Over the last few years my kid developed a fascination for dinosaurs, after watching Jurassic Park. So we bought him a bushel load of dinosaur books.What I recently discovered was he could name all the 200 dinosaurs in this book. He can name each and every Dino just by looking at the picture. It's kinda like his superpower. Dun know what to do about this talent though. Which makes you wonder, if you had a superpower, what would you like it to be? Do post some suggestions. Should be interesting.

Tribute to Uday Shankar
My first brush with Uday Shankar was while
watching a black and white piece on Doordarshan called “Kalpana”(imagination)
with my grandmother in law. The short film was mesmerizing in its use of light
and shade and dance movements. The next piece was on the “Industrial revolution”,
also a very interesting choreography. After that I became a regular lurker at
all of the performances by the Shankar family. His legacy is still being
carried out by his wife (Amala Shankar), daughter (Mamata Shankar) and his
daughter in law (Tanusree Shankar).

Tanusree Shankar Dance Recital
We went to a scintillating dance performance by
the famous Tanusree Shankar Dance Academy. Needless to say it took our breath
away. The lighting, the music and the choreography were beautifully executed.
They performed a piece called “The Child”, which was stunning and inspiring. You
can check out some of Tanusree Shankar Dance Academy performances on youtube, though
the videos don’t really do justice to the actual impact of a live performance.

Epilator
I finally found this chin hair epilator, Epitravel by Morphy Richards. It’s superb, easy to use and fast. It’s great for the sensitive skin on the face and jaw. I nicked myself a couple of times initially, but once I got the hang of it, it was silky smooth. I would definitely recommend this product. Other than that I have a Braun Silk Epil for the arms and legs, and have been using that for nearly 15 years. Saves a lot trips to the Salon not to mention the money saved.
