Halloween Day at San Ramon

Received from Meera a set of photos showing what my grandsons, Nikhil and Siddarth, did on Halloween Day. Siddarth dressed himself as a race-car driver and Nikhil, as Teddy Bear.Siddarth is ready for a Halloween party at his school.
With a couple of friends at school. The boy next to him, it seems, would not let go his mom (or is it the other way about?) Anyway, the boys had fun showing off their fancy dress. Siddarth's race-driver's suit was ordered online; and , for a mail-ordered item, said his mother, the suit fitted Siddarth so well, as if it had been picked off the shelf and tried out at Macys.


After fun and snacks at school, Siddarth joined other children going door-to-door on their street wishing folks and collecting sweets. This year, says his mother, Siddarth couldn't do too many houses because of a drizzle. Not to disappoint the children their parents took them to the mall, where they went from shop to shop for toffees.
No, he isn't Mexican, the guy holding the kids. He is grandpa Jagannath (Pheonix thatha, to Siddarth) trying to play Halloween with the children.
Grandma Uma has her turn with Siddarth, at a family outing. Nikhil goes with his dad Ravi.
Nikhil, a quick change artist, has slipped out his teddy bear outfit to play Don of the Mysore mafia.
Siddarth here strikes a pose,with hint of a smile.
