My First Real Gig

My daddy had a kirtan/qawwali gig in New Jersey. I went along since it was Saturday and only an hour away. As you can see, I loved it! They had huge crystal singing bowls, and there was a little boy I liked playing with, Shamananda. He is three and a half. I loved his mama, Dhanya, immediately. I went right to her with open arms and asked her for a bit of apple later. I danced and sang and ran around and gave kisses and slept in the sling. Then we went and ate dosas and idlis and chaat afterwards. It was my first real gig as a walking, "talking" person.
