I am back in Bengaluru. I took Saturday early morning Shatabdi. All of us went to pick up Pathu from Stay. She did do a bit of drama once she was back at home. Who wouldn’t? :)

We are in Thrissur today. We are here for 3 to 4 weeks as we do almost every quarter. This time, it’s special as it’s the baby’s first long drive.
