My First Beach Experience

On the occasion of Sivaram uncle's marriage we had been to Ongole. We were six: me, my parents, Rajasekhar uncle, Sandhya aunty and Aryan. We had attended his marriage and by evenining we were back to the hotel in Ongole. The next morning we started to Kothapatnam beach which was roughly 20kms from Ongole.



This was my first visit to a beach. At the first site I got confused and stared at water for a long time. My mind was full of questions: What is this? So much of water spread all around? From where the water has come? I was a bit scared and tightly held my mom and dad. My facial expressions were reflecting my feelings.





The beach was clean with brown coloured sand. There were couple of families having fun with water. We kept our belongings aside and got ready to get into the water. We all started walking towards the water. Initially I was hesitant to get into the water but after sometime I got down and started walking. The tides were touching our feet and slowly I started getting excited. While me and mom were having fun with water, sandhya aunty and Aryan were also having similar experiece.

My dad and Rajasekhar uncle were busy with camera. After clicking few snaps they also joined us and we all enjoyed together. We spent about 2 hours in beach. I liked the place so much that I was reluctant to leave the place. Dad forcefully took me out and we returned back to hotel. Here is a video showing how I enjoyed :)



Apart from beach, I had another first experience: Watched movie in a threatre. On the way back to hotel, we decided to go for a movie. We had lunch and watched matinee show of "Maryada Ramanna". Me and Aryan fell asleep even before we reached theatre. Everyone expected that Aryan might not let us watch movie. To everyone's surprise, Aryan stayed calm throughout the movie and I started crying when the first song started and crowd started making lot of noice. Somehow dad managed first half with the help of Gems. By intermission all the Gems packets were completed and I couldn't stay in the hall. In later half of the movie I stayed out and mom and dad accompanied me in shifts.

Walky-Talky Nishita - First Quarter of My Second Year

Well, blame it on my lazy parents for updating this blog after a long break. But it’s not their fault completely. Mom says I became so much more cute and playful that they would rather spend time indulging in some serious playtime with me:) And this was because of my newly found independence that came when I started taking steps on my own.




I was walking well by 14th month, after which there was no stopping. I was constantly on the move and all my family would wonder - aren't her legs tired?? Will she ever sit?? I would need no cuddling, no pampering, no hugs/kisses. A directionless walking was all that I loved doing. And the walking would turn into running if it was grass or sand under my feet . Look at me in action at Mom/Dad's office party.








Besides walking, there was something else developing fast - speech. I had started uttering single meaningful words. Daddy was excited as this Daddy was the first name/reference I was using the most. 'Mummy' came bit late, but Mom's wait was finally over. Akka (for aunt), nanamma (paternal grandmom), babai (uncle), ammamma (maternal grandmom), thatha (grandfather)...I was able to utter all of these!!



And many more..Paai (for milk), appy (apple), bag, dai (dog), lala (water), aafish (office), kaai (any fruit/veggi piece), babbaa (any nut), ayipoyindi (finised), paata (song), jiaa (I need to pass;) )..the list is just growing!!
