From the Land of GranPa

Okay, it's been a while. Been busy packing, shopping & traveling. Then recuperating from the ususal chest congestion which attacks soon as I land in Jaipur. Now there's more shopping, planning and stuff. Chacha's wedding.

So you had your first flight, first tuk-tuk ride and first meet & greet with Grandys. Hope it's been fun. I am sure the tuk-tuk must have shaken you up real bad. The doc said you are okay to fly, we should have actually checked about boarding the tuk-tuk. While we were there, we heard your heartbeat again. Awesome!

Here again everybody is doting on Mommy and she's enjoying all the attention. It is going to be tough to care for her with all the wedding goings-on. We will spend a whole month here. Tho, the congestion yesterday made me feel that we should go back right away.

Guess, exciting times lie ahead during this month, or so I hope. Weddings can be a bit much on the nerves for the hosts & the planners. Not to mention the groom & the bride! We'll ask chacha later.

Still we haven't seen your chachi & her family in person. They were quick to call & chat, but we could not manage to go to Ajmer to meet them. Tinkoo chacha talks to chachi almost all of the time on phone. Fun to plan all the stuff for him - honeymoon, sherwani, other dresses etc.

Preparing for vacation.

So the tickets are bought, gifts finalized, the bags half packed and we are ready to board. Even mommy is quite excited about meeting Dadi, Chacha and Parul bua. As for me, I could have done another 3 trips if we had the money!!

Flying home is quite an experience, as you will see when you are born. Though don't know if & how much you will like going down to India & Philippines. Wonder if all your early years will be spent in the cold mannered, air-conditioned city. Whether Dubai will be what you call home. Will be cool tho, if all your forms filled up will say Place of Birth- "Dubai".

So now the excitement of flying to India takes over from the worries that we had over Nani being sick & the floods etc. from last month. Today it is another 14 days to go. Will be a lot of fun getting Tinkoo Chacha married. All will see you & mommy's tummy and be happy. Mommy likes that attention a lot, so she'll love it. Hope we can take good care of you during this month, and stress mommy as less as possible.
