Roar - Here i come

This post is for photos only .My first photoshoot ( among the many to follow ).Will update you on my "pet " blunders in the next post

The Frog and the Prince

Mum and Dad were called by teachers to give feedback on my progress .As it turns out I am shaping out well ( ahem !) .I am ahead on all counts and have a inclination for geometry, algebra and math which are my excel areas ( whats geometry and algebra ????).I can count to thousands but not write numbers .I am declared a "intellectual kid ".The other side is that i amke stories out of anything and my stories dont stroke reality at all and are a fantasy world ( which my teachers think is not a good idea and my dad thinks the opposite ) .In my stories i become the astronaut and get the moon home - taechers tell me its not possible ,my stories animals talk ,elephants are smaller than frogs and talk ,cars and animals live in harmony etc .I have been advised not to be read fairy tales till age 6 ( i wonder what age group disney is making movies for ).I am suppose to make stories which are reality based and not a fantasy .....what a pity i would have loved to get horses to fly and mouse bash up lions ....this will have to wait .

In the same week i did have a exciting animal adventure .I went to the garden and caught a live frog which is now my pet . I was so excited that i went around showing to all the childeren in the building ( i love being the center of attention ....actually i dont prefer it any other way ) .I also took it to school and the teachers asked me to show it to all smaller classes kids as well .I was more than happy to oblige .We did have a incident with the frog on night 1 .the pesky little creature had a very strong determination and managed to escape from the box i kept him in ( it seemed impossible that he would have been able to do that ) .We captured it th enext day after a 5 hours search in the hosue ....hiding in the bathroom .

Lesson learnt :
Dont underestimate and if you dare it you can do it ( thanks "Foggy " ....thas what i have named him .)I intend releasing him back after a few days .

and yes about the Prince .....no marks thats for me as is eem to be having all wishes and wants fulfilled by a set of pampering family .A tortoise , a chick and monkey coming in .

till than ciao !

Weekend Action

I will now try to update the blog weekly . Lot of action in life as I am growing up.
I know I have friends to whose place I go over to play or they come over sans mom and dads.
This weekend had a swap playover with karthikean , my new bud . We played at his house then my house and then together went to play elsewhere .
Sunday was packed .early morning trip to check out my potato plantation in the building garden. On reaching there was informed that there is a snake on the prowl . Mission aborted. Its another thing I came and told that I saw the snake and even described it ( I am quite a story teller )
Afternoon : Candies at Pali with Areeb via park at carter road . Candies was good . Areeb and me went right upto the top on level 6 and made it our own private hangout. Everyone eslae followed .

Evening : shopping at Landmark . A toy and a activity book . Spent a good one hour jaunting .

A Tribute To Nanaji

This post is a tribute to my Nanaji .I am too little to understand the ways of this world but not so little to understand to know that someone is gone forever .One Sunday i woke up to mummy not by my side when i woke up ( this is usually never the case ) .I did tell Dadi that i saw Nanaji in my dream ( i have this habit of telling my dreams to mum and dad ) .

Dad came to be and explained to me that Nanaji has gone for ever and has become a star and mummy is sad for next few days and i should not trouble her .I went on with my daily chores of play and fun .Deep probably knowing that something is amiss .Mummy called me , crying on the phone and i told her innocently "Dont be sad mamma , Nanaji has become a star and we will see him in the sky in the evening ".

The day she did come back i showed her a ball saying that i like the ball because Nanaji had given it to me .

Nanaji would come to take care of me ,when he was well ,when Mummy would have to go to work and no one was there to take care of me .He would bring me among other things small packets of dal always .

This is the last photo of him from my third birthday.

MUM and Dad : As years will go by Subhaan memeories of his nanaji will probably phase .This post will serve as a reminder to him of a person who loved him a lot and would play with him .In his last days that he spent at our house Subhaan always would spend sometime with Nanaji and enquire about his health .Surely nanaji must have had some joyful tugs at the heart amidst his pain .

One post to the other

Between one season to the other i have caught that non evasive virus .One week no school during fever and one more after that .School now seems like a boring unavoidable errand .Last 3 months i have added inches ( well this is perhaps boring piece of news cos i am expected to grow ober the next few years ) .However i have become quite a wise crack with interesting anecdotes .

Am i small or stuff around me are big ..........A little man in a BIG world

1.2 more inches to the length

2.Great language control of hindi and english

3.A sense of humor

4.Anger .......if you are not letting me have my way get out of my way

5.New friends ( missing old ones )

I have developed two obsessions

Monkeys .My favouries animal .....i have everything to do with these creatures atleast 10 toys ,cds ,dvds and even on youtube iwatch monkey videos .Yep i have learnt partial internet navigation ......running th emouse over and clicking .....for me computer is youtube ....

Ditto for mangoes

I am quite a nature lover and my dadaji is very proud of it .Give me a space of green and open and animals and birds and i am very happy .

