School venda.








I don't feel like going to school now a days. Home seems to be much more fun. We went hiking the other day to Thusharagiri in Waynaud. It was my first trekking experience and I would love to do it again. My father carried me up and up and up this path in a hill with plants and trees on both sides and it was raining too. Couple of times we stopped and I was allowed to play in water. I was not allowed anywhere near the 'vallachattam' but throwing stones and splashing around in the stream was great fun. However, I had to come off before I actually had enough of the fun. The trip down hill was equally good. The hill was really steep and it had started to rain heavily so my achan gave me to the guide uncle who carried me back. My parents were literally crawling down the hill while the guide uncle just ran and hopped down the hill with me in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

Once we were downhill someone asked me if I was tired and I said "yes" and everyone laughed! I don't understand what is so funny.

Anyways I did rather do such fun things than go to school but my parents don't seem to get the point despite my clear verbal requests of "school venda. Rabike school venda. Ponda. Rabi schoolil povende". And ofcourse the full throated screams of "acha acha" when I am left at the school.

Lecture demo.

With Ammamma preparing for her exhibition of sculptures and paintings there were paints, paintbrushes and canvasses lying around. Watching her at work I also learnt what air to put on when playing with those stuff.

Happy and Me!!!




Happy tried to take my chair but I got him off ... with a bit of help from Muthachan.

Rain rain...stay!

I love water. Be it the tickle of my soo-soo or the 'kullu kullu' water from the tap, I try to splash around in it. The former is severely discouraged by my amma (which I find surprising ... after all she is the one who is most particular that I do soo-soo in the first place). But nothing prepared me for the fun I had in the rain the other day. Muthachan made me some boats but I found that the leaves flow as well. Water just poured and poured from everywhere. Now I don't understand the rhyme "Rain Rain Go Away"!?!
