Suhani and kuku's visit to Srilanka (24.122011 -1.1.12)

The two adorable children of our house. Each day was so much of fun with them.

Kuku had started identifying some things........like every time he was on the road, he used to get very excited seeing the .....

lead auto.......( the red auto),

gleen auto.....( the green auto)....

And now I find the roads full of colourful autos.......they are in all colours that you can think of.....

Red,

Green,

Blue,

Black,

Cream,

And even a purple coloured one !

Now,whenever we are on the road, Shyam and I start screaming with joy, lead auto, gleen auto.....

On one of these days, while we were trying to exit our building....an American guy was telling Shyam to press the green button, to open the doors. After the fellow passed the doors...Shyam turns around and happily tells me that that man was saying.....

press the gleen button...., press the gleen button....!

The maid at home and the driver of the car , have positively made up their minds that both of us have gone mad...!

Some other memorable one liners of kuku were......

• Bola tha na maine..........tells the whole world....!
• Suhani, meli hai..............tells me....!
• Suhani ko godi le lo..........tells my dad.....!
• Bale nana chai....bana do.......said to my maid...!
• Bala wala paani jana hai.........refers to the sea......!

Suhani is quite a shy and a quiet child. But it was a real pleasure to see her playing and enjoying with the night kites at Galle Face Park.She was able to fly a kite very high....and very well. And in this trip I discovered that she has an uncanny knack of taking excellent pictures through my mobile phone. From a moving car, to be able to focus on distant objects is difficult. But this girl, took some amazing pictures. I was so awed by this, I had to ask Swati to get a camera for her........!

Suhani is 7 years old, and kuku is 2 years of age. In a few years time they will be all grown up.

But these moments of joy will always be with us............!
