Summer vacation is over; Keshav turns 3

It has been 3 months since the last update. Quite a few things to catch you up on.

In April we went down south to Tanjavur & Peravoorani to give Keshav his first 'mottai' ('mundan' or tonsuring). It was good that we did the trip before it warmed up. Anu and the kids spent a couple of weeks at their GP's house in Chennai.

In May, we visited Pune, Mumbai and Mahabaleshwar. For the kids, this is the first trip to Mumbai, and for us, after several several years. Mumbai is Bangalore in 2X fast forward - just amazing. Pune is more laid back and hilly. We made a one day trip to Mahabaleshwar which is about 120 kms from Pune on the hills. We went to strawberry farms and raced ATVs on dirt.

The schools reponed in June. Keshav started his pre-school with reluctance. He is now enjoying his school and friends. Vallabh went to I Standard (1 grade) in the same school (PSBB). Keshav goes to Kidzee which is a franchise of Zee films. The school is just 2-3 blocks from our campus. Anu gets to have some free time between 9:30 and Noon these days.

Anu and I got ourselves enrolled in Pilates and Yoga - mine is from 6-7a and hers from 11a-noon. Whether we lose weight and get slimmer is to be seen.

Keshav celebrated his 3rd birthday yesterday. The party as in the terrace and we had hired a 'baloon-twister' which was a hit.
