Friends, Yucky Grown ups and Fellow Toddlers,
I am more than a year old now and had a couple of family gatherings to substantiate it.
The first function was homam at Anjenaya temple and here I am all set with amma and appa to visit Mr Hanuman. It was a batch processing initiative with around 20 others including a couple of thathas expressing their happiness at having mushroomed on this earth "this day - that age" Just like the Hindu eh??.Amma, appa,2 thathhtas,2 pattis ,Karthik mama, Sangeetha mami, Anu athai, Maya and Darshini were the important dignataries who graced the function and of course mahself as they say in Texas.
We came back and had a good lunch at the Flamenco just opposite and we all thoroughly enjoyed gorging ourselves -- Maya ate an exceptional lunch and declared her patriotic fervor in the Indian cause.
The afternoon was spent in blissful sleep while, appa, amma and mama slaved to get hot pooris and the decorations ready. The main contribution was appa's who got the entire hall bedizened with colour paper, hanging lights and balloons. Even more phenomenal was the way he had planned the event and got Karthik mama to do some work as well.
The party was a gala event, the cake an absolute beauty - a MINIE cake as in Mickey, Minnie and lots of yummy stuff on the table -- all AMMA made.The kids had a whale of a time playing passing the parcel , dirty dancing and generally horsing around , the best part being that it was all done by appa and amma, not by event managers from outside. Thanks youse all for a great party. Wish I could have a party like this every month but I understand there is a small cost factor involved.... Sigh..... Wish my dad was a millionaire..er billionaire. Well I am scooting now for my afternoon sojourn with the diwan. Ciaooooooo wait for my next post
