My India Trip - 2013

Yeah!!!!!!! I have vistied india for the first time, ofcourse i went when i was 1 yr old, but cant remember anything about that!! So considering this as my first ever trip to India. It was an awesome trip, I said bye bye to naana, and then went onto an aeroplane and then landed at singapore, and again waited there for sometime and then got onto another aeroplane and landed in India in the night. It was on september 2nd 2013. The moment i landed, i like the place and said 'i love this place amma' to my mom :). Then when we went out i have seen my aabu thatha and ammamma........ i went running to my thatha....... My ammamma came running behind me and gave me a bouquet. It was very nice. Then we hopped onto aabu thatha's car and went to their home. There i got to see my aabu thatha's mom and dad. They are my great granny's. As it was night... just slept after some time and then got up early in the morning and went on a motor bike ride with my aabu thatha, got milk for my ammamma. you know, it is very much different to Australia. There in India i can see lot of people and many go on motorbike too. i went to shopping aswell and got lotsssssss of new clothes... But bathrooms were wet, which i didn't like :(. But thatz ok, amma said, i have to get used to them. I went to chinni atha's (dad's cousin sisiter) house and got to see my youngest cousin, her name is 'Joshitha'. we gave all the gifts we took for her Then on sept 9th , there was a festival called Ganesh Chaturthi. i love that festival soooooooooo much. aabu thatha and ammamma stay in an apartment, so there all uncles went and got a biggggg Ganesh, and placed it next to bikes and cars. Sankaraya, watchman of the apartment build a house for Ganesh. it was very nice. Then everyone did pooja for 11 days........ i learnt a few things to say when it is ganesh festival.... "JAI BOLO GANESH MAHARAJ KI JAIiiiii.." and "GANATHI(GANAPATHI) PAPA MOYA(MORIYA)"aabu that taught me. it was awesome, they have a mike and speaker, so i got a chance to sing telugu rhymes.... and all aunties,uncles and anna's liked me a lot..... and i was the youngest........... Naani babai (dad's cousin brother), came to see me from vizag... he took me around hyderabad and shown me how they put Ganesh jeji in water. Then we went to tirupati in a bus, it's a place where we can see Govinda jeji(god's) house. There to see Govinda jeji, we have to go in a queue, but there were lotsssss of people and i got squeezed, then aabu thatha and amma carried me all the way till Govinda jeji, and i used to say "Govinda...Goooooovinda" while standing in the queue. it was also good. While coming back to home,in bus i got to see Mahesh babu movie. :) Then we went to shiridi in a bus again,it's a place where we can see Sai Baba jeji(god's) house. There to see SaiBaba jeji, we have to go in a queue, though, there are lots of people, i didn't get squeezed up, so i could walk till i see jeji, i walked all the way saying "om sai sri sai jai jai sai" . it was also good. Again while returning back home,in bus i got to see a movie. :) Then it was nimarjnam (to immerse ganesh jeji in water) time. Then we got to wear white shirt, and put all colours on it (it looks soooooo much colourful). Then there were a few pple who were playing drums, me along with anna's danced a lotttt for that drum music. Then we hopped onto the truck where we have put ganesh, and then started travelling towards water. Then it started raining heavilyyyyyyyyy, i fully got wet and started shivering. Then i went inside the truck and sat in one of the uncle's lap. Then we came back home.........had bath, got ready again went down to play tambola........ as i was youngest, i got a chance to pick the numbers :) Had dinner... came up into the house and slept..... Next day morning.........we packed our bags and went to Vijayawada........... i love this place, as all my cousins (from mom's side) stay in vijayawada..... First we went to Gopi Thatha's house (aabu thatha's cousin brother),got to see Gopi thatha's mom and dad and there i could see all the village... buffalos, hens and i went to their friends house and got the chicks (they were colourful chicks) I played for some time and then we had to go to Kavitha Peddamma (amma's first cousin) house. there i have seen my first cousin , siri akka. We stayed at their place, and then next day went to aabu thatha's sister's place, oh my god!!!!!!!!!! there was nooooooooo current at all... I couldn't stay at all, all my body was getting all the rash...so i just went and sat in car along with aabu thatha, so that i can stay with AC. Then on the way back to Kavitha Pedamma's house, visited aabu thatha's parents home, stayed there for some time and returned back. Then next day went to Dr thatha's home and stayed there overnight. Then next day morning we went to see Naveena pedamma (amma's one of the cousin), there i have 2 cousins Isha akka and Neil anna.... they were nice, i like them and you know what...after coming to India, i could speak english happily with them.... even amma couldn't stop because Isha akka and Neil anna were also speaking in english. Then Ram pedananna showed me a mahesh babu movie called DOOKUDU, which i liked it. we stayed there for couple of days...went out for dinners and shopping... had lotssss of fun, but we had to return back to Hyderabad as Isha akka and Neil Anna were also having exams in their school and even Naana is going to join us soon. While coming i have seen my other cousins Shanthi akka, Munni akka too....... I have lots and lotsssss of couisns..yay!!! Finally retturned back to Hyderabad... and settled a bit and then Naana joined us on sep 25th 2013 Once Naana joined, we(Me, amma and Naana) went to Vizag (Naana's home town). There got to see Shravan Pedanaana, Prasad Thata, Naani babai, and chinna nayanamma. I had lotsssss of fun in vizag....i love the place as i got to go to beach and had loads of fun there.... we stayed there for a week and then returned back to Hyderabad as my birthday is nearing and aabu thatha has planned a very bigggggg party.... so finally it was Oct7th 2013. something special on the day... yeahhhh its my 5th birthday........ yes...now i am 5 years old..... growing very fast... Some of my relatives came home to join us for the party in the night. Woke up early in the morning and went to Sai baba jeji temple and have done pooja, later by mistake i hit my nose to one of the rod and it started bleeding... amma panicked a lot and luckily all people helped a lot and gave some ice to put on my nose to stop bleeding. Then went home took some rest. and then had got chance to play a bit with the relatives and afternoon amma made me sleep so that i will be good boy in the evening :) As you know, i am a good boy so i slept for couple of hours and woke and got ready very fast. But because of Hyderbad soooo many cars and so much traffic...me and amma went late to my birthday party :( But thatz ok... Naana and ammamma went there early to greet the friends who come to my birthday party :) After i went there was a person, who made us play few games. In one of the game kids parents have to come, but my amma and naana were veryyy busy greeting friends...so i became veryyyy upset and started crying.. :( Then ammamma took me to amma and then amma came along with me to play the game :) After finishing games, its time to cut the cake.... which is more exciting for me.....but the moment i saw cake, i said... amma its all Pink in colour :( (In India they don't care on colours for boys and girls, so the cake shop people made it a pink cake) so we just cut the cake and put the cake away, so that it won't come in the photos:) Then all uncles and aunties and relatives came and blessed me and gifted some money and some toys. I sat like a good boy in the Chair... I am alwaysss a good boy....... :) Then everyone had dinner, and left... we had couple of photos and then even we went home back. It was all good i had lot of fun except that i missed my australia friends.... Then it was time to come back to australia....yeah end of our holiday... on Oct11th 2013. We(Me, amma and Naana) packed all our luggage and boarded flight to return back. I was missing my friends in asutralia too...so even i wanted to come back... so it was all good send off...:) So finally it was gooood tripi with lots of motor bilke rides, shopping and got to meet lotss of cousins and friends... Mainly knowing about India was lots of fun. If you get a chance you also visti India....
