Secrets between friends...
Flora tells something in Mishti's ears in tamil (which can be heard by everyone)
They both laugh for a while and then Mishti signals Flora to come near and says another secret in her ears..which is -
"Aapne kya bola, mujhe samajh nahi aaya...hee hee hee"
And they have another round of laughter :D

Maya and her favourite bracelet!
Once upon a time there used to live a girl named Maya. One day she wanted a bracelet in the market.
She asked her Papa, "Papa can I please take this bracelet."
Maya's Papa told, "Ok Maya".
Maya was very happy. At night she kept her bracelet down and gone to bed.
That time Maya and her parents were sleeping. Suddenly a thief came. She took Maya's shining bracelet.
In the morning when Maya woke up, she saw that her bracelet is not there.
Then Maya came and asked, " Mamma, Mamma where you kept my bracelet?"
Her Mamma told, "I didn't keep it anywhere"
Then Maya told "Then how my bracelet is not there"
Mamma told Maya, "I think a thief came"
Then Mamma told, "Maya Maya, Let's call the police,"
The police caught the thief.
Maya got her bracelet and she was very happy.
Moral of the story is - Take care of your things.
*first the moral was - If thief comes, call the police. It changed to the present moral while writing it in the blog :)

Mishti - Mamma can't we make another story of Cinderella? Not the step mother one.
Mamma- Yes betu...you can make anyyyyy story you want.
Mishti - Ok Mamma, I will draw it and then tell you the story and you write it...ok?
Mamma - Ok! Done!
Mishti's story-
Cinderella learns to fly!
Once upon a time there was a fairy named Cinderella. She always used to play on the giant flowers alone.
One day she and her sisters were going to the market but Cinderella was not flying.
Her mother told, "Cinderella fly".
Cinderella told " No No Mamma, I am very scared."
Mamma told, " Try Cinderella, if you try you can fly."
Cinderella - "No No, Mamma I am very scared of flying."
Mother told Cinderella, " Try just one time, if you can't then I will help you."
Then Cinderella's mother pushed her. Cinderella fell on the ground then Cinderella's friend, Ella came.
She told Cinderella, " Come on! you hold my hand, I will help you to fly."
Cinderella told, "Ok."
So she hold Ella and told, " Ok Ella I will hold your hand."
Then they both started flying in the sky. Then when Ella left Cinderella's hand, then Cinderella learnt to fly.
Then Cinderella started flying without any help.
Moral of the story - If you try, you can do it!

Mishti has been humming and singing Robindro Sangeet with me since she started humming :) . So technically it was not the first time that she was introduced to Him.
But it was a formal introduction though...
The first story that I read to her from Tagore's collection - Kabuliwala...
'Mini' was five year old when she met her Kabuliwala and so I thought Mishti should meet him too now when she is five :).
With at least 10 questions after every para...Mishti finally understood and enjoyed Kabuliwala.
After the story was over, Mishti was running around the house screaming... "Kabuliwala.... O Kabuliwala...."
