The day after

The great day is past. Mira got a decent though different bday from what one-year-olds get. For one, we sponsored breakfast to the kids at our church's orphanage in Sriperumpudur. Secondly, neither of us took leave to pamper her. Third, we cut 2 blackforest cakes - V had forgotten to order a big fancy cake the previous day, so had to make do with the baker's daily churn of smaller cakes.

The first cake was cut with the maids as guests. My part-time maid had come to present Mira a pair of gold studs with white stones. The cake was distributed to the maid's family and our neighbours. The second cake was cut only after our guests of honour - Sajichayan and family - came at 9 ish.

We all then went to Fisherman's Fare on Casa Major Road for dinner. As the name suggests, seafood is their specialty - so we tried out seafood broth (soup) and seafood pulav and Andhra fish curry. All so-so - wish we had ordered the chicken fare like Sophiechechi and Jeffrin did. Mira liked the soup and rice, though we didnt want to risk feeding her much of it.

She fell asleep on the way back home.