Not seein much of the outdoors due to rains and am pretty irritated at that.

I love watching ads on tv ....my favourie is the ramesh and suresh ad of 5 star and i enact it with my man friday Rajesh .

Check Out my brave effort at Bungee .....was the youngest kid to attempt it ... Check out the second 15 seconder to get the idea of the height .......Please watch the full 2 minutes to get the full gist of my effort

The Ficticious Characters in My Life

Growing up is now fast .I have grown few more inches and am much taller than what i was .On the way to the year 4 i have added a lot of tantrums ( all signals of being a spoilt brat ) but at the same time i am throwing up moments of brilliance ( this helps to nullify the tantrums ) .
I have decided to dedicate this piece to some of the ficticious characters created in my life by mom and dad .

1.Batman

I am quite a super hero fan and this one is my favourite .Whenever given a chance to decide what i want to be i choose the batman .In my collection i have a batman doll ( big one ) ,batman night suit ,bat man crocs .

2.The Black fairy

This was created to attribute the bad things that happen to me or done my mom and dad ,to .eg my favourite toys dissapear ,black fairy has taken it my milk bottles ,black fairy has taken them and so on .This character has really been not only taking things from me it has been the cause of alllittle problems in my life .I had to find a way to get around this one .Here is what i did : One day at school my teacher gave me home work which i purposely did it wrong ...and when the teacher asked me why i did that ....i said ...."the black fairy whispered in my years to to it that way " .Well th enext tday my mom was summoned and informed the same .....and viola ...the black fairy is now out of my life for good ...

3.Spiderman and Superman

When i wass asked to create something in the drawing classs ,while all were making mountains and hills and birds ..i said that i wanted to make spiderman ...but i like batman more

other fascinations i have is with fruits and animals ...quite usual for kids my age ....but i take it a bit too seriously ...i have been taking them to bed with me me the real things .

Also i must tell you about this little trip of mine to the farm house in mangaon ...the one where dadaji has grown mango trees for me to pluck mangoes .It was one hell of a trip where i saw lot of fruits and animals ( bought make 3 baby chicks home ) .But gosh it was exhausting ...Will post photos of the trip next time .

I have also become a good boy and i know that there is a God and i pray to him for things big and small ....i prayed for nanaji to become okay and mostly i pray for certain toys i want which i always seem to get after praying .

I am also a fashion freak .Very choosy of what i wear .Current Subhaan trend ....animals on t- Shirts .And i actually pick up my own tee-s.the ones i choose with my own intelligence i wear them 4 days on the trot, at a minimum ( yep ....it is washed at night and kept ready for me to wear the next morning ) .Eccentricities of the genius in making :) ( actually a silliness of a brat who is being allowed to have it his own way )

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 .

३.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 .

Terror twos and Threes

Singh Is Kiing

First Bus Ride SSQ(Subhaan Style Quotient ) and My First Pet




I turned 2 on 24 Nov, entered what the Drs call as terror twos and threes .Reason : babies at this time are at the troublesome highest .

This year i had a low key birthday ....looks like people start taking you for granted so soon .Low key yes but yet i ended up cutting 3 cakes at different locations .
1.At dahs and mammas office (i was half sleep and couldnt figure out what all the strangers around me were upto )

2.At a orphanage ,where i hosted a party for 350 kids .All of them sang a happy birthday in unison (not exactly but atleast the first two lines were deafening ).

3.A family Dinner at a rooftop restaurant .here is where people discovered my love for music .There was loud music (of someone else party)to which i yelled and danced to everyones surprise ,who uptil now knew nothing of my gyratting skills .

My Top 5 numbers for which i have different moves based on the pitch

1.Siingh is Kiing ( the snoopy dogg one )
2.Jee Karta (Siingh is Kiing )
3.Nagada (Jab We met )
4.Aaakho mein teri (Om Shaanti Om )
5.Desi Girl (dostana )
6.Maa Da Ladla Bigad gaya - Dahs says this song is very appropriate for me .

By the way, i am now schooling at a local montessari and my teacher says i keep babbling .It took me a week to open my mouth and now i somehow dont seem to be able to shut up .

Some other stuff

1.Daji (Dadaji ) got me 4 rabbits for a few days from his farm .I took full advantage of it to become the most popular kid in the building .Well now atleast everyone knows me in the bldg.

2.Weddings Galore - In last two months have attended so many weddings .I have been amused by one thing ,the "Chikis " my terminology for brides ,stand at one place with so much clothes and jewllery grinning at everyone .Anyway the good part is that it is followed by music and dancing .

3.Jadoo Ki "Huggi"(hugs not to be confused with diapers )
I see kids my size guys /gals ,even stotal strangers , and i give them a "Huggie"- a loving embrace .I am choosy about this though .While the mums of the recepient say how cute and how sweet ,the reciever does not know where to look and what to do .All in good taste .

Mention the word huggi to me and i will give a embrace (only kids )
