Passing Thoughts...

Ok, the headlines. I am 5..I now study at GIIS, a much bigger school. I am now living at the new house, which is now not so new. I am with my mom, achachan and achamma. Yes, I miss my achan. I am sure he misses me too :-( Lots of things have happened, since I wrote to you last. The good things are that my hair has grown big now. I am a little big girl. I spend my days watching TV and playing with Devu, who comes home after her school. I am looking forward to my trip to Dubai. Amma told me that we will go to Dubai and join Achan, may be after a few weeks. Don't know why he went. Yes, I liked Dubai. I had been there last time on vacation. Didn't like Dino..err..actually I like him, but I am scared. But, for me, I love being with my family, the best place is where you have the best company to spend time with. If that's Dubai, so be it. A few months before he left for Dubai, we all went to Wayanad to spend some good time together. I enjoyed the stay. I enjoyed...

  Peep into my life..  This was on my 'Choroonu' day. Taken at HAL temple on 24th Aug 2008. This is the first time I was given rice to eat and it is a big celebration..!  A big turn in my life...I actually turned..! 16th Aug 2008. My mom was prompt enough to capture this..thank you Amma..!  Choroonu or rice eating ceremony..!  Don't I look cute in this? This is my first Onam..24th Aug 2008,this dress was bought in Guruvayur when Achachan and Achamma went there. I was all thrilled to see this golden color..and of course, Onam was grand.. 17th Feb 2011. My annual day. The teachers had made elaborate preparation. I was supposed to be a nightingale. Here I am waiting for my turn. Was keen to know if Amma, Achan, Achamma and Achachan are watching..

 Gods..they are! Today was Gauri Pooja and tomorrow is Ganesh Chathurti. Big festival for my mom..and more than anyone else for Ajja Appooppa..we went to select the idols of Ganesh and Gauri..you can pick your god..all of them looked equally good to me. I guess this is my fourth Ganesh festival..i vaguely remember the last one. I get to wear pavada..and get to see a lot of people. It is an elaborate pooja for us.   Awesome threesome.. I have been quite busy over the last few weeks. Ananya and Aniketh were here. We had fun. Ofcourse, we fought..who will not? I had to protect my toys at any cost..and the attention. But, we became good friends. Ananya Chechi was quite good..we hit it off pretty well..she taught me the rhymes and I taught her all my tricks. Aniketh is a real cool dude..I taught him how to scream and how to get angry for the smallest of things. I guess he picked it up pretty well.   Like last time, we all went for a small trip. This time it...

Yeah....2011. I enjoyed. I really enjoyed. I did not know anything about all this. I just heard Achan and Amma discussing about what we should do for the 'New Year'. I was wondering too..what can be more exciting..for me going out on a drive is exciting..just relaxing on Ammas lap..listening to my favourite music and slowing falling asleep is as exciting as anything else. I find playing 'Ku..Ki' with achan exciting..he hides and I find him..very exciting. I find making bubbles very exciting..I always want to hold the soap solution in my hand and invariably spill it..that's exciting too..Playing in the water..I can do that for a whole day..and each moment is exciting..finally...being with my family..Achamma, Achachan, Ajja Appoppa, Ammamma, Amma, Achan..I find that very exciting.. But, my parents were searching for something more, I guess. They were happy..there was Nupur Paachi and Mikku Pachi. lot of things to eat and drink. My father set up Karaoke. People...

I am not again going to blame my father for not writing for more than a year now. I have been telling him my stories..it is just that he has not found time. Hah..I see that the last you heard from me was way back in Aug 2009. Jesus..I was such a young baby then. Too many things have happened in my life since then. Not to worry, I can give you some interesting updates. Ok, let me start from today and then go back. Currently I am at my Ajja's house. My mom and Nupur Pachi are planning for some thing for new year. I wonder why Achan is not here. He sure wants to do something, but, as usual, looks confused. He probably has left it to Amma to decide. The most important update from me is about my school. It is called 'Roots to Wings'. Just about 5 minutes from my home. I did not know this concept called 'school'. One day my parents took me to this place and this place was a little weird for me. A lot of kids who look like me, some of them crying. I thought my par...

Hi there, this is Arpita, writing in my dad's blog. Have not been in touch for a long time. My dad told me he was too busy to write for me...and I believed him..any way, some times it's nice that there is a long gap. I have so many stories to tell you, starting with my own very first birthday..!!! You know frankly, i liked this concept. You guys celebrating birthdays, out here on this planet. I think its good to remember these special occasions. I could make out some thing was on, i went to see a couple of places with my parents..looked like hotels..i wanted to tell them...take it easy guys..its no big deal.. I am not really a party kind of a person...I was quite Ok with a quiet dinner with my parents and grand parents..but I kept quiet looking at my dad and mom..more than me, it was a big occassion for them. I could not help getting excited..seeing their excitement. My mom planned for this more than her own wedding, I must say. We booked the hall at Chinnaswamy Stadium,...

Wow!! that was some travelling..! I didn't know what was happening. I woke up last Saturday, only to find my mom, ready with one of the most uninteresting things that human beings have invented - a nappy pad. Before I could even shout a big NO, I was given a fresh coat of cream with powder sprinkled all over. Normally, these things happen during the weekend when we go to the nearest Cosmos mall (see I even got to know the name..!) as some ritual which my parents observe. But, this time it was different. Before I could even even start analysing what was was happening, I was in the car, along with the fellow passengers and a truck load of stuff. My father was giving directions, as if he is going to fly an Airbus 360. I realised it was something more than a visit to the mall, and I was happy for that. After a gruesome 8 hour drive, where I had to experience something similar to that of a space travel, we reached a hot and stuffy place - Kerala. It was kind of nice. The first day I w...
