2 years old!

Who came from Mumbai:
Shaunak, Shilpa Maushi, Anu Maushi, Preety Maushi, Maushi Aaji, Ba, Bombay Ajobi and Bombay Ajoba. Milind kaka was out of action with a fractured leg and could not come.

B day:
I got up in the morning and got ready.Then Athu dada and Preeti Atya came over. Later, Athu dada and I went in our car to the highway junction to escort the car coming from Mumbai. We got them home.

Bombay ajobi had got a cake from Merwans so we cut that. Then all of them did 'aarti' for me and gave me presents :) My Pune aaji gave me 10 gms of Gold!
I played with Shaunak and Athu dada for some time.

After lunch everyone rested for sometime and then Anu Maushi and Preety Maushi went down to the hall to decorate it for the party.They did a fantastic job as you can see in the pictures. Everyone liked the decorations.
Preety maushi is very good at these things.

Then we all dressed up and went down. Daddy went out and got the cake that we had ordered. Slowly the guests started coming in. There were all my friends from the building and their parents. We cut the cake and then there was dinner for everyone. No games as all my friends are very small and dont know how to play in organized groups yet..neither do I for that matter.

dinner menu:
Sweet corn veg soup, mutter paneer, puris (3 types), veg manchurian, veg fried rice and gajar halwa.

Late at night, we all sat and opened the gifts one by one. I got a lot of lovely presents and I enjoyed it.

daddy writes:
Most of Mihir's friends are from the same age group. They are all very possessive about their belongings at this stage and there was a funny incident which we all enjoyed. Little Shravani bought a nice present for Mihir but refused to hand it over to him.Her mommy eventually coaxed her into handing it over. Later when everyone was engrossed elsewhere, she quietly went to the place where all the presents were kept, searched the present she had got and took it with her(until her mommy found out again, of course) :)

The pictures are here for now. Daddy has very very tied up at office lately and will come back to set this post right asap.

31st Dec 2006:
We got up in the morning and went on a trip to Alandi. It isnt very far from Pune and Bombay ajoba wanted to visit it. So we all went in the Qualis that they had got from mumbai - Ba stayed back home with my pune grandparents.
We visited the temple and came back and had lunch. Then the mumbai gang took off for mumbai immediately after as they wanted to reach mumbai before dark.
