Mitra's First

"Baa illi" - these are the first for Mitra. He has been using this to call everyone - mom,pulti,laika and patta. The last week , we were at Mysore for few days - Grand Pa 'N' Ma will soon report jaw pain. They have been laughing at his antics non stop for 2 days !

Thithhra thee avaiaa!

Pulti enjoyed the most. Running through the coffee plants,trying to catch up with birds and cats. The home , like tobu says "thithhra thee".








Yet another family get together!

Mysore Family get-together

Mysore Home get together was lovely. It really has been several years since our home saw so many people/kids . The previous evening was special,our neighbours helping with so many stuff around our home. I was simply dumb struck with so many little kids running around. Gappu Annaiah's several grand children made up the stock. Mitra , seemed to be happy to see a big open hall, he simply kept walking around the area tirelessly.
Thavare Mitra and Self.

My visit to Katakeri was even special. Home constructed upto the lintel. Roofing should happen in about a months time. This time of the year Kodagu is lovely , green , fresh water from the valley and lots of acitivty. I could not resist but take the 2 snaps.

The path towards the field is slippery, I had to go down to the 'thod' to put my feet :). Fresh water from the valley is the water source for all the homes at Katakeri. I am more than keen to go down the valley to really see the water source, perhaps in my next visit.

I am hoping mitra will start to enjoy all this in about a years time :) .

Back after a Long time

It has been a long time. I have been active at Fort Mysore and Laughing Waters.

1. Chimmanda family have started re construction of 'Balya Mane' at Katakeri- Madikeri. Currently it is work in progress and expected to complete by December.

2. Last month our family got together to wish Gowri on her last working day. [ she retired after putting in 35 years of Service]. We also proposed to create a trust in the Name of MuthuMedappa[ my GrandMa and Pa] , where all siblings and in-laws are members, who contribute some funds to the trust. We intend to use the funds for annual get together ,'meedi' etc.

3. I love Rain - reminds me of Madikeri , Mitra accompanies me when it rains , Pulti, Patta and Laika love the rain too. We enjoy the greenery . :)
