My first Outing

Once again to customs and their fallout. It seems, I had to be taken out before I turned a month old. So what better place to go than to the temple? So we went to Sri Balaji temple at Aurora, IL.

It seems Amma and Nanna were praying very hard that I behave myself during my first outing. Consequently, for no apparent reason, I fell asleep during the trip. All the while when Amma, Nanna, Mamma and Tata were having their Darshan, I was asleep. Little did they know that it was just the calm before the storm.

As soon as we started from the temple.... I mean AS SOON AS we started from the parking lot, the storm broke out. For those of you who did not understand what I meant.... I started crying. I wasn't sure if it was because I was hungry... or because my diaper was full. More likely it was a combination of the both. Doesn't matter. The end result was that Nanna had to perform a U-turn and bring us all back to the temple parking lot.

Decision making could be tough even in the easiest of times. Imagine how tough it would have been for Amma to decide what to do first. To feed me or to change the diaper? I will not tell you what Amma did.... let that be a secret for now.

Anyway, let it be known that Amma's attempts were successful and we reached home, though a little late. This is how we looked like when we reached home.

Chak de India...

A lot of you remember Chak de India as a great movie. Cricket fans will remember it as something that inspired the Indian cricket team to victory. A lot has been said about the movie... but you will all forget it. But I wouldn't. I will always remember Chak de India as my first movie in a cinema. I wasn't even 3 months old when I went to this movie. Now now, don't start asking me the story and all. I told you that I went to the movie. Not that I 'watched' the movie. In fact, the only thing I remember about the experience was that it was dark and loud. Nanna chose a good time to take me to this movie. He chose Sunday morning - a day that most people like to spend at home or church. So when we went to the cinema, there were 1002 people in the hall, give or take a thousand. So with Tata, Mamma, Nanna, Amma and myself, the hall occupancy increased 350%! We chose a strategic place to sit which allowed Amma an opportunity to slip out of the auditorium without much fuss.

Christmas plan

It's Christmas time. And everyone in the US spends Christmas with their family and friends. We are no different and decided to do the same. So, where do we go to? After checking the maps, distances, airports, air fares and a lot of other factors, we finally decided on going to Ravi Mama's place in NJ. That is short for New Jersey.  NJ is about 550 miles from our place - too far to drive with someone like me (that is, someone who doesn't like sitting in the car seat for extended periods of time - read here , here and here ). So, we were left with no other option but to fly. But the nearest airport is about 50 miles for us... and the nearest big-sized airport is about 100 miles for us (either Detroit, Dayton, Cleveland or Columbus). After using a computer to crunch out various combinations (just kidding), we decided on a reasonable, not-so-expensive route. Columbus - Philadelphia! This tricky route included... a) A 100 mile drive from home to Columbus airport. About 2 hr driv...

Hello World...

I am Lasya Dhulipala. I came into this world on the 27th of June, 2007 at 14:32 CDT. For those of you statistically inclined, I weighed 7 lb 9 oz and measured 20.5 inches at birth. For those of you medically trained, I was delivered normally with Apgar scores of 7 and 9. The neonatologist had to check me because I pooped while in mommy's tummy. I love my mommy because she really really wanted me to come out early. But I was cross with daddy. He did not leave mommy's side to kiss me when the doctor with big spectacles and blue coat took me to check and clean. And what a cleaning it was. I was scrubbed clean (yuk, I hate that), made to wear one of those white shirts with a pink lining. How did those people know that I liked pink? Anyway, as soon as that was done, one of the nurses carried me and thrust me into daddy's arms. Did I see a tiny tear in the corner of his eyes? Poor daddy.... maybe he was worried about mommy and that was why he didn't kiss me as soon as I ca...
