Fabulous India Trip - August 2011 - Part 6

Day 24 - The End of Trip

On Tuesday, all of us woke up early to get ready to see Sunidhi's school. Kaustubh's dad, Raju mama dropped Sunidhi and Kaustubh at their school. After we said bye to them, he brought us back. We then got ready to go to the planetarium and science museum. Kaustubh's grandma (Bhanu ammamma), ammamma, Pranav and I went in an auto to the museum. In the museum, there were cool games on science. There was one game where you press a button and put a ball in the tube. The ball starts flying because of the air that comes out of the tube. There is also this other game where you climb up the ladder and drop a ball off a ramp and the ball goes down in several loops without falling. There is also a set of 3 mirrors and you have to put your nose on the edge of one specific mirror and move your arms up and down like a bird and on the other mirrors it looks like you are flying. There are more such cool things to see and learn. We drank maaza and ate samosas. We then got tickets for the planetarium. In there, we saw a show on the moon, the earth, planets and stars. There was a lot of details and explanation about them. Then we went to the Birla Mandir too. It is a nice temple. We went to the top where we could see the whole city of Hyderabad. Then we came home and waited for Sunidhi to come home. We played in Kaustubh's house and after dinner we went to Sunidhi's house. We did something called "sand art" where there were a few stickers on a picture of an owl and we had to pour colored sand on the sticky part where we took the stickers off. Once it was complete, it looked very colorful. Then we slept.

On Wednesday, we played in Kaustubh's house until Sunidhi came home. In the evening, after Sunidhi came, we went to my mom's school playground. We all played there for some time. There was a gigantic slide which I loved. We ate dinner at Kaustubh's house and went to Sunidhi's house for a sleepover.

On Thursday, after lunch, daddy came and we took a train to Akash's house. Akash gave us candies. We took an auto to Pavan mama's parents' house. We thought of going to an exhibition but then it started raining. Daddy ordered pizza with panneer on it. We ate and slept over there.

On Friday, we went to Saranya's house. We went out to a restaurant called Hyderabad house and ate some good food. There were this flat skinny chapathis which were very good. When Saranya and Aishwarya akka came, we watched my dance program video. Then we ate spring rolls and soup for dinner. It was very yummy. We slept over there and the next day we went on a bus back to Kaustubh's house.

On Saturday, we were planning to go to Eat street. But daddy took us to another thathagaru's house. We ate pooris. We came back to Kaustubh's house.

On Sunday, we got a call from daddy saying that there was a big hurricane in Boston. So, we postponed our trip which was supposed to be on Monday to Wednesday. That day thathagaru came from PPalli. Sunidhi came over and we took 2 autos to go to Eat street. We rode in a train that goes round and round. We went on a carousal and some roller coasters. We saw bull fighting. After that, we got on a boat to go to Buddha statue. While we were on that island, thathagaru was getting popcorn for us and it started raining heavily. We rushed back to the boat which would take us to Eat street. We ate Raj kachori, pani puri, french fries, pizza, cotton candy and icecream with chocolate syrup. Our tummies were full. Sasmith mama came to pick us up in his car. There was not enough space, so Sunidhi sat in the trunk of the car. That was fun. We slept at Sunidhi's house.

On Monday, Sunidhi took a day off from school to go to the IMax theatre. We all went with ammamma and thathagaru. We played video games and then we went to NTR gardens. We walked along the trails and played in the park.
We came back home after that.

On Tuesday, we left for Abhilash's house in an auto. We were very sad to leave Kaustubh, Sunidhi, Sumedha and other cousins. We got there and ate dinner and slept.

On Wednesday, we left to the airport to take our flight back to Boston. When we got there, we came to know that we did not have confirmed seats. So, we had to reschedule our flight to the next day. We went back to Abhilash house. Daddy's grandma got sick and had to go to the hospital.

Thursday was Ganesh Chathurthi. Abhilash's daddy, Pranav and I went to the shop to buy colored Vinayaka statue, fruits, veggies and leaves for decoration. We came back and did the pooja. Later in the afternoon, we packed our suitcases to leave and went to the airport. That was our last day in India. We took the flight to Boston and reached home on Friday.

We miss all our cousins there. We had lots of fun during this trip to India. We would like to go back and play with our cousins again.
