 | May 7th 2006 - My parents took me out of town, finally!!! This weekend we went to the world famous San Diego Zoo. We started off early in the morning and it was a two-hour drive from Los Angeles to San Diego. My mother and my grandparents were also there. My mother had the perfect outfit for me. It was a set of clothes that had different animals on it such as elephants, monkeys etc. It was really cute. |
I was pretty good on the car drive. I slept most of the way and started crying a little bit of just before we reached the zoo. At the Zoo, we met my aunt, uncle and my cousins Neha and Anoushka. They were staying in San Diego at my aunt's place. They were really excited to be at the Zoo.
Passport to the World

 | 30th June 2006 - Today my parents applied for my US passport. I get a US citizenship because I was born in this country. Applying for a passport is very easy here. Unlike India,where applicants have to go to the Passport Office, we go to the Post Office and submit the application. The process is very simple. All that is needed is an application form, my birth certificate, 2 passport photos and the application fee. The normal process to get a passport is about 6-8 weeks but you can pay $60 more an get it delivered in 18 days. |
We initially went to the Mar Vista Post Office but the lady was out for her 1-hour lunch, so we went to the Culver City Post Office and submitted the application there. I should have my passport by the 15th of July. I entertained the people at the Post Office by letting out a loud burp. Everyone started laughing at me.

 | 29th June 2006 - Can you believe it, there is a TV channel for babies now? Its called BabyFirst TV. There are tons for TV channels in the US for Sports, Cooking, Travel, Music even a channel called Jewellery Television. All they do it talk about Jewellery all day. |
I like BabyFirstTV. They have programs that apparently help babies and toddlers develop their mental abilities as they grow. A lot of the content is taken from some of the popular DVDs. The shows have pleasant visuals and soft music which I find very catchy. With this new channel, its a fight for the remote between me, my dad who wants to watch the World Cup and my mother who wants to watch the Food Network.

 | 28th June 2006 - My father calls me Das Numbari. I thinks he calls me that because I have a football jersey with the number 10 on it. The number 10 jersey was made famous by the legendary Pele from Brazil. Over the years, wearing the number 10 jersey is a prestige issue for players. Some of the famous players from the past include Diego Maradona from Argentina, Roberto Baggio from Italy and Michel Platini from France. In the 2006 World Cup football touranament, the following players are wearing the number 10 jersey

Trip to Bharat Bazaar Culver City

- Category: June 2006
 | 25th June 2006 - Its Sunday today and was a pretty slow day at home. My father had some office work and so I spent most of the day playing with my mother. In the evening we went to the local Indian grocery store Bharat Bazaar. My parents have been visiting this store ever since they moved to Los Angeles. They like going to this store as they are always greeted with a warm smile. We picked up the weekly groceries and Indian veggies like Bhindi (Okra) etc. Bharat Bazaar also opened up a vegetarian restaurant recently and they serve chaats, samosa etc among other things. I wonder when I will be able to eat all this. Quite bored with this milk now. After Bharat Bazaar, we went to Al Watan restaurant on Inglewood Avenue. My parents love this little restaurant where they serve Pakistani food. Their Chicken and Lamb Biryani is amazing. My parents eat there almost 2-3 times a month and my uncle usually picks up food from there when he visit Los Angeles. The food was smelling very nice in the car. I started dreaming of the day when I could eat this food and I guess I fell asleep in the car. |
