Tigers ,Grashoppers,Monkeys ,Squirrels and More : Vaction 09 Part 1

It had been a while since i posted a travelog ....it has been quite sometime since my mum and dad took me on travels! This Diwali i went on my "Tantrum Vacation ". Fun for me not so  for mum n dad .It was a great holiday ....i was at my best (worst !) .
Did lot of interesting things ... visited 5 cities in 6 days ... Delhi ,Agra , Bharatpur , Ranthambore and Jaipur . The trip was a mix of history (a bore at my age ) and wildlife ( wow for animal lover like me ) .
Snapshot :Photos Follow in the next blog post 
Day 1 and 2 : Delhi 
Chill out at hotel and malls 
Day 3 : Agra 
Taj mahal ( not recco for kids my size ...how can you enjoy going around a building with 1000 other people ) .My time was when i got to feed the squirrel and showed of my disappearing egg magic( thats another story )  to foreign children .The best part was when a monkey entered our room and there was action outside when guards had to intervene with their guns  to get him away .
Day 4 :  Bharatpur 
birds .. animals .. rikshaw ride ...

Day 5 : Ranthambore 
This was the best part . Moving around a speeding open jeep into the thick jungle to catch a glimpse of the tiger .I did something memorable here .

Towards the end of the jungle we finally saw two sleeping tigers .A posse of 25 open jeeps surrounding them in a silence enough to hear a falling leaf and gentle breeze .At least 100 pair of eyes looking at the two lazing tigers Suddenly there is a loud cry ....yep that is me ... which not only shatters the silence but wakes up the two tigers . People looked in my direction and the tigers ...mum and dad embarrassed almost disowning for a while .In the meantime the tiger struck a majestic  pose ...the one that you always see in the perfect photos . Suddenly everyones cameras went clicking ....and i am sure the guys must have thanked me for getting the lazy cats to pose ... much to the relief of a flushed mum n dad . And why did i cry .... the guide snatched my camera and i  couldnt take that .
Well, after that was over i turned to mom and in my  eloquent  english said "i want to see lions now ". Well i guess that was the animal lover in me talking .

On my next post i will give tips on how to travel with children of my age without getting hassled

Half past 2






Well thats the age i just crossed .I am posting a few photos along the way and some of my achievements in order of importance attached

1.I can sing the full jana gana mana ( yep ) .Courtesy : School ,Youtube and rehman
2.I can ride a bicycle and that too real fast .Check out my photo giving a ride to KooHoo( Thats her name ) ,the pretty girl .
рей.I can speak full sentences in Hindi ,English and Hinglish ( that make sense)
4."I am a very good boy and love to sing "(Ahem) as quoted by Ms.Tanya my teacher .
Some eccenetricities
1.I can wake up anytime and ask for something i have played with in last 24 hrs it could be a actual watermelon and jackfruit ( my favourite fruits ,to play ,not to eat ),A stupid ball bearing ,or a ball or whatever .
2.I play with fruits real ones and the one that i want have to be replenished even if it is not season .dadaji is there to pay heed to my extraordinary demands and mummy is there to run to pick up from the market .Dad looks at it all ,amused .
3.My trousers and pyjamas have to be pulled down to just above the heel length .
4.Milk has to be stirred and shaken by me in the bottle before drinking .
Memorable moments
1.having to swim in mariott pool with diapers ( yep that is their rule ) and when they were asked about the age limit and smart babies like me who are toilet trained they say they can ask kids upto the age of 7 to go in the pool with diapers .Beleive it or not
2.In the same hotel i moved around the corridor pressing the bells of other rooms .Had to be dragged ( wailing and shouting to be allowed to continue ) by Dad .Much to chargin of atleast 1 foreigner who angrily stepped out but let it go seeing Cute Me.
Catch you later ,People

Missing In Action

Here i am back again after a haitus .Blame it on the lazy parents .One wont upload photos and the other wont blog .Grown Ups ...its always like this with them .But i am back again ,no photos ...no videos ...just bloglets to keep this memoir going .





Lots has happened over the past 3 months .Add a a few inches to my height ,more gleam in my eyes ,feet on the fly ,nonsense blabber all the while no weight on the waist though (keeps my mom worried ).To make more sense


1.I am a regular school regular guy ...daily ...mon to fri 9 to 12


2.I speak with sentences by just connecting words ,though they dont make sense they manage to communicate .Actually they are good enough to get my tantrums across .Mostly i speak hinglish .English nowns connected with hindi words .

3. I ran a race and a got a medal (i finished third ) dad thought i finished 4th .Actually it was a unfair race as i was put in with guys one term ahead of me and to make it worse they put a afro american big guy in my race .Now these guys are born athletes .Atleast i got my first medal and now it is displayed on my wall .
4, I choose my own wear .Only jeans and cords will do .No short pants or 3/4ths .and good tees .My favourites are the one that have a splash of silver .

5. I can answer 5 questions (ahem ) .They are
1.What is the capital of India
2.Who is captain of Indian cricket team
3.Who is badshah of Bollywood
4.National animal
5.National Bird

Now dont someone go asking these questions when you meet me i may not be able to get all of them right ...after i am bacchu
I will put in my race photo in the next post .
