It is that time of the year again - the school year is out! Or mostly! And of course, how can you not get my little update regarding the Super Cool - Bengaluru - South of the Border - Nilekani - Khannas!
The kids are awesome - and are growing progressively taller and thinner! Of course, I worry myself sick about it! I don't know how to get their body to absorb nutrients and fat - and for the life of me - I don't know how to get MY body to NOT do it!
This year is a little off - for Arjun! The poor thing is still toiling through Grade 7. Not only did he do great in his ICSE curriculum and took his final exams last month (Yaaaaaay!) - but now he is continuing through with IGCSE Grade 7. This is a 'bridge course' - to help him change curriculum to IGCSE from next academic year. He is not too happy about it because while his ICSE friends are playing in the sun, he still goes to school!!
But he is braving it out - like a trooper! He is making new friends, learning new things. Of course - he is a multi-tasker! Arjun ran the group relay at the Bengaluru Midnight Marathon in December and and drove his team to the bronze status! He has been consistently getting certificates of merit in Biology, Physics and Chemistry - history repeats, eh Ajay? He is gunning for Black Belt status in Kung-fu in July! If you find him drumming on a table or a surface all the time, it is because he is playing tabla kaydas in his head a lot!
Ana whips through her competitive exams - be it ASSET, annual athletic meets, SAMVIT inter school competition, national olympiad, or clay modeling! Her demeanor is focused and competitive. She thinks her best talent is singing - but she takes Bharatnatyam lessons, holds a blue belt in Kung-fu and her room is full of creative craft work! Her school thinks she is fabulous and an 'A' student!
Krish is the home bully - and he is hilarious! He bullies Arjun and Ana now - apart from the adults! He wears a Krish 3 mask to bed, dances with abandon to all tunes and lip-syncs to all songs - always creating music in his head! He is a combination of Spiderman, Krish 3, Jeevan and Bheem from Mahabharat - depending on the time of the day! His school thinks he has great talent with Math and blocks. He grows plants and helps with composting in the garden. He wants to sell Ace Khanna (the dog) - to buy 2 baby squirrels!
