Proud: Ramesh Jasood, Sakshi's uncle, is the inspiration behind her dahi handi pyramid feats. pic/bipin Kokate

Sakshi Jasood (5) has probably added a few inches to her diminutive frame since Sunday. If not physically, at least mentally, for she was at the apex of the nine-tier dahi handi pyramid at Thane's Vartak Nagar this year. When she broke the handi, she ensured the Ganeshotsav Mandal Tadwadi, Mazagaon, of the prize money of Rs 11,11,111.

And in doing that, she broke the record of eight tiers held across dahi handi mandals across Mumbai.

"I am very happy we did it and I wasn't worried at all," grins Sakshi, who has been scaling pyramids for the last two years.

Said her uncle Ramesh Jasood, who has been her inspiration, "She is a quiet, but confident girl and I'm proud she managed this."
