Taanvi & our little house - 14th Jan

Today we went out to meet Nitin, Smita and Taanvi. Taanvi is pretty cute and amazingly sharp. Here is how she amazed us. Nitu and I were very eager to checkout the progress at the construction site of our house. Since Nitin, Smita and their Jiju were also interested we decided to go there together. As we were preparing to head out, Taanvi sensed that people were going out somewhere and obviously she wanted to join. In order to dissuade her from going with us, Smita asked Taanvi the following:

"Beta, aapko yahan patang udaani hai ya fir aise hi bore hone jaana hai?" ... Little Taanvi replied "Bore hona hai!" and we were all in fits :) Kids are really getting smart :)

Well we checked out the construction site. As is always the case the unfinished house looks much less interesting and sometimes disappointing than a finished house. Overall the place is coming up well. The houses though are "very" close to each other ... probably in line with how almost everything is close to each other due to space crunch ... the other way to look at this is that this is "by-design" so as to promote closer and deeper ties with neighbors in accordance with our culture :)

We then got back to "Serene Towers" (Nitin & Smita's place), checked out an empty apartment in their complex and then headed back to our hotel.
