next few days.

Mehandi cone was gifted and like Ira said, "Mamma, you have to put menndi for me"! We appointed a specific day and time for the activity.

So, Mamma tried her best. We made a spiral web and flowers, love symbol and pine tree leaves. While a part of me was worried about the crooked lines, Ira loved it and showed it off to friends and families alike.

We already have decided that we need to buy mehandi next holiday too because we love mehandi hands. Papa who has no love for the mehandi aroma was made to sniff her hands and tell her how awesome it is and well, Papa obliged!

Parenting makes you do things and parenting makes you feel you are the most artistic person in the world, thanks to those glimmering eyes and happy smiles.
