Desi holi 2009 in Louisiana

We visited Metairie where desi holi was organized. Everyone was busy with the activities they were interested in. young ones and kids were busy in getting themselves and others colored. Some were flying kites and others were busy with their usual chit chat. Kids were busy in their own world.

Anushka's birthday

First snow…

This is Rishab’s first snow. He screams with happiness (or because of cold ??) when he comes out in cold. His gloves were also new for him. He was watching his fingers again and again. He must be wondering about what happened to his fingers. I had seen first snow in my life at my 30th age, Rishab hasn’t even completed 30 months.

Although snow is very common in northern part of North America, it doesnt snow in some parts of southern areas like Louisiana. It was snowing in Louisiana after nearly 20 years (One of the hotel staffer told me that he saw the snow last time when he was 9 years old). it was about 2 inches of snow. It was new for localities too. I saw most of my colleagues with cameras to capture that once a decade memory.

Happy baby in Covington, Luisiana

Rishab gets everyone’s attention wherever he goes. Many people call him “Happy baby”. Many kids stare him silently while Rishab sends out his screams of happiness that attracts everyone around.

 

Often i use to take Rishab to lobby where he enjoyed exploring new things around him. Everyone thinks he is a girl because of his ear rings and pink dress that he wears. Ear ring because most hindu’s have it when they are kids and pink dress, we aren’t really picky yet about the colors. Going forward Both these will go off.

Travel to USA – His first international travel

This was Rishab’s first longest distance travel.
Rishab slept well during the flight and and was more relaxed and fresh than we were.

Although we were fully prepared with everything for Rishab, he didn’t cry or trouble any one, slept off happily in the bassinet that we had booked for him.

Sukhvinder Singh met rishab in airport

Rishab met Sukhvinder singh, a legendary hindi singer. We had seen him on a televison show “Voice of India” on Star plus just the previous night. He appears in numerous video albums and is a famous playback singer for hindi and other language movies.

Sukhvinder singh with rishab

He was very nice to us and took rishab in his arms. After staring at his sunglasses rishab started crying loudly (Trust me he hardly ever cries without good reason). Probly rishab was thinking, whos this wearing sunglasses even when sun inst around. Sukhvinder offered apologies for making rishab cry We felt good to meet him and moved on to board our flight.
We along with Rishab were on our way to Chennai to get US visa.
