Fabulous India Trip - August 2011 - Part 1

Day 1 - Sunday
Today, at 6AM, we landed in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. We took a taxi from the airport to my dad's uncle's place. I saw my cousin Abhilash there. I also saw my dad's grandparents. For lunch, we went to a restaurant called Tabla with my cousin. Tabla means an instrument which is like a drum. The sad part was I did not eat as I fell asleep. Afterwards, we went to buy a saree for my bharathanatyam dance dress. It was a pattu saree which we had to give for stitching the next day. I picked dry orange color with red border. Then we went home and took rest.

Day 2 - Monday
Today we went shopping for dresses for my mom and myself. We also went to the dance dress tailor for the measurements, so he can get that ready. We ate a late lunch at a Chinese fast food restaurant. Then we took an auto to go to our cousin's place. An auto is a motor vehicle with 3 wheels and open on the sides with no doors. It cannot carry much weight. Around 5 people can sit in this auto. I met several cousins there including Spoorthi akka, Kausthubh who is 6, Sunidhi who is 8 and Sumedha who is 2. Pranav slept on his way there. He woke up after some time and played a lot with Kausthubh with all his toy cars. Like Pranav, Kausthubh too loves cars. He has a big collection of several different types of small toy cars. We all went to a very nice restaurant called 1947. The food there was awesome. It rained heavily that day. After dinner, Sunidhi's dad dropped us at Abhilash's house.
