We arrived late last night due to monsoon weather in Mangalore. It was Ajay's first plane ride and boy was it a rough one! We had turbulence and a very rough landing! Our plane had to circle three times before we could land and then we drove to Nitte Village, approximately 1 hour from the airport. It is the home where Ajja was born and raised. It's a large and beautiful home located out in the country. Vishali Auntie and Nemiraj Uncle currently live here.
Today was a rough day for Dhruv. He was so excited to meet the one month old, all white baby cow on the farm. He also wanted to milk the mommy cow. When he saw it walking by the house he went out and was able to feed it. She ate bananas and mangos and loved them! Dhruv was so happy to feed her. Then when mommy went to get her camera and daddy went to get the video camera, Dhruv walked outside with his Ajja and he got a little too close to the cow. The cow got scared and charged his stomach. Dhruv was thrown up in the air and landed on the steps leading into the barn. He was scared, but tough, he walked away with only a horn print on his stomach.
Then, Ajja yelled at the cow and threatened the cow with bodily harm. Holy Cow!

Then, we went shopping in Mangalore, and Dhruv had another episode. He fell down the escalator and escaped with minor cuts. The security guard rushed to his aid and quickly turned it off. What a day, poor Dhruv!
Ajay continues to be a pleasure and Dhruv quite the big brother anticipating his every need. We are all doing well and bonding as a family. It's really great! Looking forward to returning home next week.
Aunt Susan - Just to let you know it is monsoon weather here! No one looks good no matter how good the pictures look. At least her eyes are open!
Love All

Poor Dhruv, what a rough day! We really wish that we could have been there with, but the way you are describing everything makes it AllllllllllllMOST as if we are (not). Thanks for all the updates and we can't wait until we see you when you come home. I hope you like ham. That is what I am planning for when you come home. Love, X0 Dad
Oh my, my poor grandson! He really had a bad day. Well, he can't say it wasn't an adventure! Give him a kiss and a hug for me. It is great that you got to visit the town where Ajay was born. Also, I was glad to hear that you received an album of his baby pictures. Knowing you (Maureen) I know that he will have tons of pictures to add to those. Your family is so beautiful. God is good! Love, Mom
Hello all,
Yikes, what a day you had, so glad that nothing serious occured, because it sounds like it could have. Surely a memorable day. Yes, nice to visit Dharamaraj's home, I know when your mother-in-law first visited there there was no phone and to iron she put a cast iron one in the fire, no phone, and no fridge if I remember correctly? You are lucky to have modern ammenities now, like the internet!!
On a good note, first day of summer vacation here, and lovely weather, no monsoon here, so come home soon.
Oh, Maureen you are too kind, your mother-in-law can't take a good picture to save her life.
Have a safe day.
Mr. Shetty. Congratulations on the new family member. Have a good summer.
Bryan R.
