The Don’s Diary – 22 August Entry

So, Most of you know/remember that I turned 3, Last Week. This is the First Birthday I celebrated in this strange land where people call me bittu…food smells everywhere on the street…There is a bike, another car and a man within six inches of my nose, when the window is rolled down in my car…there are a gazillion creatures on the road – dad tells me they are doggies too…a land where news channels say “Pasivaadini champina roddu Kukka – Break tarvaatha choodandi” about 30 times a day… Where people strike and stage bandhs for a frikkin separate state which I hear would be an utter waste but don’t care to hoots for a fellow countryman struggling to curb corruption … where traffic policemen are at every junction and guess what, those are the junctions with the worst traffic … where some guy has a net worth of 1 lakh bones and is greedy for more, but no one says a thing … where the Doctor’s office is unclean and the doctors give me more injections than the words they use to talk to me…I miss Banfield and the cute doc there…I miss the sunday football games(Well I actually miss the snack), I miss the booze parties in the own large backyard, I miss people calling me with MY name – Vito (Not Weetoo or Bittu), I miss everything that is big in Texas…I miss Texas, Dallas, My home, my Vet… Dad says, its okay ra vito gaadu, Not sure what is okay…missing all that or…… 😦 ….

I got some good presents this time, I got a bunch of XL bones ( Oh wait don’t get excited, XL in India is Small in Texas), I got a nice Red Jersey that Momma bought me, I got a delicious pineapple cake….and I got something that is totally Legen….Wait for it…dary……Chaacha created a FB account for me!!! How cool…But WTH man…Dad takes both his i-pad and laptop with him (God knows where he goes every morning) and momma take her i-pad, Locks her MAC (Yeah can you imagine locks her computer, never tells me the passwords) ….God Bless Chaachu for the nice thought, I will keep updating when I can, and do follow me….One thing I totally missed on my Birthday was the crowd…My last two birthdays were an absolute blast, but this one was more laid back with just Mom and Dad…I guess thats cool at least Dad was on time..

India is cool over all…Met my Grandparents for the first time – both maternal and paternal…the ice cream’s great, the Ghee is awesome, more yummy than the stupid packets in Texas, oh wait!!! Did I mention Mangoes? Oh man! The awesomest mangoes in my life, and Haleem Baby! I thot dad made the best haleem on the planet, but the hyderabadi haleem is something else, its pure bliss….For these things, staying back in hyderabad – heck yeah!…The food here is better than the one I ate back there, so I don’t crave for the meat anymore…I am working on my Six Pack, finally I get some time to focus on my Bod – remember I am an eligible bachelor now…if only my Dad would understand what I mean…Hey btw, can someone tell my dad….Beta Javaan Hua, Soncho Zara ….

A’right my beloved Texans … Just wanted to say Howdy!
