Flying and Skiing in Manali



What an amazing holiday but we'll come to that a bit later!

My Nursery session got over last week and I'm no longer one of the junior most kids in the school. I will go to KG from next week and will now boss around with the new nursery kids. But i'll be a good helpful senior :).
My teachers (Audrey Ma'am and Rachna Ma'am) have been very proud of my performance. I'll miss them as well as Radha didi. I've improved in all the areas but to tell you the truth, the credit goes to Maa. She really worked hard on me and in spite of papa, managed to make me learn many things.

After a hectic year in school, we got a 2 week vacation. So we (maa, Garima bua, Saru maasi, Namrata bua and I) decided to go for an all-girls vacation to Manali. Papa was traveling to the US and was not supposed to come. As luck would have it, his trip got canceled and he too joined us. So, off we went - a gang consisting of 1 man and 5 women! :).

After a long bus journey, we reached Manali and just chilled out on day 1. We went and sat on the rocks near the river Beas and then went to the monastery.






adventure started the next day when we went to a place called Golaba (Snow Point). I had never seen snow before and was really excited about it. But what I experienced once we reached that place was beyond any expectations. We trekked on snow, made lovely snow men and enjoyed skiing. I loved my snow boots and skiing dress.










After this, we went to Solang Valley. The experience of flying can not be described! Everyone else was a bit scared but I had absolutely no fears. The only thing i didn't like was the fact that i got to fly only once!

Happy Holi 2010

Happy Holi everyone. Can't imagine it's already been a year since this!
Well, it was pretty much like last time - lots of color, fun and good food. All of us got together, bought different kinds of water cannons and balloons. You know what - most things including color, balloons and water cannons these days are imported from China! But the quality is so bad that all the water cannons that we got conked-off even before Holi started. My ma'am had explained to us in the class how to play Holi safely and decently. But it looks like when they were teaching these things to papa, he was absent.











My first overseas vacation

What a vacation it was! Lets start at the very beginning. I and Maa went off to Nani's place near Kanpur. As always, it was fun meetin...
