My Holiday April 2010

Mysore

First we went to Mysore. We halted in Mysore to see my mother’s uncles. We stayed at their place. After a little while my mother and my mother’s uncle left to visit someone. My mother’s aunty, my sister and I stayed back at home. In the house my sister and my mother’s aunt played a game called Rummikub. When they were playing I was doing something on power point on the computer. Afterwards we had dinner.Then I watched little television. After that my father and I slept together. My mother and my sister slept by themselves in another room. The next day my whole family woke up at 05:00a.m. Then at 05:45 a.m we left and reached Puttur at 10:00 am. Puttur is near Mangalore.

Puttur

In Puttur my cousins were there. Three of my cousins came from U.S.A. And three other cousins came from Bangalore. One of my Bangalore cousin's mother has had a new baby, so I now have another cousin! We played many games in Puttur. We played Police and Robbers. We even played a game with a bow and arrow. We took a bow and arrow and aimed it on our car window. After a little while we played video games on the television. In Puttur there is a big ground. On that ground every year in April they set up rides during the temple festival. There were many different rides. We went on three rides. They are:
The ferris wheel, break dance and another one whose name I cannot remember.

Here is a picture of some family members who went together to the ground:




We were staying in our grand uncle's house. They have a dog who is very old so he did not play with us at all. Here is a picture of the dog:



Mangalore

Day 1

In Mangalore I played with my cousins who were from my mother’s side. We played games like Carrom,Uno and I spy. After that we had lunch. For lunch there was pulau, raitha and red rice. After that my mother and father slept. My cousin sister and I played cricket.

Day 2

We all woke up at 7:00 am. I brushed my teeth and had my milk. After that my sister, my father and I washed our car. This is the third time that I am cleaning my car. When we went to Kotekar once before I cleaned it. Here is a picture that show us cleaning the car:


I love to clean our car. It is a lot of fun. My father says that I can clean the car better than our car-cleaner!!! After cleaning the car we had our breakfast. For breakfast there was red-rice and pickle. Then I had my bath. After that my parents and my sister had bath. In the morning I played a lot. After that in the evening we went to visit some more people. Next morning we left to meet someone in Kundapur and then went to Manipal (city not hospital).

Manipal
Day 1
We reached Manipal at 5:30 p.m. We were really tired so we had an early dinner and slept.

Day 2
We all woke up at 7:00 a.m. We quickly had our bath and our breakfast. After that my family and I left to Malpe to take a boat to St. Mary's island! In Malpe we saw many boats waiting to go fishing. We asked a man, "how many days do you go fishing?" The man said that some small boats go for 5 days some go for 10-15 days. After that we went to take a boat to St. Mary's Island. We went and asked what time the boat would leave. They said that the boat would leave only when there were 30 passengers!! At that time only 2 passengers had come!! The boatman told us that the boat would leave around 10:30 a.m. It was only 9:30 a.m!! So we went to the beach nearby. At 10:00 a.m we came back. Only 16 passengers were there. Even at 10.30a.m there were only 16 passengers. So we went home. In the house I read some books till lunch time. After lunch I again read. I finished 3 Junie B. Jones books, and 1 Magic Tree House book. In the evening we went to the beach. On the beach I mostly played in the sand because the sea was very rough. My father bought a kite. Then I wanted to fly it. But suddenly the thread broke off the kite flew away. But we were really lucky because the thread got stuck on some dry shrub! So we got it back but when I was taking it back, it slipped from my hand and flew away again! But then my father caught it. After that my sister and I flew it till it was time to go home. In the house we had bath. After that we had our dinner and slept.

Day 3
My family and I woke up at 8:00 am. We had our breakfast. After that we cleaned the car. After that I had my bath. Then I started to read the Magic Tree House. I read a little and watched television. Then I had my breakfast. I read some books. Then it was lunch time. I ate my food. After that I read a little and played on the computer. We slept early. The next day we woke up and left to Puttur. In Puttur there was a naming ceremony for my baby cousin. After the naming ceremony my 2 Bangalore cousins, their mother and my grand-aunt came in our car to Bangalore. At 05:00 p.m we had a coffee break. We reached Bangalore at 10:00 p.m. We went to our cousins house at 10:45 p.m. In their house we had pizza for dinner. Then we dropped my grand-aunt in their house. Then we came to our house. My family slept immediately. That was "THE END" of my HOLIDAY....

