I now confidently walk, actually run and sometimes fly in the air due to my speed. J Ma says that at times I have my legs in the air for a fraction of a second. I get very excited about walking, you see. I enjoy playing at nursery and have made friends with many. Whoever comes to pick me or drop me gets a warm greeting from my friends. I have got used to dada/dadi dropping me to the nursery. I give them a hi-five and wave them good bye after which they leave. But I won’t do this with ma or papa. If they come do drop me, I feel bad and always cry, especially when ma drops me, I can’t hold back my tears. It is extremely good when ma or papa picks me up though.
Navaratri was good. Everyday, there would be aarti and I enjoyed being a part of it.
Dada dadi are now going to go back, I guess. I sense something happening around me and the packing and talking have changed. Dada/dadi are going to see bua and then go to Jodhpur for Deepavali.
Ma, papa and I went to South-end-on-sea for the weekend and we had a good time. I enjoyed my first rides in the Adventure Island. That was really good. I liked just walking around the adventure park as it was so colourful, moving and having lots of kids around. I loved it. It was short trip though.
I felt very bad when they left. It has started getting dark early and with signs of me and ma at home for a long time till papa returned made me really scary. I just cringed to ma all the time till papa came home. He started work the same week as dada/dadi left and his first week was loooong, really long. Finally, doddamma came to my rescue. Everyone thought that I would not remember her. I thought, too. After she entered the house, I felt something familiar about her and in five minutes I was thinking that I knew her. It took just one night to get close to her to everyone’s surprise.
Now, I don’t like to go to the nursery. I have started playing around when ma had to take me to the nursery. I enjoy the place once left, but before I go, I make a lot of ruckus to avoid going to nursery.
I am so looking forward to having deepavali. Ma and papa had their former colleagues come home during the weekend. It was good as the house was full with kids and uncles and aunties. I was baffled but soon gained composure and started playing with them.
I have become confident flyer and like to fly (walk as I call it) everywhere. Ma enjoys autumn and she ensures I enjoy it, too. I just like the noise of the dry leaves in the park. It is sooo nice though my shoes get dirty. I have made friends with the squirrels, ducks and many birds in the park, too.
Doddamma has taught me to say how a tiger makes noise. Doddamma has bought me a tiger mask and I recognise it, easily. I have become a big boy now and I can recognise so many things, understand what ma and papa say. Ma thinks I can understand 3 languages easily. I’m not sure what it means though.
I like to see ma’s purse and count for changes. I know where she keeps all her change and I have learnt to take them out. She’s now become smart and keeps the change inside her purse. Nevertheless, I carry her purse and go around, even though it is a little heavy for me.
I love to walk in the park, on the road or in the city centre. People trick me to walk for 10 minutes and then put me back to buggy because I wander around one place when free and ma papa think that they have lots to do.
Deepavali has come and I am enjoying the lights inside the house and the sparklers. Plus a lot of eateries ma has cooked for the festival. I am in new dresses and enjoying going out with ma and doddamma and sometimes papa.

14th Month
I have now started liking to walk. I take few baby steps and fall off. Everyone at home encourages me to walk. The other day, I walked for long holding ma’s hands towards park. I am becoming a confident young man, you see!
As usual, my life has been busy adjusting to dada dadi and going around London every weekend. Along with the travelling, I get to see new places and talk to people on train or anywhere. The weekend travel does tire me a lot.
I got my first molar and due to that I was very ill for two weeks. When I was about to recover, I started getting another one. I keep biting ma really hard. I had fever for few days and one day was rushed to emergency due to very high temperature. Ma and papa panicked when they learned that I had 41 degrees temperature. It was finally down to ear infection and I recovered in two weeks.
Good thing was papa was home for almost a month and that gave me nice time to bond with him. Ma was also having good time taking time off whenever I needed and working from home.
I am becoming too naughty, everyone says. I nod my head for everything I don’t want and point to everything I want. I get pampered by dada and dadi. Dadi gives me chocolate and namkeen mixtures which I like a lot. Everyone hides all savoury stuff from me because I remember where they are kept and point them to that location, whenever I remember or see it.

