Stick and Post it

I saw a lovely blog on Fridge magnets and thought we could start one.

What you need to do: Take a shot of the magnets you possess and list out any fond/ funny anecdotes/ background about them.

I do not have a huge collection but just a few treasured ones:

The auto is from Srilanka, Anush was into autos then. The mask is from Thailand, Navy's first trip abroad was to Pattaya!! The hibiscus is from Spore, the tower and the tree from our Europe trip, the supermarket hamper with the broken wine bottle from France during the same trip .

The pineapple is from Srishti in Chennai, bought during a bloggers' meet, the Fruit train and the wine bottle hamper from Santacruz roadside Mumbai - a rather good copy of the original, the wooden dolls from an exhibition ( ettikopaka), the London bus like bar snap magnet- a gift from a friend .

You will also note that when it comes to refrigerators I am a Samsung buff.

I am looking for the western loo magnet that flushes. I once saw it at a friend''s house. From the US of A she told me.

Thaathu's Fan

Saturday
Went to my father and my uncle's alma mater - MCC- my parents also met for the first time somewhere there....Very romantic campus indeed though the hostels look rather run down now. Anush enjoyed running around the trees! ( the above pic is the only one where she was a little (too) still for me to click)

I was wowed by my Dad's strong sense of direction in a palce he is visiting after about 3 decades.

The college fest - Deerwood - I think it was- gave it more dazzle. When one of the "rock" bands finished their number, Anush began clapping and saying " Sing uncle ! Sing sojaa chanda" her current favoruite lullaby!!

Blew up a lot of money ( my maama's ) at Fab India and got him a silver Ganesha to take back with him.

Realised that Poompuhar is on the same side at VTI on Mount road and I had been mistaking Kairali for Poompuhar all this while, Found that VTI is most economical while Cottage belives is tripling the rates

Got a couple of "fit them in" kind of jigsaws - a rooster and a ship for Anushka

Sunday- Hung out with family and caught up on memories


Bottoms Up- Anush likes to imitate her Thaathu exercising. She tells him" Thaathu- Anushka also wearing jetty ( tamil for undies)- enjoy this. . .
