Summer fun!!

Today the post is all about what Manveer did in his holidays:

First of all the summer projects from School:

bag made from old shorts

manveer sewing his bag ......... first time he ever sew anything!!

brandishing the new bag.....made by him!!

folder to hold all the assignment sheets

preparing the folder......

table mat for school dining hall

all of them together in a single shot

 Trip to Dalhousie and Mcleodgunj

posing near the chamera lake

boating in the chamera lake ... towards the ravi river

mountain views from the sunset point of Naddi ........

Manveer clicked some beautiful pictures of the sunset view at Naddi, but will share them along with some of his other wonderful picks in the later post

loved reading books..... they are so much fun, Mama!!

Glass made of ice......thanda thanda cool cool!!

drinking water in the ice glass......wow.....!!

 i tried it too, felt really cold on the lips but was lots of fun. how was this made..... well that is a mystery between me and Manveer.

Manveer got his new cycle ..... Inferno by Firefox

day one on the new cycle.... in the park..... i am ready to take off, Mama!!

 Visiting his cousins:

at his cousin's farmhouse..... it was so much fun.

 they used to start their day at 8:oo in the morning and wound up at God knows when.......simple, pure fun, mastii time for all..... :)

 Time for friends:

with Nandini, Gauri when they came to stay overnight.....

game time with Krishbir......

manveer had lots of fun with Sidhharth as well..... played fact finding game at his house.

 Fun in general:

swimming.... this time mani learnt how to float and started basic swimming as well..... !!

zorbing was so much fun for him......

this was the first time since Manveer was born when I was not around all the day to play with him, take him out for treats during the day, drop him for his summer classes that he used to join, make him do his school projects ....... in general chilling out. I was really aprehensive about how he would manage himself, won't he feel lonely, without guidance to ensure what was truly right for him........ But it seems all these were my unfounded worries, he managed himself beautifully...... did all his summer project's planning himself, off course he took my help as well, asked his fahter how to do certain things ....... but overall he was so much organised that i was really amazed.

then what was the downside...hhmmm ...... he used to call me up atleast...... say, 20 times during the time I was out...... for what you say?.....well, to keep me posted about what he was up to ...... :)

Seems like these days have made him responsible towards his work as well......

earlier I had to remind him to finish his schoolwork, but nowadays, since his school has reopened, he ensures that all the work is finished before he goes to sleep for the day. Just like yeaterday, he was up till 11:00 pm to finish his schoolwork. (actually he had his guitar lessons yesterday and after the class, I had to go and collect my suits from my boutique ;) so we got home very late....... )

As for me, well I am as usual watching him with awe !!
