She has monologues with God these days...
The topics would always be about making her stronger than her friends so that she can defeat them in fights (which never happens).
She even complains that God never fulfilled her wishes as she still looses:(

Dhoom 3 has had lot of influence on her.
The other day she explained major transformations that could be made in her toy bike just like in the movie.
She wants to learn Gymnastics just like her "Shila shila" (who is none other than Shiela ki jawani Katrina).
She doesn't know watching a movie and getting influenced is a luxury which she would get very rarely.
But at the same time she wants to be a astronaut too.

Now, that watching TV is gone from her routine list she has more time for playing and studying.
Yesterday she uttered a new word which she learned from her teacher "backlogs"!!! for falling back in completing her classwork as she was absent.

Her tantrums and anger are still in tact.
She was angry with daddy for getting a scooter for mamma and not her. That's when she got a toy bike and she designed the Dhoom 3 concept.
She was angry with both of us as we going out of station on the same day when she had to go for a picnic from school and she missed. She had her bag, snacks (self- made chapathi wrapped in foil paper) and sweater ready for that event.

She is a great story teller- both made up and actual events.
When at ammamma's house she narrated a story relating to her classmate and said he had gone Sonapur.
Nobody knew where Sonapur was- not even her father (except me as I knew where it came from).
In the end, ammamma asked me where this Sonapur was. And had to tell it's a place referred to in Chota Bheem:)
Had my presence not been there nobody would even know where that Sonapur was.

Devotion

I have never been a beleiver of God. But my girl seems to be my opposite.
Though it is difficult to say about the 'belief' part at this age but the 'ritual' part she performs without any mistakes and inhibitions.
I too am forced to perform those rituals which i wouldn't do otherwise.
The best example would be our 'daily' visit to the temple. I never go to temples until and unless i am asked by someone.
But for Anvitha a visit to the temple during our daily evening walks is a must.
Joining her palms for 'namaskaar', taking 'teertha','aarti' and 'prasada', performing the 'pradakshina'- everything has to be perfect for her.
Recently she has learned to do her pradakshina not only in the temple but around the 'tulsi' plant too.
She doesn't miss out on chanting of 'mantras' while doing all this.
Though in her own language mantras are a new addition to her practices.
All in all she's carefully practicing my part of the rituals too.
