Do you want a typhoid vaccine for your kid?

Some data:

- Estimated risk for travellers to India 0.41%
- Estimated effectiveness of the vaccine 60-70%
- Vaccines don’t protect against paratyphoid
- Vaccine is effective only 2 weeks after taking
- Booster shots needed every 2 years

I’m thinking that protecting against mosquitos is a lot more important this time around. Next comes water and food safety.

What do you think? A vaccine is worth it?

Savita Auntie

I have been going to Savita auntie’s house since march ‘05. She took very good care of me. My friends there are Isha, Ishika, Tanvi, Arnav and Srijith. I took a long time to make friends there, well..that’s my nature. Now I really like her and all my friends there. But tomorrow is my last day at Savita auntie’s place. After that I am going to a big school. Mom said I will have new friends and new toys.
Row1: Srijit, me, Isha, Ishika
Row2: Tanvi, Arnav

My grandma recently passed away. She was approximately 94 years old, and my only grand parent alive, when I was born.

My first tooth

Hey! The tooth fairy seems to have blessed me with my first tooth, to make my gummy smile have some teeth. But I'm not ready to show it to the rest of the world just yet. Photography prohibited.

My favorite pose

I like to lift my right leg often and kick anything in sight. Usually my left arm is also stretched and the right arm is on my right knee.

Just finished Week #16

I can lift my head up when I'm sleeping on my tummy .

Made my first trip to a restaurant and a grocery store. Listened to my favorite music - BhimsenJoshi and JagjitSingh. When I see my mom, I can't stop laughing…
