Slap bag

Date: 28th July 2025

Dear Kapish

Every year when school starts, it is very common for kids to pick up an infection and have a cold or cough for a few days.Hence, we were mentally prepared for a few sick days at the start of the school year. However, A small mishap occurred last Thursday (24th of July) that had us a bit worried

You left for school at the usual time, but at around 9am Mumma got a call that you had vomited in school. The nurse did mention that it was a one off thing and they had kept you under observation

Mumma followed up again after an hour and made sure you were Ok and went back to your class, but at around 1am we got another call that you had soiled your pants because of some loose motion.We were now genuinely worried and decided to pick you up from school 

All the way driving to school, we were concerned about your health, but when we picked you up you very chirpy as usual with some new Shorts which the school provided and then told us that what happened with you was not loose motion, but an urgent case of peeing in your pants!

We continued to observe you and even created a strict diet plan for the rest of the day, but you seemed to be fine and were even ready to go to school the next day for a very different reason - it was your new classmate, Kaira's birthday!

The next day you were fine and even told us that you enjoyed celebrating with Kiara and got home a nice return gift - an apple in what you called a 'Slap Bag'

Now, Valistus, doesnt encourage sending chocolates or sweets on Birthdays' but instead encourages parents to send a fruit which is a very good initiative 

But I also wanted to highlight a very cute behaviour of yours which we had noticed for sometime now. If you liked any new thing which we had purchased or you got as a gift, you would take it with you wherever you went!

So in this case we know you loved the Slap bag because you took it to your tent-house, play area, you had it next to you during dinner and even placed it right outside on the bedside when you were in the washroom...

I hope this cute little behaviour of yours continues for very long - but as of now, we will sit together and enjoy the Apple from your favourite Slap Bag!

 

Cheers,

Dadoo

The Art of Arranged Marraige

This week began with my very dear cousin giving me the best news of the year that he has decided to get married. It all started a few months back. First the families met, which was followed by a few more meetings between the boy and the girl and finally they decided to tie the knot. My cousin is a gem of a person and a true gentleman. My ‘gonna-be-bhabhi’ is a real lucky lady. After all the congratulations, my mind shifted to the scary fact that I would be next in line for the coveted throne called ‘Marriage’. My thoughts go out to my poor ‘gonna-be-wife’. If you happen to read this anytime, I must say sorry in advance. “Arranged Marriage” – Now here is a word that has been redefined with changing times, here in India. Bollywood movies give a guy his very first impression of ‘seeing a girl’. The meeting takes place in the girls’ home. The guy has to sit there with his entire family and first only speak to the girls’ parents and relatives. That’s where they judge if the guy is capable ...

Ebbanad - II

(This is a continuation from Ebbanad - I. Please read that before continuing here) Our next destination was the forest shack where we were to camp that night. It was a 30 minute downhill trek and we were welcomed there with gracious helpings of veg pulao and curd rice. After rejuvenating ourselves, we began the main part of the trek – through the forests. Ever since our guide had joined us, he had kept telling us stories about their encounters with elephants and tigers. It had raised our hopes of catching a glimpse of a few along the way. But the important thing to remember was that the experience of the guides had been accumulated over decades of years and by calculating the average it was obvious that our chances of seeing any animal in one day was very bleak. Yet a walk through the forest was enough inspiration for me to pick up my stuff and start trekking. The entire trek lasted around 3 - 4 hrs. In the process we walked through thick jungle completely surrounded on both sides by s...

A Fairytale....

It was the 4th of July, I was in Mumbai looking forward to what was probably the most important day of my life. It was also the day that the Rain gods showered the might of the rains, on this island city. Little did they know that the rains were the last thing to stop me from meeting the most important girl I had ever known and to express my feelings for her. It had been raining all morning and I had kept my fingers crossed that it would eventually stop. I delayed my departure from my home for an hour in that hope, but at 11am I simply put on my jacket and left. I told her that I would be reaching at around 12:30pm, considering all the delays in the train……and it was real heartening to see her concern for me, as she made sure that I call her multiple times during my train journey from Tilaknagar to Vile-Parle . It took me well over an hour to reach my destination. I know, I know…I choose train station to meet my loved one. Most unromantic…...that too considering that I was half soaked...
