Gautam is crazy about trains and autos. He knows the distinction between goods trains, local trains and passenger trains. He knows that trains run on rails, and keeps repeating that ad nauseam. He neatly lines his cars or trains as if getting them ready for a race 🙂

Siddharth’s favorite past time was playing Nintendo and during the frequent power cuts, we played Business (an Indian version of Monopoly).

And, then there was this stray cat family, which has made its home in the backyard of my mil’s house. First it was just the daddy cat who came asking for milk. Now, he has a wife and 3 cute kittens. Gautam was crazy after them. They really looked adorable! Here are some pics of the dad and the kittens. Mom cat was missing at these times 🙂

    Thats why they say childhood days are the best ones. do ask the little one to enjoy his trains as much as possible now before the train leaves the station. lol.

    @nitu hahaha. Your bro did a good job of capturing the lightning. Sad to hear that the blockade is affecting your life too. Hope things go back to normal soon.@Tangy 🙂 What other term could I have used? He was so caring about his kittens, always escorting them around and keeping an eye on them.@Agnes Yeah, very adorable.

    @Tangy Happy to have provided you a good laugh :)@Jon Oh yes, they hardly ever did. And, cat eyes are amazing.@Karan All boys are similar. My brother used to do that, break everything in the name of exploring. Sid also broke his share of cars, and Gautam has broken so many cars and autos in order to explore the parts of the vehicles 🙂
