And the boy had a good time. Laughed the loudest. He did go a bit overboard on the junk front. Asked for a Fanta/Coke and I didn't refuse it this time. I loved Tenacious D's "Baby One More Time" version when compared to the original.
My experiences on being a father and beyond…The boy is growing up so fast, I wanted a medium to note down the memorable moments.

Back from the trip
The boy had a fabulous time and he didn't miss home. Lack of sleep was evident as they used to stay up and chat. 6 Tigers, 4 Leopards etc. were his sights. The moment I heard 6 Tigers, I was super jealous. He has come back with a cough and cold.

School Trip
So yesterday we dropped the boy for his Pench school trip. 5 am flight to Nagpur and a bus from there. Some 40 children from his Grade. This is the first time he has been away from us (sleepover in neighbor's apartment does not count :)) It was a bit surreal and mixed emotions. Watching him walk away with a backpack and trolley suitcase to board his flight. The scene may happen again and who knows he may go away for higher studies once school is done. I think it was a good emotional drill :) He will be back on Saturday night. The house feels quiet. There is a some relief that I have a kind of routine back, but yeah I miss him.

Roots ICL
The boy participated in the Roots Inter Center League (ICL) Football matches, and it has been a good learning experience. His team finished 6th out of 8 teams. He has been slowly easing off the Minecraft youtube videos. The audio is extremely annoying with the constant "tak tak" sound and the squealing voices.

Cooking
And the boy has learnt to make Maggi noodles on his own. We have to light the stove for him though.
