Keshav questions Papa's managerial skills

A while ago, Mummy and I left for Delhi to meet Nana-Nani. I said bye to Papa, Arjun Bhaiya and Masi. As we were about to leave for the airport, I realised that we had not locked the house. Some thief could come and steal all my birthday gifts and other things kept in the house.

Me: "Mummy, you haven't locked the house. Some thief could come and steal from our house? You should lock it."

Papa: "Keshav, but Arjun Bhaiya and Masi are at home only. And I am also not going to Delhi. So I will also be there. So there is no problem."

Me: "Will you be able to manage it, Papa? Are you sure?

Keshav knows all about cricket

I know all about our Indian cricket team. Yesterday, I was telling Fariyaaz Uncle all about it. I told him that our best batsman is Sachin Tendulkar. We have a lot of other batsmen as well - Yuvraj, Dhoni, Raina, and so on. We also have some good bowlers like Zaheer Khan. Harbhajan cannot bat. He can only bowl.

Then when Mummy and I were sitting at the doctor's clinic, I was trying to read what was written on my cricket bat. With great difficulty (and a little bit of help from Mummy), I managed to figure it out - "Dhoni Dhamaka".

As I was mulling over it, I realised that no one had ever taken me for a cricket match ever.

Me - "मम्मी, आप तो मुझे कभी क्रिकेट मैच में ले कर ही नहीं गए!!!" (Mummy, you have never taken me for a cricket match ever!!) 

My buddy bats for me..

At Oberoi Springs I have a dear friend - Ved. We go to school together in the same mini-van, now we are in the same class as well and when at home, we play a lot together. We fight a lot also, like the other day when he and Sanath decided to play cricket and did not let me play with them.

But he is also very cute. The other day when I wanted to play with him and not go for my skating class, he walked all the way with me to skating class and made sure I went for it.

Ved has a very nice tool kit in his house. Whenever I go there, we only play with that and repair everything that is in sight. Yesterday, Ved's Mummy went to the market to buy a birthday present for me. She got a tool-kit for me which was different from the one Ved has.

Ved: "Mummy!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?? Keshav will not play with this tool-kit. I am telling you. He wants one like me only. What have you done!!!"

Then finally Ved and his Mummy hunted a tool-kit similar to the one he has. And I am going to get it tomorrow during my birthday party. Yippeee...

Keshav is a big boy

Very soon I will be FOUR years old - On 13th April. We are celebrating my birthday on 10th though.

Four is very big. So now I have started to act like a big boy. I try and eat my breakfast on my own. I do a lot of other things on my own.

Tonight, however, I surprised Papa. After having a long chit-chat with Papa, I was trying to sleep alone in my room. Papa was sitting outside and working and watching TV. Before sleeping, I was watching the BMW and Speed Racer videos on Papa's blackberry.

As I prepared to close my eyes, I felt like I wanted to go to the toilet. So I got up, opened the bathroom door in the dark, switched on the light (after standing on the stool ofcourse) and started to pee.

Just then Papa came in to check what was happening. First he was surprised to not see me in bed, then even more surprised to see me in the bathroom all by myself.

He stood around while I finished, washed my hands, switched off the lights and went back to bed.

I am a big boy now.

My first day in Prep I - B

I am now almost 4 years old. When I was almost 3 years old, I started going to Play School C at Arya Vidya Mandir. Now that I am almost 4 years old, I have started going to Prep I - B.

Last Friday was my first day in this new class. The best thing about Prep I -B, you know, is that both my friends from my building - Ved and Roan - are also in Prep I - B. We all go together in the same van and now we will sit together in class also.

Anyways, here is more about my first day to Prep I - B. As soon as I got off the van, one Didi asked me what my new class was. I told her that I have to go to Prep I - B. She then held my hand and took me to my new class. My friend, Ved - I think his legs were paining, was coming behind much more slowly and reached way after me. My other friend, Roan, did not come by the van that day. He had come by his car and had reached well before us. However, when I reached the class, I saw that Roan was sitting on the side-table and crying. He wanted to go back to his old class. His Mummy was also there and was trying to make him become quieten down.

Bharti Teacher, our new teacher, was already in the class and was doing some work. She was writing something on the books. Then someone got our handbooks and gave it to her. She stapled a note on it and gave it to each of us.

Bharti Teacher also told us that this year we have to a lot of studies. We will get big-big text books. But because it is the first day, we don't have to study today.

While Bharti Teacher finished all this work, Ved and I were chatting away. He has also joined Honeybees, though he is on a different day than me. So I was telling him about how much fun it is.

After all this we went to the big bathroom (not the babies one which Play School kids use), but the big one. We washed our hands there and then had our snacks. We got some very yummy macaroni there.

Finally, the school got over and we left to go into our van and come back home.