The Great Omani Coastal Route

Route 15 : Muscat-Nizwa The parents, seemingly forever, had been planning a trip to Oman. Why Oman? Well, that’s a question I asked myself too. My dad, in the 90s, spent close to a decade in the UAE but barring a work trip, had never visited Oman. Fast forward to the 21 st   century, countless Oman Air flights from India to Europe later, he found himself stranded in Muscat. A ‘technical difficulty’ they said. He visited the Sultan Qaboos Mosque but didn’t get to see much more – it was only a 24-hour layover. However, the constant propaganda he was subjected to via the in-flight entertainment, and the cabin crew he made conversation with, convinced him that the country has a lot to offer. A friend from the UAE, who spoke highly of Oman, apparently also played a role.     The parents had their mind set on Oman. The stars aligned and clubbing together a bunch of bank holidays in India, they decided on visiting in April. Unfortunately, or fortunately (the jury is still out), ...

Visiting the Kasturinagar (KA-03) RTO - a tumultuous but manageable experience to get a Learner's/ Driver's License without an agent/ driving school

Ask anyone, and I can guarantee that they will have a story (and in most cases, many stories) about their trip, or rather, numerous trips to the RTO for something as simple as getting a Learner's License (LL) or a Driver's License (DL). In this blog, I hope to make your life a tad bit easier by guiding you through the entire process, which may seem easy at first but is full of (overcome able) challenges if you know what you are doing. I turned 18 in January this year, and besides cutting a cake, I worked on my LL application online. I challenged myself to complete the entire LL to DL process by myself and without the help of an agent or a driving school, unlike what the majority do. The lengthy application process and multiple visits to the RTO, impressed upon me why most people decided to pay a little extra to get an agent to do it for them. Still, I was determined not to pay a single rupee more than the official cost. I succeeded.  Do note that this answer is concerning the K...

Beating the winter blues - Morocco

  After having spent just over two months in England, with short trips to America’s east coast on work and Paris for Diwali, I was itching to travel somewhere new – somewhere I hadn’t been before.     I found myself in one of the study rooms at university, unable to focus on my readings. Winter was setting in. The days were getting shorter, London was getting greyer, and the sun had gone into hibernation. An important question was running in my mind – one that would determine how I would overcome the impending winter blues – what will I do during the Christmas break? A typical international student’s response would be simple – book a return ticket to your home country. However, as a seasoned international student, my response had to be different, right? With a not-so-powerful passport in hand, I grappled with my options. Limited by choices of visa-regime friendly choices, I first laid out a bunch of criteria for an anti-winter blues holiday of choice. I wanted three thing...

Living life out of a suitcase

  December 2022 As I sit on my fourteenth flight for the year, with two more scheduled before the curtains are drawn on 2022 (god bless my carbon footprint), laptop open, a glass of wine and a blank word document, I begin to ponder over my journey over the last few months. Penning it down and (at the risk of sounding philosophical) ‘reflecting’ on this journey seems imperative.  --- May 2022   After two wonderful years of ups and downs in Le Havre (thank you, COVID-19!), I said my good-byes, packed my bags and was on the train to Paris. But that was not my final destination – for now at least. After spending two nights at a friend’s, dropping my baggage off at a relative’s, catching the French Open and a round of golf in the middle, and a train to Beauvais (an hour north of Paris), I was on a flight to Barcelona. Checked in to my hostel, met my friend, went for 3 days of the Barcelona Formula 1 Grand Prix together, watched a Redbull 1-2 finish, celebrated with beer, sangr...

Cake Models

My sister taught me how to make cake models. It is very easy. If you want to learn how to make it continue reading my blog. Materials required: 1/4 mug water Powder 2 Bowls cloth clay Kumkum    Newspaper Powder Make the clay any shape you want. (remember that is going to be the shape of your cake). Make it flat at the bottom so that it can stand well. Take the kumkum and powder and mix well. Make sure it is not too thick or not too watery. Spread the mixture on the cake and design the cake however you want. You can experiment by using different things to change the colours.

My New Cycle Horn

I have got a new cycle horn that makes a very loud sound. It scares people on the road and they move. I put it on my cycle because people in my apartment don’t move when cycles come. So I got this idea. People love my horn and everybody touches it. It makes and pom-pom sound. Here is a picture of the horn:
