Latest Craze
My latest craze is “paper quilling”.
Crafts was one of my hobbies during schooling but didn’t get back to it for last few years. While googling, I recently came across paper quilling and was able to find out a reason to start again. Not waiting anymore, went to Ibrahim Street (just behind Commercial Street) and purchased the required material. Below are first few outcomes of my trial :)

Evening walk with an ice cream
Last weekend N and I were walking towards the car after having our meal at Mcdonalds on New BEL Road. It was around 10 pm and I saw two girls having ice creams and walking in front of us. I pointed out to N saying, having a college campus makes the surroundings lively even at odd hours. People can reach out to shops late in the evening and especially near Ramaiah college until 11PM. You get to see youngsters hanging around and enjoying their college days. In fact I was way back in my thoughts remembering my college days. I just loved the idea of having an ice cream and walking towards hostel chit chatting with friends. With all these thoughts running in my mind, I realised that these girls were doing their evening walk while eating ice cream. A way to loose few calories before ice cream adds up some more. I could infer that their ice creams added more calories than what they burnt!

Thatha
Putti's favourite word is "Thatha", could be because it is easy for her to pronounce at this age. It is also true that her Thatha is always with her at home spending his happy retired life.
Today when I was getting ready to office, Putti took Rs 10 from my hand; pointing her little finger in the note she looks at me saying Thatha Thatha...
I Smiled and Said Yes little one its Gandhi Thatha :)
Its amazing how these little brains co-relate!

Dieting
Last week when I was returning home, I overheard an interesting conversation:
Boy A - You have put on so much of weight man. Look at your tummy
Boy B - Yes man. I am playing basket ball to loose some weight.
Boy A - Playing basketball does not help much. You should start dieting.
These boys were not more than 8 years old. I was tempted to stand and see how their conversation would end but I passed off. I didnt know about dieting until I was in Engineering :)

Putti's Pastimes
Mirror Act
Putti is very fond of seeing herself in the Mirror. She stands in front of the mirror and stares for few seconds. With her index finger she touches her reflection and says Papa....Papa....and smiles. Sometimes she takes a few steps back, peeps into the Mirror and gives a big laugh. Touching her nose and touching her nose in the mirror excites her. Comb is another good friend of her. Standing in front of the mirror and combing her hair is almost a daily task for her and we enjoy her act
Hot and Cold
Putti comes running when we open our refrigerator to get a tomato. She always manages to get one. She takes the tomato and keep it on everyone's cheeks. We are suppose to say Shhhh.....aaaaaa thumba thandi( Its very cold). When her food is hot and she is in hurry to eat she does woooof wooof and tell us its Shhhhhhhhh aaaaaa (meaning its hot )
Putti on Phone
Sometimes putti picks up the phone, presses few buttons and starts speaking. We can’t understand her language but we love her speaking in her own language. She pretends to be in a very serious conversation and keeps moving her hand as if she is explaining something to the other person. She also pauses in the middle makes us feel she is listening to someone on the other end. Once she finishes her chit chat, turns back to us handing over the receiver and points to hook it.
