Since we're going to the states in a couple of weeks and will be gone about 5 months, we needed to take a trip to M-town before we left :) We took our favorite express train over there - which was great! Aashini has ridden on a train once before -but she slept though it - she actually got to enjoy it this time :) haha!
First stop was Jaya & Mayank's house.
Aashini had fun getting to play with them and at their house :) It was fun getting to see them :)
After that we went to a few other people's houses for a few minutes and then we to the Kumar's house. Aashini had a lot of fun there too :) Mona didi let her play with her bangles and she thought that was so cool!
Shakshi started playing the Sitar - so seh performed for us :)
For our ride home, we weren't able to go on our favorite Express train, so we rode on the Mail train. It's a sleeper train (it goes a long distance). We only rode on it for 2 hours, so not bad :) This train is fun but somehow we ended up in the 3 tier car - which means that the beds are stacked 3 high (except in the aisle - as seen in the pic below)... so you can't sit up in the bed unless the other people that are in your tier decide they want to sit up too and fold up the beds to make a seat... luckily we go to sit :) This train is funny too because we always see rats when we ride it - I don't know why, but I think that's so funny!
That's it :) It was a great trip and a lot of fun!Here's a video... most of you won't be at all interested in it... so don't feel like you have to watch it :) In January a bunch of us that were youth interns at FBC Tally are getting together for a reunion... so I made a video... it's short - so if you're interested, check it out :)

aren't youth friends the best?
Is Shakshi any good on the sitar? I love that first picture of Aashini. Does she ever cry??
