peek a boo

I love this set of photos. Sanju playing peek a boo!

Holi hai!

sanju baby played her first holi yesterday. We dressed her up in her new frock and splashed her in the most premium holi colours ever - saffron water. Mom soaked saffron in water to get colored water and then we sprinkled it on her.

She thoroughly enjoyed it, and grinned with glee - showing off her 5 teeth!

fending off the terrorist

Baby loves to pull hair, and her mother is the usual target. here she is trying to fend off fend off the little sadist :)

bath time

The maid is absconding, so baby duties are being shared by me, mom and bharathi; and so baby is having a ball.

She used to bawl all the way through her bath when the maid did it, but now she freaks out with mom.

taklu

Bharathi took baby to Chennai and shaved off her locks. They had become unruly and unmanageable, but i really miss those locks.

Little bit more of Kerala

I managed to drop and damage my brand new camera in Kumarakkam, so the photo trail ends there. After K'kam we went to Varkala beach - Bharathi was shattered, as consumerism has taken it over entirely. So we went off to take the backwater tour to Alleppy - an 8 hour trip on the boat, which was totally amazing!

We spent the last day in cochin and were back in Bom on 30th Dec to celebrate the coldest new year in town.

More Kerala

From Hill country and tea gardens to the plains and lake side. We went to Peermedu in the hills and then on to Kumarrakkom lake.

I enjoyed the food and hogged on non veg cooked in coconut oil. Poor bharathi had a job in keeping baby fed tho - as mallus eat hard rice, no dal and no dahi. She was carrying homemade ghee and upma flour and so kept barging into kitchens of hotels to make khichdi for the baby
