India trivia for babies
How far is India? Far from comfortable (no roll over, wearing belt, sleeping in a small basket for a long time...)
What do you see in India? New people and lots and lots of them (I rediscovered my grand parents repeatedly)
What is there to look forward in India for a baby? Lots of attention, kisses and hugs
Does sibling relationship change in India? Changes from affectionate sibling to affectionate owner
personal note - My big sis put up a great fight when some one taunted her saying that they will take me home or another kid tried to play more with me.
How is the climate in India? Swaying trees and water from the sky is what I noticed but my akkA was excited about the beach in our streets when vehicles went by (after the cyclones).
How is commute in India? Oh.. easy.. just cry a bit and someone around will carry you ...when going outside, warm laps instead of car seats.. always a pleasure!
How is the shopping experience? Grown-ups carrying you will get a lot of help at the store from the admiring and cheek pinching attendants.
What made a mark on you in India? Mosquitoes (Not just one mark, ~12 when I last counted. They just loved me :)
Overall impression - If you want to be pampered and doted upon, it is the place to be! :)

Time for Travel Insurance
A couple of weeks ago, I discovered the world of long distance travel. I experienced my first serendipity when I toppled over and suddenly found myself in another country - from plush-blanket land to brown-carpet land. I had been trying to drag myself along and after a 10-minute effort, I would have made 7 inches. I have no idea how these big people are able to do magic - they are here one second and suddenly they vanish. One minute, I am being kissed by a brown skin and right next, I see two long poles next to me, and then poof.. gone!
The big issue I have with my movement is that I find myself in some nooks I am not able to get out of. And then, there are these thin long threads which taste awesome, but I only hear my mother say "Madhura, no biting on wires!". I also seem to find delicious nuggets on the floor which even my elder sister is not able to see.
So, if you know any good travel insurance promotion packages for the locomotion-challenged, please give me the contact info of their chief baby agent.

My desperate baby sitter (or sister:)
My big sister is so loving that she crushes me with tight hugs and smothers me with kisses. While I bask in her affection, I sometimes struggle with her attacks of love. When my ammA decided to leave me with her to take a shower, I was a little tense. ammA told pAdukA that she has to take care of me well and make sure I do not cry for a few minutes otherwise "dum dum mAmA" (maintenance serviceman of our apartment) would come to our apartment to check. I thought it was a bad idea..but it turned out that I called the shots for a couple of minutes. My spying ammA captured it until my sis saw her :)

World from a different angle
Looking at the same old things around the house got me so bored that I decided to change it a little bit. For more than a week, I put in a LOT of effort (turned red in the process and my sis loved that color on me!) and cried to roll over. My pAtti was eager to see me roll over before she left for India and I was working on a deadline! On Sept 23rd, the day pAtti was leaving to India, I surprised myself! yay... I rolled over..just in time or so I thought. I saw ammA's happy beaming face saying "konjam muna panna kudAda kannamA?" (couldn't you have done this a little earlier?) pAtti had left an hour ago.. argh...!
Everything looks different now. I am rediscovering my house all over. I see large and small feet ones moving all around. I found a huge treasure under our couch that my big sis has accumulated :) shh... it's a secret I share with my big sis. Well, my next mission is to move around to find more treasures lying in the house.
