Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Puerto Rico: April 2014. Having forgotten any sort of diary to bring on vacation, I wrote some things on scraps of paper, which I've become tired of saving. So, transcribing here. April 21 - 5:20 AM. April 23 - 5:40 AM. As we started hiking back, R. proclaimed, "That was 82,000. We hadn't warned them of the possibility of swimming in the falls, which wound up being an unforgettable surprise. They pretended to be seals on seal rock off the coast of ...

Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Friday, June 21, 2013. Fathers' Night, 2013. I suppose, once all of our children are a bit older, they will be able to better express what Daddy means to them, and we'll have more to remember Fathers' Days by. This year, I was inspired by my niece and nephew to have Rohan fill out a Fathers' Day questionnaire. The results:. My dad's name is : Mike". My dad eats : Spice". My dad drinks : Milk and Water". I like it when my dad: Gives us a piggy back ride.". Fathers Night, 2013.

Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Saturday, February 18, 2012. This morning, I took Uma and Rohan out - Uma in the carrier, Rohan on his balance bike (sorry, "Motocross Dirt Bike". On the way back, he was getting hungry and tired, and stopped at one point. "Where's that gravel track? Referring to a stretch of landscaping down the street). Oi, dur-e," (over there, far back) I said. We couldn't even see it. "Amader pechhone." (behind us.). Rohan looked satisfied with this knowledge of having come so far.

Mike and Chandreyee's Space: Inostrancevia!
http://mikeandchandreyee.blogspot.com/2014/05/words.html
Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Saturday, May 31, 2014. Five-and-a-half-year-old Rohan has got his dad and paternal grand-dad's focus and concentration. But what, other than an overdose of melodrama, did he inherit from me? It took five years to figure it out: it's a love of words. It could have been a one-off, one-shark phenomenon. but Squalicorax met a similar fate. Most people call this beast "Crow shark," but after a few trials, Rohan reverted to Squalicorax. And my favorite: Inostrancevia.

Mike and Chandreyee's Space: Merry Christmas, Mike.

Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Saturday, January 5, 2013. Merry Christmas, Mike. It's the beginning of December 2012, and my present to you is some memories and some wishes, that usually only come out in the form of tears (when I'm sleep- or sunshine-deprived), drool (when I'm really tired and fall asleep on your pillow), and snarfs (when you make ridiculous jokes while I'm drinking water or brushing my teeth.) But I'm a writer, so I should be able to "do" words, right? Superhero of unknown powers). Which ...

Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. The NBA playoffs are over, but you'd never know it here in Arlington, Massachusetts. This morning, as I listened to Rohan's unstoppable monologue, I noticed that just about every other word he said was "Basket." Idly, I started marking every instance of "Basket". Can you guess how many times he said "Basket" in 15 minutes? The answer is D. I see the basket! I go to the park, basket.". Net / Pass / Slam.DUNK! Chain basket / Basketball / Hoop / Throw.

Mike and Chandreyee's Space. Monday, July 11, 2011. Uma's story is like the story of the Velveteen Rabbit. There was first Abstract-baby. Being our second baby, we knew some of her potential cutenesses and qualities, and so Abstract-baby was loved in quite a concrete way even while she was abstract. The stuffed Velveteen Rabbit was loved just as much, and then it transcended its stuffed life in a fire. Parenting a very REAL and VERY energetic 2-year-old (Rohan). Uma became Real, like the rabbit, in secon...
