Kavya,
Since the time Kathir is born, I drop and pick you up from School. During these two short 10 minute rides, we either sing together or have a dialogue.
Today, on the way back, out of the blue
You : Daddy, is all the money you make is for me?
Me : Yes, Kavya. It is.
You : Really?
Me : Well, for both you and Kathir
You : Ohh. I thought it is all for me?
Me : If you take all the Money, Kathir will not have any and he will be poor.
You : Alright, he can have half of it.
My eldest is not even five years old. But, all my wealth is already spoken for.
Dad
Kavya & Kathir - Loves to play together!
P.S – During these rides, sometimes I get lost in my work thoughts and we ride in silence. I feel guilty after wards for missing the opportunity to have a conversation with you. But you are such a sweet kid that when I am lost in my thoughts, you won’t bother me. You would quietly look outside or think about something on you own. Parenting you is such a pleasure Kavya.

Kavya paapa, today Apr 7th, 2009, we had to take a chest x-ray for you, since you were coughing really bad. Though I was feeling sad that you were sick, I was extremely proud seeing how well you co-operated with the lab person for taking the x-ray, inspite of it being your 1st x-ray.
You did not fuzz or cry (like any normal kid might do), though you were curious seeing those lights from that huge machine. The usual of Kavya 
. The lab person asked you to put your hands on your head and turn by your sides to take a side x-ray of your chest. Even it was difficult for me to understand her accent, but you just simply followed her instructions, my sweetie pie!
I know I am blessed to have such a low maintenance kid.

When I was on the car hearing the Austin’s local radio station (KUT), there was an ad that caught my attention. It said “Cornucopia. We sell 45 different flavors of popcorn!”. 45 different flavors of popcorn? Intrigued, I wanted to get there some time.
On Friday, 20th Feb, I came home and we didn’t have anything to do. The weather was also good. So, I told Malathy that we will go to this place that sells 45 different varieties of popcorn. Cornucopia is in Guadalupe Street, which is also a busy street that has UT Austin. We walked up and down the street, bought 4 different varieties of popcorn at Cornucopia, had dinner at a Thai place in the same street and came home. Sometimes, the spontaneous plans end up being more enjoyable than the well planned ones with lots of expectation.
