Teach India
Teach India is a nation-building initiative (or social initiative) from the Times of India that brings together children in need of education and people who can contribute a little time towards teaching them. It is based on one simple principle: If you have the desire to teach, they will put you in touch with underprivileged children who are willing to learn. With over sixty of India’s committed NGOs, corporates, schools and social organizations already supporting our cause, they now look for selfless individuals to come forward and help change the future of a child forever, by giving just a few hours a week to Teach India.

Taashi
After Taashu, if there is someone who Diya keeps chanting about, its her friend and classmate Saakshi. She keeps chanting her name 'Taashi' these days. Today, there was a parents-teachers meeting at the school. I was made to wait for long before my turn came (last!). But, the delay helped. Diya found time to play with Saakshi and Prithvi. Saakshi received Diya fondly by extending her hand. Seems Saakshi also chanting Diya's name all day.
Playing Rhymes
Diya's favourite entertainer these days, the Rhymes CD in Malayalam language. Girija has sent it from Delhi, and Diya can spend her whole day watching it. Diya, may be wondering the same rhymes being taught in the school too.

Three Stages of Sleeping
If you are trying to put someone to sleep, there are three stages:
Stage 1: You try to make some one sleep
Stage 2: You get sleep
Stage 3: Finally you get sleepy and the other one is wide awake

Birthday function at School
Diya celebrated her birthday with her class mates by distributing chocolates.
Diya's 2nd Birthday!
Diya woke up and we all wished "Happy Birthday". I took Diya to the car and picked all the birthday gifts. She was very surprised. She was excited with all the gifts. Then she got ready, had cake cutting. She was very thrilled with all the attention.

Diya's birthday tomorrow
Tomorrow is Diya’s birthday. I am very excited to see this girl growing and having joined school. I certainly get mesmerized for her innocent smile. She has started picking words and by next birthday she must be speaking full-fledged language.
There is no grand party as such at home and I have not invited anybody. Diya is not keeping well recently, catches cold very often and has become very cranky.
So, it’s a in-house celebration (aathoda vechikalaamnu)
I have bought cake; the store person has written “Divya” on the cake instead of “Diya”.
There are some surprise gifts for Diya for tomorrow. I have kept them in the car.
Nobody at home has clues about it.
