Gobble gobble brrrrrr

Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Minneapolis--or Mpls ("mupples") for the uninitiated--over the Thanksgiving holiday. We ate turkey with Dadaji, Dadima, Chachaji, Chachiji, Uma Didi, and Ani. I was able to simultaneously expel mucus and sweet peas all over Mommy and Daddy by simply sneezing.

Ani-tastic!

I went to Minneapolis to visit my new little sis Anika a couple of weeks ago. I took along Mommy and Daddy so that they wouldn't get lonely. We had a lot of fun visiting Ani (as well as Chachaji, Chachiji, Uma didi and Dadima).

Here I am using my incredible healing abilities:

Uma didi and I are involved in a profound discussion regarding the upcoming election and the potential positive impact of a simultaneous democratic executive and legislative branch:

Ani bhan and I are only 4 months apart in age (almost to the day). We're going to be great friends:

Roar!

Happy Halloween!

I have more family than anyone I know

Every day, I discover that I have more family. Saru Mausi and Bijoy Mausa came to see me after their visit to Notre Dame. We went out for mussels and pomme frite. We also had a great time at the Carmel Art Fair--Daddy and I walked all over the place. Mommy and I looked at art while Daddy looked at food.

Grab Daddy's nose!

So long Kaplana auntie, hello Anika

We recently said "see ya later" as Kalpana auntie went off to Las Vegas to continue her rock 'n roll lifestyle. Now we are going to have to add (too much) hot sauce (without tasting) by ourselves.

However, there is good news. We welcomed little sis Anika to the world. I can't wait to meet her and share the vast wealth of knowledge that I've accumulated over the past 4 months--and I'm sure I'll pick up a thing or two from Uma didi regarding care and handling of the parents.

Go Blue! Trip to the zoo!

Mommy and Daddy recently took me to Lucas Oil Stadium, where we wore our proud Hoosier colors. We got to run around on the turf where Bob Sanders and Payton Manning play. Go Blue!

I also got to go to the zoo with Mommy and Kalpana Auntie. Mommy kept saying Daddy was there too, but all I saw were a bunch of monkeys.

I.S.B. coast-to-coast

Here are some pictures from my travels to the East Coast and West Coast. I saw Dadaji, Dadima, Nanaji, Nanima, Mamu, Mamiji, and Sanaa Didi. I did my part to act as an ambasador to help bridge the hip-hop rivalry.

"Hollywood" Ishu

Mommy and Daddy made this excellent PR video for Ishu Productions Ltd. I think it perfectly captures my quiet, reflective side.

Blog deliquency

Many of you have noticed that I've not written a post for quite a while. The responsible party will not be named--let's call him "Daddy" to protect his identity. Rest assured, the issue has been identified and dealt with. I have been told the posts will now be written in a timely manner. To make up for the lack of posts for the past two months, we will soon be posting images and video of my exploits during the first two-and-a-half months of my life.

I've been growing at an alarming rate and am starting to grow into all of the clothes that my family has lovingly and generously given to me. Daddy and Mommy and still shocked that I have more clothes than they do.

I'm happy to report that I've become quite the traveler lately. I have now visited my Dadaji and Dadiji in Delaware as well as my Nanaji and Naniji in California. I also met Sanaa Didi who lives with my Mamu and Mami near San Francisco. I'm looking forward to seeing Uma Didi, Chacha and Chachi in Minneapolis. I've heard there's going to be a new sister for me there.

New person, new blog

Welcome to The Planet. This blog is being created to chronicle my life (at least the significant events) for my friends and family. My name's Ishaan and I was born about 3 weeks ago. My Mommy (Nina) and Daddy (Sidharth) are on retainer to do my PR work and update my blog. I've been told updated pictures will be posted shortly.
