Abhinav takes his first wicket in a match/Tooth Fairy finally comes

By
Last time Abhinav took a wicket was in the practice nets.  Last weekend was his match and he succeeded in getting a wicket in a real match.  He was super excited and so was I.  As a father, there is never a better moment than seeing your son do well in a sport or any activity he participates in.  More than the wicket, the joy on his face was priceless and I will probably cherish it till I die.

Other interesting thing that happened in the past 2 weeks was Abhinav losing his his first tooth.
..And then came all kinds of questions on why the tooth had to come out.  What are milk teeth? What happens when the permanent ones fall off?  and on and on and on....

For now, we were able to satisfy his curiosity but his next tooth is also on its way.  Fun times indeed.

Kashti is more excited on the tooth part as she has been reading a few tooth fairy books and last week saw Janaki lose a tooth too :)

English Vinglish - My Review

By
This movie looked very promising from the promos.  It seemed like this movie would be an uplifting one and after watching the movie, I can safely say that it was. This is a story about a woman, a housewife, a mother (Sridevi) who is constantly chided by her husband and her daughter for not being able to speak English.  She felt as if she is unable to please her close ones with what she does.  She runs a small catering business from home. One day, she gets a call from her sister in the US to visit her as she needed Sridevi's help for her daughter's marriage.  Sridevi would have to go alone to a foreign land (her close ones would be coming late). She is dreading her visit to US alone since she does not know English. Once in the US, she is not able to communicate and gets a bit disheartened by it.  Once while visiting a place in New York, she saw an advertisement on a bus about learning English in 4 weeks.  She quietly decides to join these classes wi...

Abhinav joins cricket academy

By
As a young kid, around age of 7 yrs, I used to attend a cricket coaching camp with the Saurashtra Ranji cricketers.  it was split in to 2 sessions - morning and evening. The morning sessions consisted of exercises, sprints, duck walks, frog jumps and some tennis ball practice.  It was strenuous but a lot of fun.  being 7, I seemed to have a lot of energy and loved to participate in this regimen with people who played at the highest domestic level and I used to be in awe of them. In the evening session, we practiced with the leather ball.  Before that, however, we used to master our defensive shots (forward and back foot) with the hanging ball.  The whole point of this article to is to describe all the emotions that I felt when Abhinav started practicing his defense with the hanging ball.   I think the teachers are not as strict nowadays as before and kids have an option to explore things a bit more.  The regimen is not as strenuous and the empha...

Tsunami Relief

By
This has been an extremely terrible disaster. Being an Indian and having seen the Gujarat earthquake kill so many people, this just seems unreal to fathom that such a tragedy could strike again in span of such a few years. I just feel sad to start my blog with this piece of news. I offer my condolences to all the people who have lost their loved ones in all the countries affected by this tsunami. I would urge all the folks to donate or volunteer and help wherever possible. There are a number of relief agencies who are helping out and you can donate on their websites. The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami offers frequent updates on who is accepting donations and what is needed by the folks in the affected areas. Please please help. Even if you can only offer Rs. 1 or $1, please donate that. Collecting that from million people will amount to a lot of money.
