A moonlight dinner

             Yes, the whole family had a gr8 time yesterday night having our dinner on the terrace with moonlight. Chitra poournami is day when ppl usually prepare mixed rice (kalandha sadam) and have their dinner in the moonlight. Don't know the reason behind it, but it was really amazing. So we carried mats , food , camera to terrace. Sanja on her part brought along her kutti papa. First Sanja had her share of Curd rice, looking at the stars, the big moon, aeroplanes then we all settled down for dinner.               The dinner itself was a simple affair - Chappathis, Thovayal( Chutney like), Milagu kozambu sadam, curd rice and of course papads. Sanja wanted her papads in a plate and kept creating menace by walking over to each dish and trying ti imitate us by serving food. She poured the curd on the mats and went off . After the dinner, we spent time chatting ...

Goodbye- moto w220 . Welcome home Sony Naite'

Image
My companion for 3 + years , the moto w220 finally fell silent on Friday. With all people speaking through it , the speakers jsut went bust. The company itself has shutdown the mobile division. It has suffered a lot in the hands of myself and Sanja , what with dropping it atleast once a day but it endured all this and didnt complain. Finally it broke having served its purpose in a dedicated way. While many ppl complained about Moto mobiles , my mobile proved otherwise. REST  IN PEACE ! So now to the new addition to my gizmo list -   is Presenting Sony Ericsson Naite' .  This has the 3G provision (though that feature might never get used). All the basic features available. It is termed "Eco-friendly" as the mobile has be made from recycled material. Go Green !!  !! Let you know how its working later on ...

The tigress and her almost mid-night prowl

What do you expect of a kid who has been playing for almost four hours that involved an hour of playing outside ? She would be exhausted and thankful that her Amma is putting her to sleep early so she could rest well and raise and shine next day. Day dreaming I say. Expect the unexpected. All the play left Sanja longing for more.      Sanja was in no mood to sleep yesterday. First she wanted the A/c to be switched on. Then she kept getting off her bed and running away to her grandparents room. After this activity, with all her strength she dragged her carton full of toys to the hall and started putting everything out. Dora, papa , dora papa sit here . She made them sit against the wall and proceeded to throw out all her toys. Then she ran again to her grandparents room, woke her up and made her also play alongwith us. The instant she ran away from her toys, I gathered them all and put them up in our room. She once again goes back and repeats the procedure crying out...
