August 31st -- Good Old Phone Book

My communication channels, the bare minimum basic model phones which I use for an eternity per my acquaintances ;)..

I used to have a small phone book with all the numbers and addresses also in case I had to post some letters, yeah I used snail mail too a while ago.. the advent of cell phones and the address books there saw to it that I discarded it but since I absolutely refuse to get a new phone until the old one just cannot be heard (not seen also fine but not heard, no use) and most of the times with the no display phone I am kind of cutoff from my basic needs at times without a cell phone handy, so my task for the day was to collect the numbers from both the barely working cells and enter them in the good old trusted phone book.. yay!!!

Poorthigaa jeernamai enduku paniki raakundaa poyaaka kooda vaatine vaade mobile phonelatoti, andulo vacchee raani displayla toti.. edo avatalodi gontu vinapadite chaalu mana pani gadichipote chaalu ante mindset toti unde naaku, tirigi pustakamlo numberlaki maaripovam enta haayigaa undo.. ee maayadaari machinelakante mana cheti raata ento melu.. kotti vetalu unte undu gaaka, vetakagaane dorukutay kada, charge unna lekapoina, display unna lekapoyinaa kooda... heeehaa.. aina nenu kotta phone ippude konanugaa :)).

August 30 - Little Hands At Work

working on chapati dough.. by the way she makes them better than what I did initially, world maps you see :)

When it rains outside, we hunt for activities to keep us out of the way of rain... we are busy bodies you see... so one fine day, we decide to check out the real dough and make something useful. 

Before someone reports child labor, let me reassure we were just having fun :))).. 

Bujji bujji chetulatoti pindi pisiki chapati chestunte choose naaku kadupu nindipoyindoch... kakapote kinda vesi paina vesi paami malli kindesi tinablegaaa maatram assalu ledu..

The above pic is something I really love and consider one of few good captures... though the memories associated with it are very heartbreaking, I love the memory of the little ones running around my daughter, the color they brought to our lives in those few days of existence.
