My First Post

Our family is planning to move to Mysore, India in January 2012. My dad, has a Fulbright to go to India. Me and my sister are planning to go to school there. Right now my mom and I are studying Kannada. We are learning how to write and say different letters and words. I think many people will speak Kannada in Mysore.
This is not my first time to India. The first time I went to India I was 15 months old. The second time I went to India I was 4. I went to preschool for 3 months. The third time I went to India I was 4 turning 5. We went to India to meet my thangi. She was born in Pune. The fourth time I went to India I went for a wedding for my dad's cousin. This will be my fifth time going to India and the longest visit.
I looking forward to going to school in India. I think it will be different and fun. I am going to start off at a school that I went to before when I was 4. That school has expanded from preschool to eighth grade now. My thangi and I will go to the same school. I am also excited to move away from the cold. We live in Michigan so in January it will be very cold. We have our summer clothes in a box ready to take to India with us. I am not looking forward to getting dust in my eyes from the road.

  3. We miss you already and you are not even gone yet! We'll have to plan a duet recital with Alden and Shalini when she gets back! So nice to hear she is playing violin. I'm going to find that picture I have of the two of them at Domino Farms!
