My Holiday April 2010

Mysore

First we went to Mysore. We halted in Mysore to see my mother’s uncles. We stayed at their place. After a little while my mother and my mother’s uncle left to visit someone. My mother’s aunty, my sister and I stayed back at home. In the house my sister and my mother’s aunt played a game called Rummikub. When they were playing I was doing something on power point on the computer. Afterwards we had dinner.Then I watched little television. After that my father and I slept together. My mother and my sister slept by themselves in another room. The next day my whole family woke up at 05:00a.m. Then at 05:45 a.m we left and reached Puttur at 10:00 am. Puttur is near Mangalore.

Puttur

In Puttur my cousins were there. Three of my cousins came from U.S.A. And three other cousins came from Bangalore. One of my Bangalore cousin's mother has had a new baby, so I now have another cousin! We played many games in Puttur. We played Police and Robbers. We even played a game with a bow and arrow. We took a bow and arrow and aimed it on our car window. After a little while we played video games on the television. In Puttur there is a big ground. On that ground every year in April they set up rides during the temple festival. There were many different rides. We went on three rides. They are:
The ferris wheel, break dance and another one whose name I cannot remember.

Here is a picture of some family members who went together to the ground:




We were staying in our grand uncle's house. They have a dog who is very old so he did not play with us at all. Here is a picture of the dog:



Mangalore

Day 1

In Mangalore I played with my cousins who were from my mother’s side. We played games like Carrom,Uno and I spy. After that we had lunch. For lunch there was pulau, raitha and red rice. After that my mother and father slept. My cousin sister and I played cricket.

Day 2

We all woke up at 7:00 am. I brushed my teeth and had my milk. After that my sister, my father and I washed our car. This is the third time that I am cleaning my car. When we went to Kotekar once before I cleaned it. Here is a picture that show us cleaning the car:


I love to clean our car. It is a lot of fun. My father says that I can clean the car better than our car-cleaner!!! After cleaning the car we had our breakfast. For breakfast there was red-rice and pickle. Then I had my bath. After that my parents and my sister had bath. In the morning I played a lot. After that in the evening we went to visit some more people. Next morning we left to meet someone in Kundapur and then went to Manipal (city not hospital).

Manipal
Day 1
We reached Manipal at 5:30 p.m. We were really tired so we had an early dinner and slept.

Day 2
We all woke up at 7:00 a.m. We quickly had our bath and our breakfast. After that my family and I left to Malpe to take a boat to St. Mary's island! In Malpe we saw many boats waiting to go fishing. We asked a man, "how many days do you go fishing?" The man said that some small boats go for 5 days some go for 10-15 days. After that we went to take a boat to St. Mary's Island. We went and asked what time the boat would leave. They said that the boat would leave only when there were 30 passengers!! At that time only 2 passengers had come!! The boatman told us that the boat would leave around 10:30 a.m. It was only 9:30 a.m!! So we went to the beach nearby. At 10:00 a.m we came back. Only 16 passengers were there. Even at 10.30a.m there were only 16 passengers. So we went home. In the house I read some books till lunch time. After lunch I again read. I finished 3 Junie B. Jones books, and 1 Magic Tree House book. In the evening we went to the beach. On the beach I mostly played in the sand because the sea was very rough. My father bought a kite. Then I wanted to fly it. But suddenly the thread broke off the kite flew away. But we were really lucky because the thread got stuck on some dry shrub! So we got it back but when I was taking it back, it slipped from my hand and flew away again! But then my father caught it. After that my sister and I flew it till it was time to go home. In the house we had bath. After that we had our dinner and slept.

Day 3
My family and I woke up at 8:00 am. We had our breakfast. After that we cleaned the car. After that I had my bath. Then I started to read the Magic Tree House. I read a little and watched television. Then I had my breakfast. I read some books. Then it was lunch time. I ate my food. After that I read a little and played on the computer. We slept early. The next day we woke up and left to Puttur. In Puttur there was a naming ceremony for my baby cousin. After the naming ceremony my 2 Bangalore cousins, their mother and my grand-aunt came in our car to Bangalore. At 05:00 p.m we had a coffee break. We reached Bangalore at 10:00 p.m. We went to our cousins house at 10:45 p.m. In their house we had pizza for dinner. Then we dropped my grand-aunt in their house. Then we came to our house. My family slept immediately. That was "THE END" of my HOLIDAY....

  1. You seem to have had a lot of fun during this holiday. I am very sure that no one in your family would have been able to tell me, this clearly, their day-to-day activities of the past few days.
    BTW, what is the name of the dog in Puttur. I know the name of the breed - Dalmation, but I would like to know his name too.

