Rishab's first trip to India @ 17 months

After mom dad have left, my hubby is working from home. and taking care of Rishab. He is doing fine and we are all excited to attend the engagement of my brother in December. We are all going to India. Its Rishabs First trip. Well the preparation of the trip is going on and on and on... Rishab is loving the activity of removing all clothes from the bags we have already packed and hence the packing seems like never ending.

We left for the airport in the morning and Rishab was very excited. Since our seats in the airplane were close to the business class .. all Rishab did in the 5 hour flight was circle from business class to economy class. He only took a short nap of 45 min toward the end of the flight. The surprising thing was that when we landed in India he never spoke a word he just was observing .. I think he understood this is not his familiar Singapore. The first word he uttered were Gapati Bappa Moriya after seeing a poster of shivji and Ganpati. Well a good note to begin the trip. When we reached my in-laws place he was very reluctant to mix with them but with 30 minutes he became comfortable. He never slept in the afternoon after reaching and we had a reception to attend the very same night. Rishab was damn tired so he slept off in the car. Actually he was a little jet-lagged too. I had to drop him off to his nana nani's house before proceeding for the marriage. Unfortunately he got up in our absence and was crying away to glory since he never saw us around. Short memory Rishab!!. The next morning was really funny . He got up at 6.30am (singapore 9.00am) and saw a crow on the window and he started off "Thirsty crow" "pebble" "water" "pot". In singapore we cant find so many crows as we do in india so it was very exciting for him.

The next couple of days we were at my parents place. He got very bad mosquito bites there..but enjoyed too. When he went down in the morning he was able to sight many cats and he loved chasing them.. I rememeber on  incident when a cat went and hid under the car, he bent down to look at it and then got up and is telling me "Mummy remove cat" .. It was hilarious. I told his i could not and asked him to request cat to com out instead .. so he goes "Cat please come out". Another thing he loved to watch is the birds feeding on grains .. oh wat fun it was for him.. One other thing I did there was to make him sit on top of a car... (something i cant do in singapore)... and he absolutely loved the feeling.. so much so that he started crying when i took him off the car.We also went to the beach with my brother and wat a blast he had there.. the entered the water and wanted to be there forever. he did not even mind the salty water entering his mouth. Surprising!! But nevertheless lovely memories.

We also took a short 5 day trip to Bangalore and how he loved meeting all his cousin sisters and brothers. Few memorable line for his Chirag Mama "Chiri mama you are too slow. Please drive fast". "please music" whenever he sat in my cousin bros car. He enjoyed playing with Pritika and Vedika (my cousin sisters children) and still remembers them. Some real hilarious incidents happened at my cousins place. He got so sleepy on his own he he lied down on the ground and started telling everyone "bye bye.. good night".  Overall a very fulfilling trip to Bangalore.

He also had a nice time with his Grandparent who were seeeing him after a year. He enjoyed playing Pee-ka boo with them and going out with them. So all in all it was a great trip to India after almost 2.5years.

Looking forward to the new year 2013. Happy new tear.
