Today 27-Aug-23 my son solved the Rubik’s cube

 

What a day! Today Aadit solved the Rubik’s cube… I know he is brilliant but did not know that he could catch up with Shanaya in a week… 

One of the best day today for father son… we played in Grantham park…starting with skate board and the. Football when Jessica and Emily joined… then basket ball … then after lunch with Papa we went to swimming pool… he has recently learnt under water swimming and we both just enjoy playing around in swimming pool… after returning back he gave me this pleasant surprise when he solved the Rubik’s cube… later he went to Pirelli park and was cycling .. I headed to play my TT league matches.. on my return my boy did it again and solved it…. He is not as fluent as Shanaya is in solving and sometimes get atuck and asks for help to me…  but it’s just a matter of days and he will be again with Shanaya

Today 21-Aug-23, my daughter solved the Rubik’s cube

 

Glad to see my daughter solving the Rubin’s cube today completely. She is smart and has the amazing observation skills which makes her picks up things very fast.


Credit goes to my determined son who made me buy him aa Rubik’s cube few months back… I was insisting on a 2x2 as it would easy for his age… but he was adamant that he gets 3x3…

Eventually I felt he made the right choice, cause I learnt to solve thw Rubik’s cube around march and today Shanaya can do it completely…

Aadit is also not far behind. He can solve the first row by now….

Good news -15 Jul 2023

 

Aadit learnt swimming today.. and I am so happy.. he had been using floaties so far. But today he first swam with one floaty and then swam for 8-10 feet without any floaties… he was confident and immediately agreed when I asked him to attempt the complete breadth of the swimming pool and he did it in one go… I was chanting words like “keep moving ur hands and keep moving your legs and don’t stop, keep moving” . He again repeated the same feat before telling me that he wants to try the complete length… and guess what ?he did it!!!!… from end of swimming pool to another in on go without touching legs down and without floaties…also, today had been a tiring day for him.. he got up early today and spent an hour talking with Papa in bed  before going for his football lesson.. then we watched Shanaya getting bronze medal in karate in her local Eastleigh competition. Later we go-kart’s and played football.. he was tired and could have gone to sleep but still we decided to go for swimming at 6:30 in evening..I am proud of this guy… 




Just 2 days before Kalpana shared the good news of my little daughter getting selected in UK national league basket ball… She is a an amazing competitor and gets the best out of her in any competitive environment…. She is growing fast and makes me proud of her

Traveling for short term away from my 4 year old daughter

It’s been and hour that I am weeping after my family dropped me at the pune airport. Never expected such strong emotions from me which will make me weep. I think I did not prepare well before travel and just wanted to take the travel and get done with it. I did take a few weeks to keep Shanaya informed and let it sync that I am traveling. She seemed ok at the airport and was shouting Pappa pappa several times as I was waving her from inside the airport. My wife did educate that kids don’t have much time concept but I planned to let this sync in Shanaya slowly as we take this journey of being away from each other.
For every week I hanged one envelope on the curtain so that Shanaya can open it every Saturday and enjoy the goodies inside it. All envelopes were half closed so that my wife can add a chit after writing a note which I would mail her every week. I think within a week she would understand that the duration of my travel and will comprehend when I am coming
