In conversation with Chittappa

Hello folks,
I haven't posted anything since August. Dad's been busy and we've been traveling. It's a hectic life I tell you!
Anyway, I figured we should catch up and fill you in on all the fun things that happened, since we last met.
Firstly, My Chittappa ( Harish) is engaged to be married. He will be lawfully wedded this January . Yay!!
Secondly, I have spent a lot of time traveling since we last met. First, I was on this pleasure trip to Hong Kong and Singapore. Had a whale of a time on the trip. Not sure mom, dad and Chittappa will say the same 'cos they spent a lot of time running after me ;)
Then, we went on a short trip to Goa and that was great fun as well. I will share pictures and videos from those trips in the next post, but for now enjoy these videos shot in September.

And the next one is in conversation with Ramu thatha or I should say thatha Ramu :)

My pets

They say "A house is not a home without a pet". Very true.
But until I can grow old enought o decide what pet(s) I want and am capable of taking care of it (them), I have a few lifelike pets :)
Apart from the ones you will see in the video there are the ocassional pallis ( lizards) in the garden, and a variety of insects that I call "Poochi ".
I hear there are snakes and bats that visit the vicinity of our apartment complex, but I haven't seen any of them yet. For now, enjoy the video.

So, my cousin Vidur ( who I fondly call Papa) and my athai (who I fondly call Archana), were here for the weekend and we had a whale of a time!
Check this out if you don't believe me :)

Adventures in the wild

Hello all,
I think we should declare August 2009 "The R month". This is my third post this month and if we are lucky, there might be one more soon!
This post is dedicated to the wonderful trip we had to the beautiful and pristine Bandipur national park. This is one of the project Tiger reserves and apparently there are over 90 Tigers in this park.
We went with Kalpagam thathi, Mahesh Periappa, Smitha Perima, Megha, Deepa athai ( in whose honour we organized this trip - kind of a bachelorette party before she got married and flew to Mumbai!) Thatha, Thathi, Harish chittappa, Amma, appa and yours truly. It was an awesome trip, starting from spotting some wildlife to driving in the rain and ending with dad breaking his leg ( playing Table Tennis of all things!!).
Anyway, enjoy some pictures and a video compilation from this trip.
Also, uploaded are some pictures of my first Rakhi ever.Megha came home and presented me with my first Rakhi :)
And then there is one with me trying to fly using a broom like Harry Potter!! Yay!!!
See you soon :)
Luv

Video : Adventures @ Bandipur National Park

Hello again,

Here is a short video of a fun day I spent at my dad's office!

Enjoy. I will soon be back with some pictures and videos of my adventures in the wild :)

Till then...

Ciao :)

My vocabulary

Greetings earthlings!!
It's been a while. We've been busy with weddings and other functions in the family. Hence the delay in connecting with you again.
This video was shot in early June (2 months back) with a small sample of my ever growing vocabulary. I have added many new words to my list since :)I am beginning to realise that there are probably a trillion words still out there.
I can now call Rishabh (me), Harish (chitappa), Karthik(dad), Kanna, Abitha ( my maternal grandmom), Aruna(cousin) etc.. by name. I am yet to master mom's name though.
That's a tough one to crack. Imagine even trying to say something as difficult as DEEPA?!!!!All I can manage is pa pa pa :)Enjoy!
I'll be back shortly with another enjoyable video!!

New Action Hero

Hi Again,
I figured I'd give you a bonus this month.
Here's another short video with me playing a Kung Fu action hero. The range of emotions I display ( even if I say so myself) is amazing. I play excited, happy, angry , serious etc... with equal ease.
The weapon I am holding, is an ultra light weight wooden weapon designed specially for me . I hope you enjoy the Oscar worthy performance! :)
Loads of luv
Rishabh
PS: The weapon I'm holding? - Actually sneaked it out of the kitchen. Grandma must've been furious when she found out :)

My favourite sport

Hello all,
It's been over a month since my last post. Here's a nice new post that talks about my latest and greatest fascination. Watch the video and you'll find out what I am talking about.
Also check out some new pictures of yours truly! The one with me and my shadow is another of Harish chittappa's masterpieces :)

Catch you later

Loads of luv

Rishabh

Long time no see!

Hello Earthlings,

Long time no see. Quite a bit has happened since we last met!

First I fell and hurt myself , I have stitches over my right eye and then I got better, and then I got myself a new look. As you probably have figured out by now, I am a man of few words. So, let's take a look at some new pictures!!
