At Office Function

Diya visited my office and enjoyed the office anniversary day. She got a butterfly tattoo done. She also participated in drawing activities and won chocolates and 'bubbles' as recognition. She also received a gift 'Oil pastel crayons'. She tried climbing a air-filled balloon climbing area but she could not manage. However, she was thrilled to join a dance celebration for a Hindi number. For the first time, she managed to tell her name to almost all my friends.

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

Book Festival 2009

Diya attended Book Festival at Palace Grounds. She attended 2nd time in a row. Last year also she attended (see link). This year's photos to be uploaded from our mobiles later. Diya had collected a wealth of kids books. Also, got Dora sticker, Dora badges. She remembered to carry one for her sister-friend Tanisha.

School Open House

Diya's school open house. The teacher invited her 'yet another naughty kid is here'. Looks like Diya finds it difficult to concentrate in the class. She always needed the teacher to be next to do her class work. She is active but. Looks like the teacher warned her that she would be sent to the next class where the Tamil speaking teacher was there. Diya happily ran to the other class, it seems. The teacher was wondering what a punishment could be for Diya. Diya is not worried about all this, anyway.

Guhantara visit

Diya thoroughly enjoyed her visit to Guhantara. Guhantara is a cave resort located near to Kanakpura Road. All that she wanted was swimming, swimming and swimming. Yes, she did. The day was very special that it marked Rajyotsava day.

Joy unlimited

Diya enjoyed a lot in the kids play area in Edens Park Hotel. We had to bring her out forcibly.

Snapped

Diya now knows to click a camera. She targets an image and takes a lot of pictures when she grabs the camera. Here is a snap of her favorite TV channel 'Chutti TV' . Diya thinks both Chutti TV and Pogo channel are the same. She will ask for Pogo...and we turn to Chutti..she will be all happy.

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.

Javvarisi, Shiny Teeth

Sudha has spread Javvarisi (sago in English) for preparing my new favorite dish Sabudhana Kichdi. Which is brighter Javvarisi (sago in English) or Diya's teeth?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to ourlittle sweetie! We had a cake cutting on July 3rd so that Diya's cousins Avaneesh & Adarsh too have fun. We did one more cake cutting today. It was a low profile celebration as Diya is cranky due to cold and mild fever. Gayathri tried posting Diya's photo for 'வாழ்த்தலாம் வாங்க' (Birthday wishes programme) in the Sun Music channel. But we waited for the whole hour for her photo to appear. But no luck. In all, she enjoyed all the attention.

Happy Birthday, Diya

Happy Birthday to our sweet little girl. Diya celebrated two cake cuttings