I feed the ducks and birds in the park, and enjoy going to park. Ma and papa do take me out most of the days. I sometimes get to swing and sometimes not. I know the location of swings and ducks and direct me to take to those places.
I forgot to tell you that I was dressed as little Krishna at the Mahalakshmi temple, East Ham. See it to believe it:

10-13th Month
All blame goes to Ma for not writing about me. I have been very busy. Papa went to India leaving me, ma and doddamma in London. Though I missed papa initially, later I forgot and started enjoying with doddamma and ma. I also started going to the nursery once/twice a week, in preparation to welcome dada/dadi.
Nursery
It was very difficult initially to adjust in the nursery because I would be there only for a short while. It was an all new experience. I didn’t like being away from doddamma, at all. She would play with me, sing to me and take me to park for hours. I missed all that. But, once I started going regularly in July (sometime before my first birthday), I started liking the place. I have new friends now and I like Lindsay who takes care of me.
10th Month
Though, I have been busy adjusting to London, Ma working and Papa in Norwich, it has been good too. I like going to the park and swinging for hours. Ma and doddamma took me for long walks, busy and colourful Ilford streets, fruits everywhere etc have been very interesting. I have been making serious efforts to stand on my own. I like to crawl as fast as possible and outpace ma or anyone for that matter. I like to play hide n seek in different rooms. Steve uncle bought me a nice toy and I liked it very much. I cut one more teeth below.
11th Month
Off! The heat has been crazy. I got rashes all over and was itching. I cut one more teeth have now got 4 of them. Teething is really hard work giving hard time to everyone including myself. Then, papa came along with dada/dadi. It took some time for me to understand what was happening. Though I recognized papa after a month’s time, I took some time to get close to him. Days were busy with doddamma getting ready to back and dada/dadi adjusting to new place and on top of it, myself adjusting to all these changes. Ma took me and doddamma out for a couple of places before doddamma was due to go back. I liked the Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden area. They were so lovely. I like to talk to anyone who looks at me though I shy a bit, I must talk. Ma, ba, da, la, pa are all the words in my language which is growing by day. Isn’t it musical? ;)
I started going to fulltime nursery. But I liked papa being home, too. I finally stood up on my own and was so happy doing it again and again. I would stand up, fall and then turn and stand up again, going on in circles till I got tired. That was exciting! I uttered my first complex word – “Light”, I would say “ight” and point to the light. I would go on showing my new found intelligence, to all. ;)
12th month
Soon, I was going to complete 1 year. I am now a big boy! I have been changing quickly and trying to understand a lot. I have started saying yes no, by nodding my head. I point my finger like Ambedkar, to what I want and clearly indicating.
Doddamma got me a trike and I like to go on in it. It is my favourite thing now. My Birthday was celebrated nicely. Ma baked cakes and muffins. Though not many could come, the house was pretty full. Gary gifted me a cricket bat and ball. I like to hold the bat, but need some support to hold myself with bat. J I like the Noah’s ark with various animals making various sounds. I liked the party, though I started feeling a little sleepy then. Later, I slept for a while and replenished my energy store to play with everyone. Finally, when the day ended, I didn’t like them going home. We celebrated dada/dadi’s anniversary, then my birthday and then dadi’s birthday.
13th Month
We took dada/dadi to Tower Hill and Canary Wharf. It was wonderful. We have been going around somewhere or the other every week. Anu aunty came to see me and I liked to play with her all the time. I did the same thing when Sourach chacha, Nidhi chachi and Avni came. I initially liked having Avni around, but when I started realising that I had to share the limelight with her, I didn’t like it. L I should get in terms with it. I am working on it. I have started taking few steps occasionally. I like going out to the park everyday with ma/papa and dada/dadi. I like to play with the ball, walk holding ma’s hands and feeding ducks, birds and squirrels. I know what are ducks, birds, tiger (the little doggy on the fridge) and so many. I can now say remote, and duck easily. My favourite thing is to watch the flights fly and show it to everyone if they have missed watching it. Now, I know the way to the park and inform everyone to take me to the park in the evening. I can recognize our house, the way to park from various locations. I am very naughty at times and play with ma. I have learnt to fake cry and fool others to think that ma is troubling me.
