Grandma's Dancing Stars

“Speaker on hotey hi dono kudh hi nachna shuru kar dete hain. Hum bhi unke saath nach lete hai maze se.” (“They both start dancing as soon as the speaker gets turned on. We too dance together with them”) said Grandmother.

A single speaker on the wall gifted by the kids’ bua (aunt) gets switched on from time to time. It plays their native Gadwali songs and the brothers can be seen dancing excitedly to the beats. They are often joined by their grandmother and together the trio happily dance away! This activity sometimes gets a unique makeover where the brothers use their sunglasses as a prop to make it look as if it’s a part of their costume. While grandma led the dance, her grandchildren followed her lead and tried to mimic her steps in their own way!
