Days of my life!!

 Hi Kapus, Saturday, the 4th of February 2023, was the date of your first ever Sports Day! This was being organized by your school 'Kinfolk Montessori' and honestly, we did not know what to expect Let me be honest here, because, when it cam to outdoor physical actvity and sports, we always felt you were a few months behind the rest of the kids. I remember, I got you a little football when you were just 10months old, but you only kicked it properly around your 2nd birthday Even on the playground in the apartment, you would only do easy tasks and shy away from anything which required you to use your hand strength We were, however, very excited about the Sports day. But when we asked you what all sports they were teaching you, you only said, "We went to big ground and I just sat there!" So, I guess you will agree with my second statement of this blog We reached the ground at around 9am and for the first few minutes, they made all the children sit separately. A few toddle...

 Hi Kapus, As expected, your official Birthday celebration was a Grand success  It was attended by over 80 guests including 15-20 kids who thoroughly enjoyed every bit. The decoration and the cake was most appreciated and I must say here that for a 4 year old, you were extraordinarily patient in helping click some very beautiful photographs  The food was also very good and the best part of the celebration was the return gift which was basically a plant your own tree pack  Overall, it was a function worth remembering and I must say here that the whole thing was planned by your Mumma - who is the best at such things Will tell you more soon Cheers, Dadoo

Hi Kapus, I write this one day after you officially turned 4 years' old - and here's you confirming the same  The actually celebration is planned this Saturday, 21st January in the DSR Sunrise Towers Club House and since this will be your first big celebration in Bengaluru, we have gone ahead and invited a lot of people. The total guest count as I write this stands at 90+ The planning part is totally owned by your Mumma and I have been more of a backup help. She has planned 2 cakes for the occasion, a nice princess theme for the decoration and a very lavish spread when it comes to food I will try and share separate details on that next week As of yesterday, you went to school and celebrated your Birthday Montessori style - where you gave away some of your favourite books from the Naisha series and then held onto a globe and go around the Sun 4 times (something which we had done at home for your 3rd birthday as well) At home, we got you your very own Peppa tent which immediately...

 Hi Kapus, Something really interesting happened to start of the New year for us.  Last Tuesday, the 3rd of January 2023, as I dropped you and was driving home, the radio was on and RJ Prithvi on Fever FM 104 asked a question which was targeted for 5th Grade kids. The question was as follows " There is a big Red Spot on the plant Jupiter - Can you tell the size of the Red Spot when compared to our planet Earth? " We had to send the answer to the number 9739-104-104  I reached our apartment, parked the car and since the number was easy to remember, I messaged them saying " The Red Spot is 3 times the size of planet Earth " and completely forgot about it. I have tried to take part in many competitions before and never had won till date and hence did not expect any response from them   An hour later, however, I got a call from a anonymous number and when I picked it up - it was RJ Prithvi on the other end. He put me on Air and asked me the question again. He even helpe...

 Hi Kapus, It's the last day of the year 2022 and it has been a memorable one for all of us It was quiet year overall and the biggest achievement this year is the fact that you started going to school and adjusted very well into it. Your class teacher is Ms Vitika and you have made a few friends by the name - Anaya Chaudhury, Micah Lucas Singh, Anvita, Mandana, Mayeem, Taksh and Shraddha You also occasionally took the name of Reyansh, but last month. one day you came home with a bruised right wrist because he had bit you in school. Since then, we have obviously asked you to stay away from him... One thing which got re-affirmed for us is your ability to pick things up by observation. The brief for us was simple enough. Show you something and you would learn is very fast. That's how you knew all the planets in the Solar System by your 3rd birthday In this year though, we had two major sporting events which took place - The ICC T20 Cricket World Cup in Australia and the FIFA Footb...

 Hi Kapus,   The blog today is about India getting her 15th President, Droupadi Murmu - our second lady President and the first ever President from tribal background Now, if you wonder why this piece of news is important, well there are several reason For starters, it's always good to know the name of the head of states of countries (especially one where you reside). In India, the Prime Minister commands all the power, but the President of India is still considered the Head of the State and has all the Armed forces reporting into her   However, the main reason the above news is impotant, is your Panaji Aaji - that's your Dadoo's Mumma's mumma.In case you need a reminder - this is picture of you with her when you just 9 months old     She stays with Chaya aaji in Thane, which is very close to Mumbai and she has this amazing ability to tell you all the President's of India in the correct chronological order. She has also actually written down the list in Kanadda -...

Hi Kapish,   Continuing on from my last post where we felt you had fallen sick and recovered fully - well we were proven terribly wrong!! The month of June 2022 had brought in some weird ever-changing weather to Bangalore and along with that came a host of viral infections. So, just when we thought you had recovered and we sent you back to school, you caught the bug and fell sick again   It was on a Thursday, a few weeks' back that you woke up coughing and we decided to keep you at home and started some home remedies. By Saturday, when the condition hadn't improved, we tele-consulted your pediatrician who got you started on some oral medicines  However, these oral medicines didn't seem to help as well - cause by Tuesday, you were running a very high fever accompanied by the constant coughing. On Wednesday - when we checked your fever - it was as high as 102.5F   This called for a visit to the clinic where Dr Poonam examined you and suggested we immediately get you st...
