They were truly horrified when they saw Kansa killing the new born babies of his sister. They went on about it for days...any programme like that on a normal TV channel would have given it an 'A' rating for the violence or atleast a 'PGR'. I had a hard time explaining as they knew it had to do with birth of 'Krishna' who is a GOD !<BR/><BR/>Will try to do your tag, though I haven't planned even for the next year yet!<BR/><BR/>Wish you a Happy New Year !Indian in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11775633461738007949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241150764547952609.post-59707271269817021622008-01-04T12:26:00.000-05:002008-01-04T12:26:00.000-05:00TA - And I am all blogged out... but in competiton...TA - And I am all blogged out... but in competiton..

I am not sure children at any age should watch such movies!!!<BR/>TA - Lets hope so... this generation is growing up to be so independent... that we need to be good friends for them to share everything with us.. My mom was a very good friend to us, so I hope I can do the same.<BR/>TA - I cant agree more!<BR/>Aryan - 6 is very important... esp for our kids who grow up without knowing about the less privileged.<BR/>As for 9 yeah thats a very fond dream!!<BR/>Vishnu - Tom and Jerry is not for 3 yr olds... he needs to be older to understand the comedy in it..He does watch Barney and Sesame Street that should do for now!!Preethihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10943344283863649487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241150764547952609.post-64690994423555979092008-01-02T11:40:00.000-05:002008-01-02T11:40:00.000-05:00ur forbidding tom and jerry!!he is missing out on ...ur forbidding tom and jerry!!he is missing out on a lot..let him see the less violent ones and anyways he sure would realize soon that throwing something as huge as a piano on someone isnt quite possible :D. . .10 years :O u sure are well planned !!!!i have no clue what i wud be doing in the next 2 years forget 10 years will try ur tag though:(Fantasies of a Lifetimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08643784245301592548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241150764547952609.post-63844978627219223072008-01-01T23:38:00.000-05:002008-01-01T23:38:00.000-05:00Let me commment on planning ahead..I liked your Po...Let me commment on planning ahead..<BR/>I liked your Point 6—Giving back..Wow that is so nice of you.
