Vijay, Sudarshan's dad had brought us lovely lamps from Kamala for Diwali. We had not used all of them We had saved them for Kartikai.
One evening Lakshmi wanted to make a stage. First till daylight she was outside and drew herself a stage alongside the gate. She shaded the whole area blue and put the pine cones for stage lights.
After it got dark she came inside and wanted to created a stage inside. She turned off the lights and we lit a tea light in a cut terracotta lamp. This was casting a lot of beautiful shadows. Then she wanted some music on. I put on the Spanish wave which was L. Subramanium with Stephan Grappelli. It would was too loud and fast she indicated in her own. She wanted "ballet music". I have a whole box of many unopened western classic music CDs that Vinod had sent. I opened one which said "Childhood Memories". It has music by many composers. She loved it. She was dancing for over an hour!
Then to get her to eat I had to leave the music on, put the candle on the table and call it candle light dinner.
