Manha

Guess what colour we selected to paint our nails with? Manha! Yes a sparkling canary yellow. Seemed very funny while we saw it standing next to the different other similar colours. There was a nice apple green, a shocking electric blue and a rather strange colour neither purple nor violet. Im happy this store didn't have many of the glittering ones!

Our mission was to get a colour to paint our nails to break the boredom of clean fresh ones Ria had to stick to for lessons on cleanliness. Well she got bored stiff with my lectures and finally I had to get her a bottle of nail polish, because all her friends had remanants of some fancy colours on their nails.

I opted for green as it looked earthy. Ri preffered the yellow. Seems out of the world to me, a little Martian kind! But after three days with it, it seems pretty acceptable. Isn't that a cosmic law?

In any case it was not a bad buy at all. We painted first on Riz (please read that as reeeez) toe nails, which seemed quite OK and then her finger nails, which seemed "Hey, kinda coool!"

The best part of this buy was that Anna , my smaller one, learnt to say Manha, (Yellow, in Malayalam).(Pronounced : ma'nha - like the sound of 'ng' in orange) Energised with that revelation, we painted all her tiny nails and she went about saying manha, manha... Nice way to learn!!!

Show her a dry leaf now and she chweetly chirps Manha!
