I am now 3 weeks old..

Last week was rather eventful,.. MY DEAR NANA arrived from India to be with us. I was so happy. He bought with him so many gifts for me. So many wonderful clothes, so many pretty sweaters and of course some accessories in gold which I will wear when I get a bit older.
We play together everday as I loved his soft playful voice. He had named me 'Chinni' even before I was born. :-) So as mamma calls me Chinkey, Chinku, Chinki.. Chinni is another name added to the list.. Then we celebrated Ashtami. Nani made Halwa Pudi and Chane and we did puja together.
Then we celebrated Dushera, I put tilak on dada's forehead as per customs that baba dadi beleive in.

When I turned 20 days old Nani insisted on taking me to the Iskcon temple here in Stockholm. So yesterday we went thereand attented the aarti in the evening. The gods looked beautiful indeed and I loved looking at the lights up in the roof..

Mamma, Papa's friends insist on seeing me and mamma is finding a suitable time to invite them. Everyone is so eager to see me and hearing this I feel really important.
Dada pats me on my head and sometimes touches my cheeks because he thinks they are soo soft. ' Toft' he calls them in his langauge. I have begun to recognise Nani's voice as well as she coos and talks to me everyday when she does my massage and bathes me.. She is a pro I must say in massaging newborns. Dada too was massaged and bathed by her when he was born. Mamma is still just a helper by Nani learning everyday and preparing herself to do so once Nani and Nana leave back for India. Every evening I love being in Nani's 'badi godi'..

Papa plays with me every morning before leaving for work, and the first thing as soon as he comes back from work.He is a little dissappointed though as I am soo sleepy sometimes.

Alrite now I am going to get ready as and a little while we will go the Hindu temple here to witness the 'Rawan Dahen'. With that another exiting weekend will come to an end as a new week begins tomorrow
