28 Days & I'm Rich!!

On 17th Nov, 2010 I turned 28 days old..and that called for some celebrations and gifts.   In the morning I was looking my best in a new dress that Aryan bhaiya got, mama and papa were also dressed up for the event...though papa appeared to be getting ready for office. We were joined by Aby uncle, Amita Aunty and Aryan Bhaiya. Ammama and Appapa said the prayers..and I wished Appappa had worn something other than his red & white lungi. Papa gave me  a micro-quantity of rice & turmeric symbolic of achieving this milestone. I love the next part...I had my first collection of gold jewellery. Ammama and Appapa had got me bangles, anklets, chain and 'Aranjanam' or belly chain from Dombivali. I was so excited, so was everyone...there was appam and potato stew..and paripu payasam in the evening.

My first Diwali

5th Nov, 2010. Diwali came with diya(s) and crackers. We had a beautiful rangoli that papa drew, lots of sweets, and all bhayias and didis were in their best of clothes. It would be a few years before I can join them in the festivities but I do wish them all a very happy diwali. The crackers were too loud, and I had a difficult time sleeping through the high decibel evening...gives me all the reason to support an eco-friendly diwail when I grow up. Aryan bhaiya watched 'buddy' light up the sparklers and flower pots, and kept saying that he is not afraid. I took lot of photos with mama, ammama, appapa and papa...I was looking my best in my red jumpsuit.

Moods of Teah

I woke up to a fine morning of Lakshmi Puja Day on 5th Nov. I took care of my empty stomach and then carelessly emptied my stomach...but then thats what i'm good at right now. The crackers went off all the time..was annoying me..was trying to be a brave girl. Then papa came with his cam, and i played along..cudn't help but pose.
