pollution?

Pollution.. Whats that.
My little sister and I have not been well. We have been coughing and little Anvi has a running nose also. My Aji (grandmother) was not well yesterday - so the doctor came home. She was nice and she gave me a candy. She then checked Anvi and me - and told us that we have a cough because of the pollution here...

whatever....
We now get to take various medicines to battle the cough...

Baba is coming soon... will be fun!

More on India activities

Its almost 2 months since I have been in India. There are so many thing that I like to do here. This is a list of things I like to do (that most likely I will not do back in US)

• like to open and close the door for all & sundry..
• I am the telephone handler..
• lift operator..press G for ground & 5 to go up.. (Aji-Ajoba stay on the 5th floor)
• unroll the carpet after the cleaning lady is done
• pass out the diaper for Anvi, my favorite diaper being the simba-nala one. My lil sister looks so cute in the Simba-Nala diaper... (but you will not be able to see the diaper :-) )
• I love to sit in the riksha and give out the money (riksha=autorikha=convienient mode of transportation)
  

I am generous - I love to hand out money to a lot of people

• give money to the istriwala (guy who irons clothes)
• give money to the fishwali (fish vendor who actually visits home)
• give money to dukanwala.. (i.e shopkeeper. lots of cash transactions)
  

On another note My dad is coming soon..and then it is my baby sisters birthday..wov

Enjoying India

I am in India for the past two months. Mostly I stay in Mumbai. For a week, I stayed in Pune with ajoba (paternal grandfather). My dad is not here and I am eagarly waiting for him to come. These days I watch Dora - in hindi. I am so happy that I get to watch Dora - that the language does not matter. My mommy tells everyone that I have picked up Marathi and am speaking it well. My little siste Anvi is crawling everywhere. Sometimes I help her walk. She always wants to play with all my toys. If I take back my toys from her, she start crying. In Mumbai, I love to play with my ajoba(grandad) and aji (grandmother).
Sometimes there is an exibition/sale in the grounds near our house. I like visiting the exibition grounds. They have a lot of things to sell there.
I do a variety of activities here. I love to pre-soak the washing clothes. I help aji with this task. Its a lot of fun to play in the water.

My dad calls me everyday and I love to talk to him on the phone. Sometimes I dont know what to say- so I sing songs.

More later...
