Who I am, What I do and answers to Qs like that

The never-ending drive continued. From Ohio. To Kentucky. To Tennessee. To Arkansas. To Texas. We stopped the next night in a town called Texarkana . A very well thought out name. It was on the border of Texas and Arkansas. So Tex-arkana. Also Arkan-xas sounds too much like Arkansas - so it is Texarkana. Also, Texas is bigger and richer - than Arkansas. You get the picture, right? We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. By the time I woke up, Nanna was busy watching something on his laptop. Before I could ask him what - I heard him scream 'Out! Out!!'. When I asked Amma what was wrong she explained that Nanna was bitten by some nasty bug . The chirpy one. Poor Nanna. Amma says that Nanna was get better in a month or so. I hope so too! We started the drive to Houston. Amma and Nanna played as a team and shared the driving. And I played my part by listening to my songs. Over and over. I told y'all, I am a team player. A true Texan team player. We reached Houston late afternoon ...

Ok. Here is the wonderful plan that Nanna hatched. The packers/movers will come and take all the stuff at home. They will also take our Camry. And we will drive to Houston in our Sedona. 1200 miles. 20 hours. Car. Seat. No move. Hey, I am not complaining. I am a team player, am I not? ;-) Everything went according to the plan. Amma packed a lot of my toys and a lot of my DVDs into a box. We loaded some more boxes into the van and started off. But moving is so painful. I felt so sad to leave Naveen Uncle, Madhavi Aunty, Mouli Uncle, Anu Aunty and Pranav. Nanna says I might not meet them again. Bad Nanna. I started crying as soon as we started driving. I am going to miss them all. I dont want to leave Ohio :-(But Amma tricked me into listening to my favorite song - మాటే మంత్రము, మనసే బంధము ... I love that song soooo much that I insisted on listening to it all the time. Again and again. Serves them right for taking me away from Ohio. We kept driving south on I-75. Driving and driving and ...

It has been a very long time since I last blogged. I don't have any excuses - except that I have been growing. Fast. Real. Fast. I started going to pre-school. And started learning to swim. Real swimming and not the swim-acting that Nanna does. And I made a lot of friends. And I got a really cute portrait taken at school. But to Amma and Nanna's horror, I also started speaking in English. Only. Not the English that Nanna calls 'Des-english' but the American English - with an accent. You should have seen Nanna's face when I corrected the way he pronounced Olivia :-) Anyway, that's not what I intended to blog about. As I mentioned above - I am moving. We are moving. Amma wanted to move some place warmer where there are other Indians (I am sure so that she could Indianize me :-)). Nanna had an opportunity to move to Houston - what better place could there be. Nanna says he will have more opportunities there and the weather there will be closer to that of Vizag. ...
