GroundHog Day

 | May 25th 2006 - Have you seen the movie GroundHog Day where the hero relives the same day over and over again. My life seems to be going the same way. I wake up at around 5 AM, have some food, sleep, wake up at 7, eat, play all day, sleep at 9 PM. How long can this go on? Basically I just hassle my mother to hold me. I am a really naughty behind my innocent face. In the evening my dad gets home and then he plays with me for a while. I love talking to him with my own baby talk. After that we sit and watch the NBA games. Right now, the NBA Conference Finals are going on. Its Miami vs Detroit in the Eastern Conference and Dallas vs Phoenix in the Western Conference. Today Detroit beat Miami and the series is tied 1-1. Hopefully this cycle breaks soon. |

 | 24th May, 2006 - Today was the finale of American Idol Season 5. The two finalists were Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee. Both gave a great show last night and I was not sure who would emerge the winner. I watched the entire show and my mom had a tough time feeding me as I kept turning my head to watch the TV. The fans registerd 63 million votes, now thats a lot of phone calls. In the end Taylor Hicks won. I had a great time watching the show, although it made no sense to me. Maybe next season, I will appreciate some of the music. Otherwise it was a pretty slow day, I spent all day at home playing with the toys. Lets hope my parents take me out tomorrow. Looking forward to the long weekend. |

 | 18th May 2006 - This was the big day in Vegas, we did a lot of activities today. We woke up and went down to the restaurants for breakfast. We had a hearty breakfast at Nathan's. After that, I sat and watched as most of the grown ups went and gambled. It was a great sight for me, to see all those shiny lights and the sound of money. I can only go to the casinos after 21 years . My father then took my cousins, aunt and Uncle to Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. It was a really hot day with the temperatures well over 100 F and the returned home quickly. For lunch, we went Chin Chin, a Chinese restaurant in the New York, New York Casino. Ney York, New York is a new casino built on the New York theme. The hotel has the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, Brooklyn Bridge etc etc. We had a nice leisurely lunch. |

 | 20th May 2006 - Saturday morning, we all went to Universal Studios in Hollywood. Universal Studios Hollywood is a theme park in Los Angeles where the rides, shows and other events are based on movies made by the Universal Studios company. The park is about 30 minutes away from where we live and my father made two trips to get everyone there. It was very crowded and there were lots of people there. Once we got there, we took the Universal Studio Tour which is basically a 45 minute trolley ride through the studio backlot. If you are a movie fan, this is truly a fun ride. |

17th May 2006 - Viva Las Vegas!! My mother's sister, her husband and her two kids are visiting from India and they wanted to see Vegas before they returned to India so all of us went for a 3-day vacation to Las Vegas. My mother, grandparents and I took a flight to Las Vegas and my father drove to Vegas with them. That was my first flight ever and I had a great time. It was Southwest flight 1156, fairly short about 50 minutes. I was a good baby, did not cry at all. Once we reached Vegas, we took a shuttle and went to the Monte Carlo Casino and Hotel. It was a pretty nice hotel as you can see in the picture. |
