Mia: Be intellectually stimulated from our recent collection of Lifestyle, Self- development, Fiction and Children books
(it's an advert for their bookfair stall)
Aishwarya: ah.. :D
Mia: intellectually stimulated by children books
and i had thought that the day would never come
Aishwarya: I am!
Mia: how do children books grow up?
Aishwarya: they don't

Aishwarya: illiterate in the ways of christian indoctrination you are
Mia: but i can sing twenty hymns

i find the translation of 'my lord is true' utterly fascinating
Aishwarya: LOL yes
Mia: unless whoever wrote it actually meant 'my lord is real'

Aishwarya: LOL
Mia: i am sure there was another hindi hymn, can't remember the lines, though
oh, do you know, i also know the russian do re mi song?
Aishwarya: I knew one in gaelic at one point. :P

Mia: and a hindi militant song praising netaji
my god, no wonder i have turned out strange.
Aishwarya: :O
Mia: considering what was being drilled into my head in my pre-pubescent and early adolescent days
Aishwarya: poor darling
Mia: oh shite, i just remembered the bhakti geeti style bangla hymn
Aishwarya: hm?
