Youngest Rickshaw Puller

Youngest Rickshaw Puller????? Yes, that's me!

A rickshaw, that my parents had bought from an antique shop four years ago is no longer safe in the show case; it is being put to use by me effectively on the bed and ground.....A big votary of "Activity based learning", that my father is, extremely happy to see this development......Here are few pictures of my latest rick ride.....





My love for rickshaws has fuelled interest in all moving vehicles......I can now identify cars, buses, trucks, tanker, tractor, cycle and scooter plying on the road....infact I have also started identifying cars by their make/brand.......so whenever I see a Maruti Swift, my finger goes up in the direction of that Swift car........with an exclamatory "Aaaaalooooot".........meaning that's the same car that my father drives!

Thank you Rickshaw for fuelling that interest in vehicles!

My papa got a taste of my liking few days back when I refused to be taken in a car......It was then, my mom decided to rent a rickshaw to ferry me back home; papa had no choice but to drive back home, lonely so.

Attitude!

If I wear something new and I know that I am looking good in that, you should see my attitude........I wear it in every way....be it the way I stand or I smile.....see this picture.....all three photos were separately clicked and my mom combined them into one using good old photoshop.......my papa feels middle one is by far the best! You decide.....
Don't they tell you something about my attitude and finessee!!!!

Oh This Heat!

Delhi is reeling under a severe heat wave and erratic electricity supply is not helping the cause either......three time baths are in and so are eating sessions without any clothes.......I am drinking lots of water, so everytime I see fridge, I ask for taa-nee (meaning water).....Mom has also bought me some new summer outfits......but fact of the matter is that Iam not at all enjoying this summer heat.....One thing I forgot to tell you is that raging heat has caused some infection in my eyes- doctor says it is Conjectivitis.....and it is all because of heat!

At times, you feel as if you are inside a hot furnace! Climate change is playing a havoc on everyone, including kids!

Diapers- Leave Me Alone!

"Diapers- Leave Me Alone"- I didn't have to raise this slogan as my unsaid request was promptly heard and addressed by my mom one afternoon. After keeping up with them for more than 17 months, my diapers were fast becoming a discomforting thing for me- I used to wear 4-5 during the course of the day. So, one afternoon, I gestured towards my mom requesting her to remove my diaper......After some initial reluctance, she gave it up and off went the diaper.....By late evening, mom realised that I don't need them anymore during the day time.....After a gap of few days, she tried a diaper free night sleep on me and that too worked to her surprise........So, now I am a diaper-free baby albeit with some precautionary exceptions as & when we go out.....

Sales Managers of Kimberly Clarke or Pigeon Corporation have no reason to rejoice in this news but my papa has.......he is richer by few thousand rupees a month.

My mom too is happy with the other outcome- I don't need any potty training......as I have trained and perfected that my art on my own.....And, I am loving it!

I Have Got Books

My mom bought me few books last week that has pictures of vehicles, fruits, animals and vegetables.......I have already mastered one that has pictures of animals and vehicles while the other two are still under consideration.......

You know buying those books have led to a strange problem for my parents as whenever I see a Hippo or Zebra, I ask for one...reason????? I wanna ride them......

Since they can't get a Zebra or a Hippo; they now have plans of sending those books in hiding....strange people as first they buy books and then they plan on hiding them!
