One month into this world

Hi there,

So many things happened in the last one month. It is becoming difficult to keep track of things. I had my paediatrician visit. We finally could meet Dr. Sirikonda. He was in India on vacation when I was born. He told amma, something can be given in 6 weeks. I could not hear it clearly. So we will wait and watch.

I had my first outing on Jul 22. We all went to Sri Krishna Brindavana (A temple) in Edison NJ. Dad taught me how to do namaskara to Lord Krishna. First I thought, my head is going to hurt a lot. But that was not the case. All went well. We took God's prasada and drove to Padma Ajji's place. Triveni Kannada koota had organized a send off event to Bhagavathi. I got a chance to see a lot of people. All of them would come near me, look at me and do some koochie koochie things. Some folks would pick me up and hold me for some time and take a walk etc.

When the food was served, looked like pappa and amma forgot about me. Jayanti aunty was carrying me without eating but pappa and amma were busy eating food. I heard pappa comment that the food was really good. So in all, it was a good gathering.

Just a week later, we were back again at Padma ajji's home for ajja's talk. Ajja did a fantastic show based on one of his short story. It was very good. Appa was busy taking pictures, amma shot the video. It was sad to see Padma ajji's leg wrapped in bandage. She apparently has a fracture and will have to use crutches for some time.

Then we met Madhyasta family on Jul 29th. Sri Visveshwara Madhyastha and Smt. Rosemary Madhyastha. Vish ajja is from Siriajja's family and has been in US from 1956. They narrated a lot of their stories. I also met a new friend - Shraavya who is almost as old as I am. Both of us very busy in disturbing our amma's. Amma had to feed me twice while eating her food. But once I ate, I let them eat at peace.

I am waiting for more and more outings now. I like to see new things. Hope pappa's schedule allows him to take me to different places....

Ciao
