27th July – 2nd Aug 2015 [Kabir goes to Mumbai ]

 

26th July Sun: Officially Kabir stepped out of the house for first time on social call. He along with his mother and Nani, visited his great grandmother at Krshna Kunj. On Rinky’s demand, mummy has set her base again at Krshna Kunj. Rinky is good at emotional blackmail, she had 'pattooed' mummy for long stay in KK. 

Soon, Kabir will take his mother and Nani to Mumbai for few days. Lot of Dhwani’s relatives and friends want to meet and greet her and have a first look of KhushiRam. And she wants the change of scene, so next week, Kabir will also be available in Matunga.

Meanwhile he has learned to give wide range of expressions. Just to see if he can identify different sounds, I made variety of sounds. And to my surprise, he had good range of expressions to give me, which I named like, single eye, dimple one, toothless, not here etc. 

 And on popular demand I am uploading one picture of KhushiRam. Any good caption for this?

Is this picture connected with sounds, or he just went on in his happy mood? No clue. But one thing is sure, he has started responding to our communication with grunts or moans or buzz. And new thing which I taught him to do was how to push oneself up. 

Sat: Dhwani brought Kabir to office for the first time. And he was asleep in his mother's arm. So, I feel he is not going to follow his father with regard to work. Nor his grandfather and Great - Chachu battalion. Muskan and Akshay have returned from a very happy, enjoyable and relaxing wedding in Baroda. Full chawla gang of 40 'baratis' had a gala time over there, I missed this opportunity, specially, great photos chances. They made a sensible short and sweet trip of three days, including travel. All were together in Rajdhani, both times. Wow. 

Sun: Early morning Kashyap & Family left for Mumbai. There has being fresh land slide on Ghats, and expressway was closed from 10 to 5 am, so heavy traffic was expected. But by 7.15 they had crossed Ghats. This lucky strike is due to Kabir, as this was his first trip. And I am happy to note that he has also got traveling bug, because a> he is Dodeja, b> in spite of odd against smooth trip, his first trip to Matunga was very smooth and economical. Kashyap has investigated options like Taxi - Zoom Cab - Self Driven Car etc, but Akshay managed to arrange for Kamal Khetan's Innova for him. He gracefully gave free run for his car. So this made the trip very economical and smooth. Door to door within 3.5  hours and at cost of diesel, which is cheaper by Rs: 3.5, since last night!

And we are in month of August, traditionally the picnic/outing month. Need to wake up 'Chillam Chilli' group. It has being very long time.
