you know you are on a vacation when...



Your day starts with a big piece of dark chocolate which is more than what you normally eat over a week! :)




When you have unending supply of Ajobas and aajis who will do anything to see you smile and chuckle. Even if it hurts their legs and backs!






Someone or the other ready to give up their rest time to swing along with you either just for fun or





or to make you sleep when you are all tired and sleepy



Bath times are even more fun when daadi specially get the tub down from the loft and then bathes you too! And when you are having so much fun, how can Daadu stay away?! :)
:) :) :) :) :)



You can monkey around as you like! Climb on the step ladder or


Or get thrown around by Ujoba during bedtime making full use of rows and rows of gaddas!
It took us a good 20mins to wind you down post this session with favourite Ujoba! :)
When you could semand 5 people to go out and jump with you! All the time!


and when you could eat alu bhajiya with sauce while on a picnic! :)



and then you got to cozy up and sleep with your panjoba (great grand father) making him and us very happy! :)

Seeing you with all these people who love you to bit made us count our blessing yet again. Be it Vandana aaji who made besan laddus for you or you Aaji who worked endlessly for your birthday and kept curing you with excellent home remedies or Ujoba who could make you laugh in a jiffy to Vijoba who planned your party so perfectly or Ajoba who put you to sleep every single day with his gentle patting. Dada - Dadi who planned the 2 dats we spend with them so beautifully and Panjoba who was so proud to see his great grand child bonding with him! :)
May this love keep getting showered on you, protect you and may you return it in equal measure and more.
Love ya!

Faltu we went to Mulshi dam. Cubby could have seen the waterfalls right here. Absolute first-rate, heart-felt and super-touching post...

Touch wood. Touch forest. God bless the brat-- and his wonderful aajis and ajobas!

Baby still searching for your 'core compitence'!!!??. Getting difficult to wait for the two birthdays and Mulsi dam drive posts.
Selection of photos will remain your best of Abha's for quite some time to come.
