Diwali Dhamaka

This Diwali, we decided to go to Indore to be with Nana Nani.
Tanu mama also joined us...


I was in favour of a pollution free Diwali, but Nanaji had already purchased stuff for me. What could I do? Nanaji also gave me his walking stick... which I used to light the crackers, and be safe.



I enjoyed thoroughly. Looks like Dadduna also had a good time

We also had some serious work to do. Like drafting a wedding card for Tanu Mama.

It was good that I was there to give inputs.

What would they do without me? Anyways, it got done soon and then I started with my caricatures. Folks believe its quite abstract!

Papi aaji also dropped in. She was the lady who delivered me into this world, you know.
We share a special equation.

A special modeling session was organised and I tried some interesting poses.

I especially like this one. Why? Because I am wearing pink!


Laxmi Pooja was special. I wore a sari.

I helped the seniors in the conduct of the Pooja

Quite a solemn occasion, huh?

So solemn that I decided to give mammunya a huggie

Special moments with Mammunya and Dadduna

Women in sarees...

Post Pooja, I was famished. Ate a couple of special Indori pedas.

With Tanu Mama

I liked the relaxed atmosphere post Pooja

Women in sarees...

The Bima Nagar gang! A happy one :-)

Matheran trip

I took Dadduna and Mammunya to Matheran for a couple of days, before Diwali holidays. The idea was to chill. And chill we did!!

We took it easy after reaching our hotel... it was a heritage hotel. Everything was heritage...including the bathrooms, fans..... :-)

Dadduna went to fight with the hotel people for a room change, while I did some sketches

I am getting better at it everyday


I can now draw human caricatures, with eyes, nose and lips in the right places :-)

We met the 'Master' family at Matheran and they were cool! Thats me with Priyanka, Airyaman, and Arnavaz aunty!

Priyanka and me bonded quite well!

The families did a couple of points together.... we went to Echo Point, where me and Priyanka yelled a lot! I called our Dora and you know what! She responded!

I called for Boots also...

Dadduna also acted as my horse. The good part about this horse was that he listened to my instructions quite well. I just had to pull his ears for getting his attention. And he sang my favourite songs like 'Nagaada baja'

I took a brief nap also on the way....

Me, Mammunya and Dadduna

Day 2 was a little disappointing. It was raining cats and dogs, and monkeys as well!!
I had to sit in my room, sip tea, and generally relax

Good that Dadduna carried his laptop. I watched my favourite 'Blue Doggy' CD

And Mammunya read me a couple of good stories. I especially like the story about the old lady in China...

The return journey was very cool & misty! And the view was terrific. We took a couple of breaks enroute...

Saw a couple of waterfalls....

Its not what you think!

I was just playing with the water :-)

And guess what, when we stopped for lunch, who did we meet again! The 'Master family'!! We had a great time in the play area....

Post lunch, I slept off in the car, and hence the story ends here.
