We had been to the market in the morning at 8. It was drizzling. Anish is very
happy today because the moment he woke up, he was out in the car. We finished getting
vegetables and came home at 9:20. Then the breakfast session started. We quickly
finished our breakfast.

Swati started feeding the boy. The boy finally finished by 10:30. His meals normally last for at least one and a half hours. Today he was a bit fast. Probably, he was a bit hungry (no wonder, he did not have anything last night).

This cold whether here is taking its toll on his nose. On top of that today I gave him a bath. I kept the hot water ready for him in the bathroom and came out to get his towel. It was hardly some 20 seconds. By that time he is totally wet with at least 3 mugs of water on his head. I quickly gave him a bath and sent him out to Swati. Swati made him warm with the clothes. But, these 3 mugs are enough to bring back the just concluded cold that he suffered the whole of last week.

As usual, he refused to eat his lunch and was feeling very sleepy. Eventually, he slept at 1 and by the time we finished our lunch, it was 2. Then I went and slept next to him. At 4:30 we woke up and got ready for the Auto Expo.

Meanwhile, one of our neighbors (One Gujarati lady) called all the children in our street
to her home at 5. Swati and Anish went and he got a nice wall clock as a gift. The lady's son's office celebrated the children's day and he brought all those gifts home and distributed them to the kiddos.

We headed to Vaahan Yatra with lots of expectations. It was not as exciting as last year's. But, the ultimate fellow enjoyed it thoroughly. Shouting constantly ca ca ca ca (car car...). In the bike stall, there was this POCKET BIKE from YAMAHA. Even big big fellows were sitting on it and taking photographs. I thought of taking some snaps of Anish. But this fellow as usual looked at the wheel and started paying with it. The first photo shows this.


Swati put him on the bike and then I clicked.

We finished and came out for some snacks there in one of the food stalls. We saw the Mirchi bajji stall and immediately attacked them. Lovely whether to have hot hot bajjis. But the little fellow refused to eat food and slept on the way. We reached home at 9. The moment the car stopped, this fellow woke up and started his usual stunts. Then we gave him his dinner. What a dinner, it was a thickly made dosa. That is what he is eating. He lost interest in food these days due to cold. Finally, he slept at 10:30.

Today's vaahan yatra visit was over in 1 hour. It is pretty fast. Last year, it took almost 2 and a half hours to completely see all the stalls. And we went without the little fellow that time. There is some coincidence. It was raining last year also when we went to vaahan yatra. I hit another car in that heavy rain, and then we missed the way and went somewhere else. Swati was shouting at me. It is already more than 3 hours, my baby is at home, I don't know whether the babysitting lady is taking care of him or not, etc. This year it was very pleasant, the little fellow cooperated well when I was checking those cars and all.
