as promised

as promised, here are the photos.

[some photos] of agastya at 3 months. i presume monica would place loads more on her private gallery when she returns to the UK. i neither have the admin access to her gallery nor the time to bother with that. in the mean time, for all friends and family, i have hosted some photos.

i have some mpeg videos of agastya as well. if anyone wants to see them, [let me know]. i will host them up.

new photos ?

just received some photos of agastya yesterday. i will put them up and include a link in a few days. i will be on training for the next 2 days and you must excuse me for any delay.

i will be going over to indonesia in less than a month and i am very much looking forward to it. i would be there for only 5 days, but that would not matter. i am going over to fetch monica and agastya. this weekend my brother is coming over from the usa with his family. he will stay over for a week in total and i hope the weather stays bright and warm.

last weekend i saw a stage show called insignificance at the cambridge arts theatre. it was brilliant. joe had come over from london and stayed over for a night. spoke with inge [norway], fazal [maldives] and balaji [singapore]. they are all doing well. inge's wedding preparations are on track. got an invite for his stag dooooooo.

good news about yovita. she has an offer from the national university of singapore. in what ? i am to find out those details next weekend when i call her. well, bye for now and do expect the photos to be anchored in a few days.

weight & height

chatted with monica a few times over the last 2 weeks as i had plenty of free time. i took some days off from work and it was generally good and relaxing. i fell sick for a couple of days - just sore throat and cough. i saw a medic straight away and the anti-bacterial tablets + the cough syrup worked like magic.

agastya is doing well. he sleeps well at nights, on an average 5 hours between feeds. that is quite good and i hope he will stick with that pattern when he returns to england. monica mentioned he sleeps less during the day and if at all he does that, it would be for no more than half an hour per nap. he is very chatty and makes a lot of interactive noises. he has had his second set of vaccination shots and everything seems to be ok.

they do not offer meningitis C vaccine in indonesia and i have arranged for that to be given when agastya returns to the UK. agastya weighs 7.2 kgs now and is 62 cms long. that puts him on the 75th to 90th percentile for weight and 60th percentile for height. so, it does appear monica has been feeding and taking care of him properly. my brother, from the usa, is coming over for a visit in the middle of april. i will be off in a month's time to fetch monica and agastya. very much looking forward to that !

i feel terribly bored and my days seem wasted and unproductive. i suddenly feel the need to be surrounded by people.
