Four signs that Puttachi's vacation has gone on for too long.

1) She's creating a sugar trail around the house, complete with obstacles, to feed and entertain ants.
2) I overheard her talking to SIRI on my phone, asking it in her best imitation of an American accent, "SIRI, will you visit me?"
3) She has created a whole range of furniture and a car (with seat belt) for her tiny thumb-sized doll, out of nothing but flimsy construction paper and sellotape.
4) She lay sprawled on the bed, looking at the sky through the window, and told me, "Amma, sometimes I feel that the whole world is just a huge video game, and a giant is pushing buttons and making us all move, and is laughing at us."

As much has I have enjoyed reading your blog from my Bangalore days (I lived in south Bangalore, before moving to the SF Bay area), especially parenting. If I haven't left many comments, then I blame it on Feedly (Google reader before that) :) But, it was wonderful to know that you have moved to this part of the world. May be we should meet-up. what say?

Akhila, ha ha, I could have written that comment - South Bangalore, SF Bay Area, blaming not commenting on Feedly and Google Reader before that ha ha! Same here, same here. Do email me on the id on this blog.
