I won cup stacking competition at my new school...

My new school, Cottage Street Elementary School celebrated Cougar Day today and we had Cup Stacking competition. I competed with 2nd and 3rd graders and won the finals to become Cup Stacking Champion!.

It was a 6-cup stacking competition. We had to turn 6 cup stack into a pyramid of 3,2,1 and then back to single 6 stack. I did all that in 4.25 seconds.

I got "Cup Stacking Champion" certificate and Free Friday popcorn for the rest of the year. That was so cool.

My brother Rithvik also competed with 4th and 5th graders and won the final. I learned the technique from him the night before. Rithvik is really good at it. Thanks Rithvik for teaching me the technique.

I won coloring context at my school...

I won coloring contest at my School out of 400 contestants. My class screamed when they heard my name on the speaker. Some of my friends even told me that they knew I was going to win the contest. When I told my Dad, he gave me a BIG HUG. I got $10 to choose books from the book fair at my School. I bought Japanese erasers and the following two books (one for me and one for my brother Rithvik) and with that money.

Now I will have to practice and learn fast 'How to draw Bakugan'. I already did one and I will post it soon.

New Year with a new Art Trophy…

I am back this year with another Art trophy. Yesterday we went to the Sankranti and Republic Day event organized by BigHelp in Boston area. I participated in Art contest and won 1st prize for my Sankranti drawing. I did one on the same subject last year in TAGB Sankranti celebrations which won me 1st prize. This time I made few changes and did the same but little different.

Last time it was based on what I learned from my Dad describing me how they used to celebrate Sankranti in their village Damaramadugu when he was a kid of my age. This time I added a Family, and a Happy home in a village celebrating the festival of joy, colors and harvesting.

When I saw all other kids’ works, I wasn’t sure if I would win 1st place this time. There were several good ones. But, my efforts delighted me again and won the 1st prize. I took the trophy on the stage along with other winners. I was telling my Dad after coming home that my hands were sweating when I was standing on the stage. I was really excited and started feeling the Joy of Winning.


Thanks to BigHelp organization for giving kids an opportunity to show their talents.

I also did a Bhangra Dance with my brother Rithvikand friends Nilay, Sridhar and Dhiren at this event. I love Hadippa song and will post my video next time.

Michael Jackson's THIS IS IT

Today I went to Michael Jackson's movie This is it with Rithvik and my dad. I really liked it and it was so nice watching him on the big screen.

I am planning to do his picture in next few days and will post it once I have it done.

My First Grade - last day at the Robinson School...

Today is my last day at the school for this year. We have had lot of Fun this year at the school. I love my school and my teacher Ms. DiSangro. I am excited to spend my holidays with my brother and family.

Here are some memories captured:

My Thank You card to my teacher. I drew my teacher teaching Math and myself sitting in the classroom. :)

The best part of today, I won Bentley Bear in the raffle. Bentley Bear was on rotation going home once a night every week with one of Ms.DiSangro's class students. I am happy that I won him in the raffle. He will stay with us now forever. My brother Rithvik already gave him a warm welcome at home and introduced her to our other toys. I am going to have fun with Bentley! :)

Here, I am with my Bentley at the School:
