Every time I look closely at Shaan I am overwhelmed with strong emotions of love and fear. I fear that his kind, gentle loving heart will be crushed by the cruelty of the world. He looks so peaceful and yet I am sure his astute mind is pondering deep philosophical truths.

A Day out with Thomas the Tank Engine
Shaan's fascination with "Thomas the Tank Engine" led us on a 2-hour journey to the Strasburg Railroad in Ronks, PA, a trip fueled by his enthusiasm for the beloved train character.
A Day Out with Thomas offers a unique experience for children and fans of Thomas the Tank Engine. This event features a full-sized operating steam locomotive, Thomas the Tank Engine, which takes guests on a 16-minute excursion. There was some disappointment about the duration of the Thomas and Percy rides.
Food and drinks, such as hot dogs, pretzels, and kettle corn, were available during the event, adding to the enjoyment even on a hot day in June. We did have the convenience of ducking into various stores to cool off, making the day pleasant.
Overall, A Day Out with Thomas at the Strasburg Rail Road offered fun and educational experiences.
Nilima's Birthday
In the header image, from left to right, in order of their birth, are Shaan, Tejus, Nandani, and Kiran. Unfortunately, Nandini’s younger sister, Maya, couldn't attend.
Shaan and Tejus, the boys in the picture, share a special bond growing since their babyhood. Shaan is particularly vocal about his friendship with Tejus, often sharing stories and moments about their time together.
Kiran and her cousin Nandani also share a close and affectionate relationship. Bhavna and Nilima, who are sisters, enjoy dressing them in similar outfits, highlighting their familial bond. Despite being just three months older, Nandani looks noticeably taller than Kiran.
