Sitting properly

Chiku has started sitting properly now.

We are now out of fear that she may fall and injure herself. We can confortably leave her anywhere without support.

Next step is to crawl - but from her attitute it seems that she is not interested in crawling - as she has started learning to stand up.

Lets watch!!!

Chiku's first visit to Tatanagar

After staying in Kharagpur for around a week, it was time to visit Rashmi's parents in Tatanagar also known as Jamshedpur - after Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata.

This was Chiku's second Train journey. We started off Kharagpur by Ispat Express at 8:35 in the morning. For the first time, maa came to station to see me off (yes, to see chiku off). Though she tried hard not to express her feelings - but it was seen very clearly from her face how sad she was.

This train journey was also very important for Chiku. This journey was short ( just 2 hours) - but without AC compartment, and with lots of noises like noises of train hitting tracks, people chatting, trains crossing each other - you dont get to hear these sounds when you are in AC compartment. So this was also something new to her. And she was completely puzzled - and again tried to analyze everything.

After an hour - she slept on Rashmi's lap and was sleeping till Tatanagar station came.

So, the second train journey was also very comfortable.

Ravi (Rashmi's sister's Husband) came to recieve us on Tatanagar Railyway Station. He was very delighted to see chiku - but chiku was not amused. This time she behaved like an irritating child. I think this is due to too much noise ion the train of which she is not used to.

We reached Rashmi's home around 11:30.

First Train Visit

Chiku was all set for maiden train journey on 9th March 2009.

We were very nervous as how she will cope up with 14 hour journey. But determined that she will love it.

We start from Nagpur on 9th Morning - by Azad Hind Express - 2029. Left nagpur at 10:20 AM in B1 - AC 3 Tier Coach.

Initial hours were cool - since it was first experience for Chiku - and she loved to analyze everything that was visible to her.

The afternoon journey from Durg to Jharsuguda has been very good since we had some good passengers to talk with. Chiku too played and enjoyed herself with them.

Chiku felt very confortable in the training. In the whole journey i never found her feeling annoyed, alienated, or feeling out of home. She enjoyed as she should at home. The only difference was AC. At home we dont have AC - and she loves AC.

Around 8:30 PM - after being tired of playing all day, Chiku finalled thought of retiring for the day. Had her big share of Milk and then went to sleep.

We reached Kharagpur aroung 2:45 AM on 10th March 2009. Train got delayed by 1 hour - It did not mattered to chiku since she was sleeping. Amit - a student at IIT Kharagpur - basically from Pune, Maharashtra, came to recieve us. Thanks to him for being wake so late, and coming to station to get us.

When the station arrived, and we planned to get down on platform - chiku woke up and started analysing everything she was seeing (platform, lights, people, train, etc).

We took the taxi, and went home where Mom was waiting to see her grand-daughter - CHIKU. As soon as entered home, Maa and chiku started playing.

This is how chiku spent her time in the very first train journey she travelled.

मजिंलें और भी हैं। रस्ते और मिलेंगे
कारवां चलता रहेगा येही ज़िन्दगी है

Moms visit to Nagpur - 3rd Feb to 12th Feb

Maa visited us to see Chiku. (Last time she came was in October - when chiku was just 1 month old)

This time maa has 2 motives
1) Chiku's Mundan: She had long hairs since birth. After 4 months, her hairs started reaching her nose - and with summer starting early in Nagpur, its was neccessary to get her hairs out.
2) Chiku's begining of food intake. She has been on packed-powder Milk since birth - and somehow she started hating this process - so we thought of feeding her some food ( of course in pure liquid state). we had tried earlier using boiled Apple mash - but she did not like it - she loved eating raw apples without teeth!!!!
