An update to the earlier post here: Had to visit the same consulate again today, and they have devised a permanent solution to the problem. The plastic benches have gone, and a step has been constructed (out of brick and mortar) all around the outside of the counters. Now the whole family can stand up to the counter instead of just the dad on the plastic bench shouting down at the mom for some details.

Three Little Pigs
Saw Disney's three little pigs after a long long time (23 yrs?)....amazing how the images and song stayed in my head all these years...understood the lyrics only now
:P
Here is the song (copied from some site online, not what i jotted down - the times have changed u know :)
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Tra la la la la
Long ago there were three pigs
Little handsome piggy-wigs
For the big, bad very big very bad wolf
They didn't give three figs
Number one was very gay
And he built his house of hay
With a hey hey toot
He blew on his flute
And he played around all day
Number two was fond of jigs
And so he built his house with twigs
Heigh diddle-diddle
He played on his fiddle
And danced with lady pigs
Number three said "Nix on tricks
I will build my house with bricks"
He had no chance
To sing and dance
'Cause work and play don't mix
Ha ha ha! The two little
Do little pigs just winked and laugh, ha ha!
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
Tra la la la la
Came the day when fate did frown
And the wolf blew into town
With a gruff "puff-puff" he puffed just enough
And the hay house fell right down
One and two were scared to death
Of the big bad wolfie's breath
"By the hair of your chin-ny-chin,
I'll blow you in"
And the twig house answered yes
No one left but number Three
To save the piglet family
When they knock
He fast unlocked
And said "Come in with me!"
Now they all were safe inside
And the bricks hurt wolfie's pride
So, he slid down the chimney
And, oh, by Jimney
In the fire he was fried
Ha ha ha! The three little
Free little pigs rejoice and laughed, ha ha!
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf
Big bad wolf, big bad wolf?
Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?
