yaaru hitavaru
This is a nice song by Purandara Daasa: Aaru hitavaru ninage? This questions what is the real benefit for you? Appa and Amma are optimistic that Abhinav at his own time some day would understand and appreciate this song. Appa´s friend Upendra had explained this song to Appa, though Amma needed no explanation 🙂

They had this wonderful boy called Adrian who was almost the same age as Abhinav. Adrian’s lovely smile just melted Appa, and though its […]
Pillow mountain
This is a real fun activity, with lots of permutations and combinations like different kinds of mountains, dismantling them, climbing them, etc. Theyre almost like giant building blocks 😉 But NOT without adult supervision. Appa was stupid enough to leave him unattended for a short while, and Amma had to save him from a potential […]
