The humorous stories of the Mughal Emperor Akbar and his favorite advisor Birbal are very popular in India, and are widely enjoyed by both children and adults. Zaraawar Mistry performs entertaining stories of wit and wisdom with Greg Herriges providing live musical accompaniment. Interwoven into the cultural aspects of the storytelling are a series of questions and clever riddles that encourage children to sharpen their wits. Ages 5+. 45 minutes.

Zaraawar and Greg have performed stories for audiences at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, St. Paul Public Library, Hosmer Library (Minneapolis), and for students from schools such as Richfield Elementary, Galtier Elementary (St. Paul) and Lake Country Montessori (Minneapolis).

Hindi Kindergarten is starting next week

Dear SILCers:

As you all are aware, Hindi Level 1 class now has both preschoolers and first graders.

We are happy to announce that a new section of Hindi class for Preschoolers and Kindergartners will be started from next week (11/14/2009)

Thanks to Pamela, Umesh and Shiv for working out the logistics; Shiv Bhatia has stepped up to volunteer to teach this class. The class will be held in the cafetaria.

Giving special attention to our little ones is an excellent idea and I see that 10 preschoolers have already signed up for this class. Please spread the word to the other parents about this new offering at SILC.

Yours sincerely
Siva Jasthi
