Diya with Dora Kitchen Set

Diya in Dora House

My Black Board

Diya practices her writing and drawing skills on this little board. She also demonstrates to Anu aunty and Swara regularly on video chat that they say 'wow'! She writes ABC's, 1-2-3's, XMas tree, a rabbit, a lolly pop, sun among many other scribblings.

My Fav Chair

We bought a new chair for Diya, which is made of metal, short, and has cartoon theme. The cushion seat makes a funny sound when Diya sits on it and also while she gets up. Bought from Landmark, Jayanagar. Price Rs.575! The table is our legacy - the one we have been using since our school days - 1980's

Sun Glasses!

Diya's new 'sun glasses' bought in itsy bitsy shop. An 'investment' we made as Diya became restless when Sudha became busy in saree shopping in Kalamandi.

Diya's keyboard

Diya's new found interest is the music keyboard. She finds thrill in announcing / singing in the mic.

Fighter Plane Masti Photo

This photo was taken at Wowie chocolate offer campaign at Landmark, Swagath Garuda Mall, Jayanagar. The kids can get a photograph behind a aircraft photo.

Landmark Craze

Diya is now Landmark craze. She visited Landmark at Garuda mall in Jayanagar and fell in love with all the items. She picked everything that she liked and abandon them the moment she saw the next item. Next time, when you see the items are misplaced in different sections in Landmark, you can assume that Diya is around. I bought a pack of 3 rubber balls as a gift for Diya.

Gift from Tashu

Special Gift from Tashu on occasion of Diwali

Kolu Function

Diya visited Madhu & Akila at Brigade Gardenia and enjoyed various options (toys, scooter, cycle, bed) available to her. Diya and Akila became so thick that Akila's name is household name these days. She also enjoyed the kolu arrangement in their house. A good evening well spent.

Joyful Ride

Three Stages of Sleeping

If you are trying to put someone to sleep, there are three stages: Stage 1: You try to make some one sleep Stage 2: You get sleep Stage 3: Finally you get sleepy and the other one is wide awake (Illustration by Diya and 'paapa' toy)

Story Telling

Diya on a story telling mission!

St.Bernard from Swiss

Gift for Diya from Switzerland The St. Bernard Dog is a very large breed of dog originally bred for rescue and as a working dog. A full-grown male can weigh between 160 and 240 lb (72.5 / 110+ kg) and the approximate height is 27½ inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm). More on this website.

Mani, my best friend

This toy came as a surprise gift from me to Diya and she was thrilled to see a 'live' puppy. The toy almost looked real and it comes to our rescue whenever we wants to divert attention from something she demands. Purchased from Sapna Book House, Jayanagar.
