Janmashtami

My dear Vidhu woke up on Janmashtami day to the delightful smell of mouth watering bakshanams. She decided to turn herself into a tiny, little adorable Krishna with a flute to boot. Thanks to her grandma and her mother, she was all decked up in a readymade little krishna costume, come evening with her little, graceful toes adorning the "kolams" made to welcome, well, Lord Krishna himself (or herself).

After lounging around for a while, thathu taught her to play the flute for a while. All this work and no play made her a little tired and she snoozed for a while on her favourite rocking chair before waking up refreshed.
She got up and was crowned  "Miss Janmashtami" with a nifty, little crown that was bought for her by her grandma.

So that is the story of little Vidhu's transformation into Krishna - wait till the next year - she sure will turn into the naughty kid that Krishna was....

The day the earth stood still..

Hello world !


I know it is a little late but it is exactly 3 months to the date since little Vidhyutha peeped out of her mother's womb and said "Hi". Here it is - the first glimpse of  hers into this big, good world, well ensonced in the doctor's hands (Dr. Suryakala). The date was 12th June 2010 and it was just past 12 PM. This is her first photo - Hello World !

Everyone of her immediate family members, including grandparents and yours truly were eagerly waiting outside the operation room (oh, did I mention that her mom had to undergo a c-section). As soon as she came out, she was put in a respirator (for me to swallow in lungfuls of clean, energising oxygen, I am told).

Hmm... then one by one, everyone came and had a look at little Vidhyutha and her recuperating mother... So I will leave you with some photos to savour from the day of the "big bang"..and of course the doc who brought her into this world.

Ciao soon -
