The times, they are a changing!

Within 24 hours of posting the massage video, the little one is on a violent throwing up spree! This after a great play session, earlier in the day, with her elder sister and cousins.

She has probably caught some stomach bug and there is a good chance it will go around the house faster than a bag of potato chips. Only time will tell!

So, what is with the title?

Under normal circumstances, the video would have been correlated to the sickness and I would have got orders to shut the blog down.

This time however, there was no such comment from the wife and MIL. It was a refreshing change, to see the throwing up being attributed to the little micro-organisms.

To celebrate this change in the household, here is another video of the little one...

Time to hit the Airborne, Walborne, Riteborne or whatever brandname fizzy tablet, the local drug store dishes out to boost my body with 30,000% the daily dose of anti-cold-flu vitamins, including but not limited to A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H...Z, A1-A256, B1-B26, .. and all the other essential herbal, mineral, vital, nutritional supplements to prepare for the upcoming (or already arrived) flu season!

Here is a stock tip from Dr. Narayanohe. Buy companies that make synthetic vitamin C. You might have a healthy benefit!

When life gives you a remote control

Have a massage!

The little one is almost two and she is learning fast.

Already tells me "Daddy, sit properly", "I finished my mammu" and points to a truck with a barrel and says "concrete truck". The best part of the deal is that she picks up different words from daycare, daddy, mommy, grandma and mostly her akka and gives us pleasant surprises by using these words in some unique situations.

She has also figured out how to give herself a massage!

I bought this Relaxor thing way back in 1998 and sent it by mail to India. It was stuck in customs and they wanted my parents to pay the equivalent of 150 dollars to claim it. Considering that I had bought it for $99 and paid another 9 bucks to ship it, I requested that they return it to sender. That thing came back damaged on the return shipment and has been lying around in the garage till now! I found it, duck taped it and now it is working for the little ones.

My attempts to teach energy conservation obviously failed. Will have to keep trying...

Viva Microsoft-eeee!

The BIL gave me a gift.. well two gifts actually!

He got me a Zune player from the Microsoft store!

It has like 30 GB, plays music, videos, pictures, has a built in radio!

He also gave me more than 1900 songs including all the Tamizh and Hindi oldies from his CD collection!

Ooo laa laa...

Have been playing with the Zune.. so no time to blog. Will complete my unfinished post once I am all set with the player.

In other news, here is an evening conversation:

Me: do you know any songs?
Little one : Yesh!
Me : sing a song for me
Little one : tee tee tee joti joti joti
Me : !!!!!!!!!!!!

I was expecting something more along the lines of twinkile twinkle or baa baa black sheep!! Should have seen this coming..

Cheezza anyone?

Why use two words when one is enough?

The little one is making the family proud by being furgal, at least with words. The rest of the family, especially daddy is very near an F grade on the subject.

Today, she pointed to the Pizza at the birthday table and said:

"Give me Cheezza!"

I guess Cheese Pizza is Chezza. Do not know if she was trying to say "cheese Pizza" and combined the words. Still Cheezza sounds cool!

Daddy as usual thought, he should stake a claim to the little ones discovery only to find that Cheezza is actually a different dish! It is a pizza with the crust made of deepfried cheese!!! Interesting..

Then I thought, what about Vegizza? and the answer was, No! Someone came up with that one in 2005 as an answer to an english language Quiz!!!

It was intersting to note that both these words had only 1 or 2 google hits.

Someday, the little one will come up with a word that has no hits on Google. I am almost sure...

Sketch book

Went to Chuck E. Cheese (also known in our house as Kaakaa Kiss by the little one) for a birthday party.

As is customary now with every CEC visit, we took a sketch portrait.

Except, this one came out good..

Thinking of changing profile photo to this one now..
