Random Note: Kajal is a fairly quiet girl, and is not easily shaken by most anything. Although she did not know any English upon coming to the home, she has shown impressive academic progress, and now holds her own in English-medium school! Kajal is versatile in the sense that she is perfectly content to sit quietly and play or draw by herself for hours, but also has a goofy side that comes out when she follows around the Didis and mimics their every move, becomes a little diva in front of the camera, and enthusiastically participates in singing and dancing sessions.