Visiting the Kasturinagar (KA-03) RTO - a tumultuous but manageable experience to get a Learner's/ Driver's License without an agent/ driving school

Ask anyone, and I can guarantee that they will have a story (and in most cases, many stories) about their trip, or rather, numerous trips to the RTO for something as simple as getting a Learner's License (LL) or a Driver's License (DL). In this blog, I hope to make your life a tad bit easier by guiding you through the entire process, which may seem easy at first but is full of (overcome able) challenges if you know what you are doing. I turned 18 in January this year, and besides cutting a cake, I worked on my LL application online. I challenged myself to complete the entire LL to DL process by myself and without the help of an agent or a driving school, unlike what the majority do. The lengthy application process and multiple visits to the RTO, impressed upon me why most people decided to pay a little extra to get an agent to do it for them. Still, I was determined not to pay a single rupee more than the official cost. I succeeded.  Do note that this answer is concerning the K

Kicking off a 'political career' in an idea-based, grassroots level political party

Despite having been following politics for the longest time, and now studying it full time, I never joined a political party. When people used to ask me "who do you support?", my answer was standard, "no one". Luckily for me, ever since turning 18 and being eligible to vote, there hasn't been an election in which I'd be forced to cast my vote and tell people that I have made a definitive choice about a particular political party. At a time when politics has become ever so polarising and dirty, I couldn't be happier to associate myself with the BNP. It was in February 2020 that I was introduced to the Bengaluru NavaNiramana Party. I found their vision, leadership and ideas incredibly refreshing. Though I was aware of their launch/ kickoff meeting that took place in Freedom Park in early 2020, due to a friend's TEDx talk taking place simultaneously, I could not attend. Then, between Board Exams and the lockdown that took us all by surprise, I forgot ab

2011 Ooty Golf Championship Open

We had gone to Mangalore to visit my mother's relatives. We stayed there for 2 days. Then we left to Ooty for my Ooty Tournament. Here is what we did: Day 1 It was a long drive from Mangalore to Ooty, it is 360 Kms. We left at 5:30 a.m from Mangalore and reached our homestay at 4:00 p.m. I explored the house and then started to read my book. Here are a few pictures we had taken on the way to Ooty:  A tree with no leaves  The Beautiful Sky  After a while we went to a super market to buy a few things. Then we went to a leather shop. Over there I bought a leather belt. Then we  went to Dominos Pizza to have dinner. After that we headed back to our homestay. Day 2 (Practise Round and much more) I woke up at 7:15 a.m. I got ready fast and then had my breakfast. After that my sister, father and I left to the golf course for the practise round. When we reached there we first registered for the tournament and then started to play. My father came with my sister and me o

Living life out of a suitcase

  December 2022 As I sit on my fourteenth flight for the year, with two more scheduled before the curtains are drawn on 2022 (god bless my carbon footprint), laptop open, a glass of wine and a blank word document, I begin to ponder over my journey over the last few months. Penning it down and (at the risk of sounding philosophical) ‘reflecting’ on this journey seems imperative.  --- May 2022   After two wonderful years of ups and downs in Le Havre (thank you, COVID-19!), I said my good-byes, packed my bags and was on the train to Paris. But that was not my final destination – for now at least. After spending two nights at a friend’s, dropping my baggage off at a relative’s, catching the French Open and a round of golf in the middle, and a train to Beauvais (an hour north of Paris), I was on a flight to Barcelona. Checked in to my hostel, met my friend, went for 3 days of the Barcelona Formula 1 Grand Prix together, watched a Redbull 1-2 finish, celebrated with beer, sangria and tapas,

Ather Energy - Electric Scooters that compete with Aprilias and Vespas

Ather Energy, a Bengaluru based start up created by former IITians finally unveiled their electric scooters - Ather 340 and the Ather 450. Priced slightly on the higher side at INR 1.09 L and 1.24L (on road - Bengaluru) including the FAME subsidy and all taxes, the scooters are exciting and a must try for scooter buyers who do not mind shelling out a little more money than a mid-range scooter would cost and do not mind using it primarily for short distance commutes. Ather 450 Their showroom is located on 100ft Road in Indiranagar. You can visit them at any time and their staff is extremely accomadating and will help you with any queries that you may have. If there is not too much of a crowd, they will allow you to take a test ride too. Ather opened their showroom today (8th, June, 2018). I visited them and was mighty pleased with what they were doing. In an interesting conversation with Mr. Swapnil Jain , the humble and down to earth Co-Founder and CTO, I learnt a lot abo

Decentralized Social Network - Sphere

The world has been witnessing paradigm shifts in certain ways of executing day to day activities over the past few decades. Taxis are now being hailed with a smartphone, without even communicating over voice with the driver. Food is being ordered online and delivered by delivery boys who rely on a digital map to navigate to the place of delivery. CDs and cassettes have been replaced by computers and phones. Film cameras have been replaced by DSLRs. Gone are the days when cheques were sent via post and deposited into the bank a few days (or even weeks) later. IMPS, NEFT and other methods of transferring money have become popular. The Digital Revolution has truly changed the way we do many things. While the first decade and a half of the 21st Century dealt with merely digitizing the world, in recent years "Decentralization" has become an idea that many people are embracing and promoting. The Block Chain Technology that has gone hand in glove with many aspects of Decentralizati
