Happy New Year 2011

Hello All,

Wishing you a very happy new year 2011 :)


~ Rishi

Hurray... I'm Two...

Hey guys...had to tell this to you
I am going to turn TWO !!

I know what you are thinking …It seems like yesterday
But here comes my second birthday

I can now say a few words & call mama by her name
For which mama & papa say they will use a cane

I gave all my bottles away to a thirsty crow :)
It's important since I've now begun to grow


I love to brush my teeth & to sit on the potty
But do nothing there; just try to be naughty!

I now don’t crib & cry to go to daycare
But I ensure my pranks make them know I am there

I told papa to throw a party for my b’day
He agreed to do it on 24th the Friday,

It’s at Udipi, Yipee Yipee

There will be a cake and balloons and whole lot of fun
It will not be complete without everyone …

So please join us to make it an evening to remember!

Let's rock and roll, I can already feel the thunder!!

Dad is Busy...

Hi All,
I decided to blog today after a long time...It's been a while isn't it ? I am going to be two years old in days to come. I am excited .

I hear Mom asking Dad everyday ..."Can't you get the video ready for the blog??" and Dad replies .."Will do", the scene has not changed for more than a month. Poor Mom !!!Can't blame Dad much , he is busy with work too ..especially after his new Boxee box (Sorry Dada ..!!)

I have been saying a lot of new things ..and doing a lot of new things . I can identify most of the vegetables & fruits now . I can now recognise different sounds (distinguish between a Fire Engine and an Ambulance). I can identify few personalities by name like my President/Dr.OZ/Oprah/ManmohanSingh and Rajinikanth. I know my teacher and school's name. I know where Dad works and where I live. I can identify the major colors . I can make a few phone conversations .."Hi How are you thatha ..Fine thatha ..Bye patti ..Love you patti ..etc. I know the English alphabets and I also know the Tamil alphabets (The uyir ezhuthukal to be precise). I can even put down my feet and say "NOOOO...". I do it most of the times and upset amma and even get spanked.

Amma says "I am an organised,intelligent,adamant Rascal." Let me explain . ORGANIZED-- I put my shoes on the shoe rack when I get back from school and do everything absolutely in the same order every day. I even insist amma hangs her jacket (even if she forgets ..he he !) .INTELLIGENT -- Because I have an astounding memory (she claims so. All Mom's are like that. Aren't they . Boasting that their sons are best in the universe and I bet My Mom is no exception.) If I see the laptop chord, I ensure that it's plugged onto some Laptop. I know if I want my poem to be played , I got to get the Boxee remote to Amma, If Amma says Dosai I need to get her the Pan to make Dosa and If she says cereal I got to fetch her the milk and the cup. And when there's a knock on the door it's appa back from work. ADAMANT -- Because I want to have my pillow to myself. Don't share a thing. And would demand a cookie at 9 PM and would throw a fit bcos Mom would refuse to give me one. Make Mom run behind to me to get my gloves on . And Mom would just say "Why are you so adamant just like your Dad ..?" hmm..

Amma and Appa bought me a trike for my birthday. Bcos I keep playing on Pari's bike which is pink in color and "I still don't understand boys don't ride pink bikes ". So Dad bought me nice cool trike. I just love it . I now eat / play and spend most of my time on my trike. Mom doesn't let me sleep on that . If not I would do that too. I think I have bored you all enough.

Catch you all sometime soon.Bye for now.

Rishi

Happy Halloween (2010)

Oh oh .. What a halloween .. Can't forget this one ..

I have never seen such an adamant Rishi ..God knows what scared him in that halloween costume.. He just kept screaming ... "NO MONKEY DRESS AMMA" ..Please "No Monkey" .. and he would shake his head with a firm "NO". Seriously got us all hyper.

Finally we landed in Mama's house, Shreeya tried all the tricks she knew to get him to wear his costume. No luck . The best part was he kept screaming "OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD", which was so funny. At one point we all gave up.

Shreeya then managed to draw some whiskers put on a striped sweatshirt and made him a little tiger. He did have fun collecting all the toffees that he could.
Mama was at his usual best. With his mask he terrorised everybody. The kids kept crying and screaming whenever he was around. Totally we had a blast.

Catch some glimpses of the evening right here...

Farewell Ms. Meridith... Will miss you!

It looks like yesterday that I joined your class
But time has flown so very fast…

You taught me to smile & never to frown
& also colors Yellow & Brown

You gave me a warm hug when I walked in
But I must say I tired you - day out and day in …

I created a mess whenever I ate
but you always smiled and cleared my plate!

You trained me to use my sippy &
when I said Mereda… you shouted Yipee …!

I pooped and peed at my will &
you always cleaned me up without a grumble!

Whenever I screamed yelled and cried
You would only tell Mom he was very quite …

You had so many kids around
But I know I was your special one …

Wherever you go & whatever you do
Please remember Rishi will always love you…

For all that you have done
Dad, Mom & Rishi say thanks a ton !!!

Rishi... Rishi... Rishi...

I think this page has been baptised Rightly .."Rishi..Rishi..Rishi"

Yesterday I was sitting on my couch and relaxing when something suddenly stuck me .. wherever I turn I just could see Rishi - On the TV , In Rishi's corner , on the wall ...in the kitchen (he is on the Fridge) , in my car key, in my wallet..in Appa's room (on his mirror) ..Pooh ... What have you done to us Rishi ?

Honestly "Rishi you have just taken over our lives"

All phone conversations start with and end with Rishi ,Thatha and Patti do not have time to talk about daughter or son but just Rishi ..aunts and uncles and cousins invariably have a Rishi enquiry with me ,me and Raja's "only" conversation these days is .."RISHI". Every cine/carnatic song is now retuned to accomodate Rishi ? !! Infact we have a Rishi anthem as well .." We call him R , We call him I , We call him S, We call him H, We call him I , Rishi ..Rishi ..Rishi"

I just wonder if this is true for every parent or are we getting paranoid ?? I wonder !

Infact I have now nicknamed Raja as PP - " Pattu Paithiyam"

Just see below to get an idea of what I am talking ...

----------Gone are the days of favourite TV Shows /Soaps ---------



----------- No other picture in the drawing Room ---------------



------Fridges not only store cool things inside ... !!!!------



----- This picture gives us some respite from our Work as well !-----



------ Just in case we forget Rishi when we leave home ------



-------------Just to remind us that we are getting old (on our Mirror)-------------



-------------Until he can call us we have to live with this :)-------------



------- As if he is not in any other place (Rishi's Corner) ---------------
