Looks like Shruthi, fellow Blogbhartian, belongs to a family that believes: a family that blogs together…. Well, they blog on different sites but they do seem to share a common zest for life- of turning little things into wonderful stories. While Anil Kumar JL, Shruthi’s uncle, admits it was his niece who was instrumental in turning him into an ‘avid but irregular’ blogger (in a post celebrating his 100th posting)…

Soon after this, my friend and colleague Usha sent me a link to her blog. I read it with great interest and started a blog of my own soon. But the conditions were not conducive to becoming a regular blogger (or should I say a poster?)

Then came Shruthi into the picture. (Well, she being my dear niece, she has been in the picture for years. What I mean is – she came into the blogging picture). I opened a new blog account in Blogger and I was off. (Some people say that I have always been off [my rocker]. Here, I mean that I was off as a regular blogger.)

..Shruthi seems to be motivated by her increasingly interesting ten month old daughter, Puttachi:

Before I start, I will describe to you The Exciroutine - what she does when she is excited (which is very often). She draws herself up to her full height, takes a deep breath, her eyes open wide, her mouth twists in a near grimace. Her arms fly up to her shoulder height, and she flaps them about like wings. Sometimes, it is like beating invisible drums. Simultaneously, her palms screw-unscrew-screew-unscrew an invisible light bulb at lightning speed. Sometimes, the action is that of locking-unlocking an invisible lock with an invisible key.
