 | Nov 9th, 2006 - Today I am going to Hyderabad, which is the city where my father's side of the family lives. My great-grandmother, yes great-grandmother, lives there and is longing to see me. My seeing her was one of the biggest reasons we came to India. I was up early at 5 AM and so we were able to go to the airport well in time. My father had booked the tickets on Kingfisher Airlines, which is one of the new low cost airlines in India. My parents were surprised that there was no baggage allowance for babies, but the nice lady waived the excedd baggage fee. The flight was nice and smooth and I seemed to have a good time on the flight. I did not fall asleep and was very excited during the flight. |
My grandmother's brother (so technically my grandfather) Kamanu-ajja
had come to receive us at the airport. Their home is very close to the airport
and we reached home in a few minutes. Although my grandmother wanted to see me, she
cannot see me right away because a certain function had to be completed before she can
see me. The function was at 5 PM and we reached at noon, so she and I sat in separate
rooms till the function.
Learning to Crawl

 | Nov 8th, 2006 - Looks like I am getting used to the Indian Standard Time (IST) (it does not mean that I will be late). I woke up at around 7 AM and spent the day doing masti. I have started crawling today. There is plenty of space in the house and I have slowly started crawling. In the evening, my father's friend Amiya came to visit me. He bought me this big softtoy dog, called ChiChi. I was more interested in playing with the gift-wrap than play with the toy. I am sure eventually I will like the toy. Also, later in the evening, my father's friend Parag's wife Laaj came to visit us. She came to Bangalore for some training and stopped over to visit us. Unfortunately, I fell asleep by the time she came so I could not play with her. I will probably play with her when I get to Mumbai. Tomorrow morning, I will be going to visit my great grandmother in Hyderabad. |
A quiet day at home

 | Nov 7th, 2006 - Seems like my body is somewhere between the Pacific Time Zone and Singapore. I was up early once again at around 4 AM. As usual, I started kicking my legs and woke my parents up. I had my early morning feed and started my masti. For some reason, I was in a really good mood early and I was screaming and kicking my legs all morning. I took a few short naps during the day. After the long flights and the hectic journey, it was nice and relaxing day at home with my parents and my grandmother. In the morning, I met Mr and Mrs Miranda who are my grandmother's neighbor. |
