My Trip to India - Part 3

Returning to Salem, Tiruppur, and the flight back to Texas

Hi guys, it’s been a few days since I returned from our trip. Okay, so I must tell you what happened the day after we returned. So in the early morning me, appa, and thatha went to see the opening of a new school. It is way different than a Texas school opening. They gave us Indian food like idli, curry, dosa, and chutney. My Appa gave a speech in the ceremony for donating money to the school. Here is a video of my Appa giving the speech.

Here is the chairman of the school. And this chairman is one of my older thatha’s. In this picture, I am donating my money to the chairman of the school. 

Also, we met two others thathas in Tiruppur, Muthu thatha & Thangavel thatha.

Today appa, Deva, and Surya will get their hair shaved at the temple. They will be bald. Here are appa, Deva, and Surya after they shaved their hair. 

We had an Annadhanam ( free food ). I donated $20 for Annadhanam, which serves food for 50 people. Here is a picture saying the Annadhanam money will be donated by Nila in Tamil.  

And after that, Amma and Deva went to Salem for a week and joined us for the Ooty. During that one week, my Appa went to Chennai for two days. And the next day all of us which was Atha, Thatha, Appa, Surya, and I went to a function. Here is us at the lunch tables.   And after that one of my Peripas taught us how to play a game with the rotating mint. Here is a video of my Peripa teaching Surya how to play the game.

Okay, guys, we arrived in Ooty just now. I will write later today. Okay, Ooty is built on top of a mountain. We saw one of our Perima and Peripa there. When we arrived me, Surya, and Deva started playing with Perimas and Peripas dogs. They had three dogs. Their names were Max, Lia, and Happy. Here is me and Max outside in Ooty.

The next day we went out to have fun. And we ate pizza from Pizza Hut for lunch. Here's me Surya and Deva eating pizza.

Today before we left we all went to a historical St. Stephen's Church & a Hindu temple and honored one god. Here is a picture of the church & gold statue of that god.

It was a piece of cake to climb the mountain, but on the way down the mountain Surya threw up two times and everybody’s head got a headache.

And we were not going back to Tiruppur, we were going to Salem. But we took a lunch break in Atha and Thathas house which is in Tirupur. So let me explain why we are going to Salem. We are going to Salem because of Appachas (Grandpa) prayer meeting. Oh guys we just arrived at Salem. I will write to you tomorrow after the prayer meeting. Met all my cousins in Salem.

Alright, guys the prayer meeting just finished. We sang songs. They were Christian songs. We sang and prayed for Appacha in the prayer. Goodnight. Today. Before we left Salme we went to see Appachas grave. Here is Appachas grave.

My dad, and, Surya and I are only leaving for Tirupur. Amma and Deva did not come because Deva had to potty train and Amma had to help Deva. And we are leaving in a week. Can you believe it has been five weeks already? Today we went to Peripa and Perimas' house to say goodbye.

Hey guys today, me Surya, and, Appa are leaving for Tiruppur today. We said bye to Atha and Thatha. Here is a picture of us.

We just now arrived at Salem. Amma and Sneha amayie went shopping. They returned after we arrived. After staying there for two days we all left for Bangalore. After one day in Bangalore, my family and my Ammachi went to the airport for Texas. Do you guys remember the flight to India? The flight this time is just the reverse. Annie chithi and Santhosh mama and Joshna and Liana all came to the airport to say bye to us. Here is us all in the airport on a T2 terminal.

On the flight, I got to sit next to Ammachi. Here is us on the flight.

We finally arrived in Texas. I was so happy to be back home. Here is a picture of me in our home.

I had so much fun in India. Thank you for reading my blog. 

The End!
