Nov 1st,  2006  - India....Land of Mystery, Land of my Parents and all my ancestors. I am going there and I am only 9 months old. My parents tell me that all our
family is awaiting my arrival and that there are a number of functions
planned. I am a V.I.P.

My father called for a taxi cab and they said that taking me in a taxi cab
without a car-seat is considered a violation and that my father may be fined
if a traffic cop pulls us over. My father asked one of his friends Paul to
drop us to the airport. We stay very close to LAX and reached in about 20
minutes. Although it took a while to finish, the checkin process was relatively
smooth. We went through the security check and we had to declare all the
baby food that was in the diaper bags. Also, my mother had smartly put all my
soaps and lotions in a Ziploc bag, so we went through the security check also
relatively smoothly. Finally, we boarded the plane at around 7:30 PM at Gate
101.
