I have a story to tell you!
Children, have you heard of Mickey Mouse?
Yeah!
Now, have you heard of Val-Mickey Mouse?
Naaah!
Booo!
Shooo!
Ha ha! This is how the story telling workshop(as a part of launch of two Tulika books, Vyasa's Mahabharath and Hanuman's Ramayan) started.
House full of kids. I and Benjie struggling to handle them. But nevertheless, we did a good job. We had a real good time!
The Authors' of the books were really happy to see us enliven the characters in their books by becoming Banana trees, Bridge, Musk rat, Ganesha, Cat, Hanuman and what not!
We goofed up here and there because the kids were hyper-active. Whatever it was, it was fun! Children are these lovely little things! Such a nice feeling it left in the end! After all, that is the most important thing. Right?

Absolutely. Nothing like being around kids. Sad i was not able to make it that evening. Bags packed with camera gear and ready to go and then come relatives, the annoying ones. Sigh! Next time maybe if im in town :-)
Ya it was fun to watch too! The kids were amazingly interactive. Their sense if understanding made me to feel bad of myself. Not even a bit, I was like them in my childhood days...
the animated face of the performers, the zeal of the kids, the whole concept ( vettaikaran, avatar, Val-miki hahaha)

The whole performance in the evening could be said in one word
