OK, one more confession. I don’t just love playing with toys, I am also a cartoon addict, which is not something that goes down too well with peers in my age group. I picked up this Doremon toy off the road, just turn the key and he skips. If you flip him over, he manages…

Before Thee I Bow!
OK, I confess, I love toys, and I indulge in a McDonalds Happy Meal, only if the toy appeals to me. That’s how I ended up with this Baby Po figurine, from Kungfu Panda 2. His natural pose it such that if you make him sit, he tends to crouch. So, if he ever decides…
