The kids are glued to a tv show about Indian epics. Imitating one hero, Tuneer is especially happy when he puts a small rope "tail" in his waistband and turns into the Monkey God, Hanuman (A god was angry at Hanuman, so ordered that Hanuman's tail be lighted. Hanuman lengthened his tail, then escaped and set fire to large parts of Lanka.)
Tuneer, as Hanuman, can be very wild around the house, like any monkey would, with his tail on fire.
But sometimes, he wears a straw hat, straddles the foot of the bed, puts the rope around the bedpost and rides this "horse".
Trisha is quieter, watching the very dramatic regular tv show. Also likes Indian Idol.
