Photos of Pihu and her travel scene

I am yet to figure out a way to post my photos. For the record I work for a consumer level photo management and sharing software product called 'Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition' and am still a dud on how to configure google picasa "Hello" to upload the photos to Google site and then put one such link here so that you can see the snaps of my little princess. Holy Cow !! and I guess before the people who give me hefty pay-check on every 30st/31th find this out I better find that out.

Pihu would turn 5 months on Nov 10 and by this time she has already travelled four times, out of station trips.

Travel 1: Went to a farm house post Doon, 250 odd km drive, ok roads, really bad accomodation.
When: 14-15 Aug 2005. Mode: Scorpio (indian SUV)

the farm house was really huge, when we saw the main gate we were sure that it can't be the one we are heading to. a big gate which opens to a long driveway, with flower beds and tress and what no. But the acco was real depressing. She managed pretty well.

Travel2: Subathu. A small sleepy town near Dharampur, Kalka, Himachal. Its a gorkha regiment training centre, army cantonement. nice and clean. 300 odd km
When: 19-21 Aug, 2005. Mode: Scorpio (now you know what this is)

it was a family outing. acco was beyond comparision. been there before so knew. a bunglow which overlooks the hills and valley(ies). simple amazing. yet to figure out how to post photos :) and work for a digital imaging consumer product. i know who can find out what and what i need to do.

Travel3: Amritsar. Golden Temple. Indo-Pak border town. 500+ km (long drive)
When: 15-16 Oct 2005. i might be wrong. Mode: Scorp

Primarily a golden temple visit. realized that 2 days are too short when you are on wheels for 18-20 hrs. Thats right. I drove in excess of 1000 Kms during that weekend. Missed Wagah, reached late. Missed Jalianwalan, some rally, running short on time. Golden Temple is simply breathless. Must go. Would visit again.

Trave4: Udaipur. Venice of India. 700 odd Km
When: 28 oct night - 2nd nov morning 2005 . Mode: Train (Mewar express, i think)

Wonderul lesire trip. small city. would try to write one on this trip separately.

ooofff.... less then 5 months and already 4 trips old. good going Pihu. I know apart from her the major effort credit goes to my beautiful wife - dhall -. She simply makes it so simple in the end that you dont realize that you are with a young baby. If you are a mother of a young baby then you will realize what it means to be like her. ;)

now next where. hmmmm

Pihu Arrives !!

I wrote this on 21 June--------------------------
Its been a little over 10 days now. If you think blogs are really instant then I guess I am really really slow.

I write this today i.e. 2 Nov
I guess I know whats the future is going to be. I was very true when i wrote above about 4.5 months back. I logged in again today to tell myself that I better write something on whats been happening around. So I am posting this particular one and would write a new one. Incase you dont know whats over 10 days on 21st June, its the arrival of my daughter, Pihu, on mother planet as an independent human being. For last 9 months (prior to 10 June) she was in the womb :), and you tell me that my sense of humor is no more cutting. its bleeding instead.
