my Newton moment
pAdukA - yen ball mela pottA vizhardhu? (Why does the ball come down when I throw it up?)
ammA gets excited about pAdukA's thoughtful question and gives a simple explanation for gravity.
A few days later, when pAdukA is playing and throwing her ball up..
ammA - pAdukA, yen ball kizha vardhu? (Why does the ball come down?)
pAdukA keeps saying "appaDithaan", and tries to convince ammA that it works like this and there is nothing much to it. ammA keeps pushing to see if she remembers any explanation that she got earlier.
pAdukA gets really frustrated and says "melaye irundhA onnAla ball-a edukka mudiyAdhu illaya? adhunAlla dhaan kizha vardhu" (if the ball stays up you cannot get it thats why it comes down)
"ammA, it's fun to be goofy than a genius :)"
[ammA (thinking) "wow! Do I have a Newton at home?"]

Meet Madhura Shri Rangarajan
As a seasoned blogger, it is my responsibility to introduce a new blogger in the family - my sister, Madhura Shri Rangarajan.
Here is her first post:

BIG sister :) yay....
kutti pAppa...! oops... madhurA ....
kutti pAppa was her name when she was in ammA's tummy and now that she is with us, we call her madhurA. (have to get this into my head:)
Here is how I think she came out
6:00 a.m. - ammA jolts me when she leaves bed in a hurry. There is too much noise and I had to be up
6:15 a.m. - ammA and appA leave me with pAtti and say that pAppA (baby) will come out of ammA's tummy soon if I am a good girl and I can see her in the afternoon. I cry for a brief while and then settle down with pAtti. I do not bug her to put cartoons or take me out.
7:30 a.m. - appA called and I let him know that I finished eating breakfast. appA says "good job" and also pAppA will come out soon.
Around 9:45 a.m. - I spoke to ammA and appA after taking a bath. I did not splash water all over which I love doing.
About 11:15 a.m. - Spoke to appA but ammA did not speak over phone (wonder why she was angry with me?)
I finished eating my lunch without much fuss and was playing memory game, numbers puzzle and cycled around the apartment with pAtti
For some time I did not get a call from appA or ammA but I kept up my good behavior in the hope that pAppA will come out soon. I resisted all urges to draw on the couch, or to cut various pieces of paper and sprinkle them all over.
Around 1:20 p.m. - appA called happily to let me and pAtti know that mAdhurA is here
Around 7:00 p.m. - I met madhurA, my little doll sister. My toy.. :)
All my hard work paid off. What a relief !
Since I was a good girl all day long on June 20th, 2011, madhurA came out soon. I don't know about labor and delivery but I think it is totally over rated than the pain of being a good girl for one full day! Just imagine what I went through to have madhurA with us :)
Anyway, I love my new role as doting and extremely curious BIG sis.
P.S. - I let out some pressure by scribbling all over our dining chair the next day. ahh..back to normal life :)
