Ekagra's most favorite cartoon characters are Krishna and Mickey.He loved the Little Krishna shows aired in Nick sometime back. He'd stop crying if this show started in the TV. We recorded some of these using our handycam. Then we bought VCDs of all the episodes when these were available in the market. There were six DVDs packed in three titles called: Vrindavan, Warrior and Wondrous Feats. We'd play these during his lunch or dinner time. But then he started asking for these Little Krishna shows at any random time. We couldn't watch any other program in TV! Switch on the TV and he would demand Little Krishna. He would even go behind the TV to connect the audio-out and video-out wires!
Ekagra has recently caught a Mickey-mania. We bought him a story book of Mickey-Mouse when he was six months old. So he recognizes Mickey character since his early days. The latest craze started with a t-shirt that we bought for him a few months back from Toys-n-Toys. This dark blue t-shirt contains a picture of Mickey mouse. All the time he wants to wear this Mickey t-shirt. In the morning when we change his dress for school, he wants that. If he is wearing that in the night and we want to change his dress before going to bed, he resists and creates big tantrums. He'll wake up in the morning to watch the Mickey mouse clubhouse show. Ekagra has started chanting the magic password: "Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse". He loves the Hot Dog song and would dance to the tune of this song.

I guess that day is not very far off when Ekagra will tell me: "Deuta, take me to Disney Land". :-)
