Some pictures from the air when we flew in from Singapore to Mumbai
Mumbai as we land….
The first glimpse of the overcast Mumbai skyline
I could not resist this blue sky….somewhere above the Bay of Bengal
Boats dotting the coast off Singapore
A gorgeous morning as we took off from Singapore…
December is here and we’re all set to welcome 2017 in just a couple of weeks now!
In a couple of hours all the months of preparation will finally come to fruition as BB undergoes his sacred thread ceremony and becomes ‘twice born’. We’ve all been so busy the past week that this will be a very short update.
S, along with his mum, aunt, sister and nephew came to Mumbai earlier in the week. His family is staying at the function venue since his aunt can’t walk much. My aunts and grandmother came yesterday from other parts of India to help us celebrate. More about the function later….
Happy December folks!
Some time back I took BB & GG to the Singapore National Museum as they have been studying Singapore’s history for their History lessons in school. These below are some pictures I took there….
An old telephone from the 1920s
A clothes washing basin from the time of the Japanese Occupation of Singapore
An art installation at the lobby of the museum made up of pots and pans
This update comes from Mumbai! I’ve been here for a couple of days and have been shopping a storm for the poonal. As of today, we’re done with the shopping and also have given the sarees to have the falls done and the blouses have been given to the tailor to be stitched.
The past few days have been incredibly busy too, what with packing for the trip and making sure we don’t forget anything and then the last few days in India with shopping.
S, along with his mum, aunt and sister are coming next week. My grandma and two aunts are also coming the day before the function and I am really looking forward to meeting them.
Ok, gotta go now…have a good week everyone!
Some old maps and prints from the National Museum Singapore
An old map – Singapore is marked with the red dot towards the bottom to the left
A print of the natives of Singapore, around the time Raffles arrived
Possibly a fort at the time the British East India company bought the island from the Sultan of Johor
