2012 was a year of big change for our family. We moved! We bought a new home in San Ramon. It was very hard to say goodbye to the only home I had known and all my friends there. But by the end of the year I was very happy in our new place!

For my ninth birthday, early in the year, we went to a Laser tag place in Newark. We had a fun time.

In school, I finished third grade with Mrs. Munro in Forest Park.
I joined Coyote Creek Elementary school in fall. I have two class teachers Mrs. Sansone and Mrs. Dowling. Both are very nice. I made some very good friends at Coyote Creek like Emily, Safa, Lizette, Sonya, Jessica, and Danielle. We had many fun playdates. After school I went to Kids' Country which is just like the Y but with better food. I joined the school band, chorus, and drama club. In band I learned to play the Clarinet. I also joined a Destination Imagination team in school.
My entries got picked in the Literature and Arts category for Reflections at school. My Literature entry even won at the School district level and I got to go to Martinez to attend the Contra Costa county award ceremony.

In summer I went to Camp Galileo where I had a fun time building many cool things like a Golden Gate bridge model, bow and arrow, Victorian house model, urn, etc. Rest of the summer was spent in India. It was nice seeing my extended family again. We did some small trips just by ourselves too, to Kochi and Munnar.

I did many Bollywood dance performances before moving to San Ramon. The move also meant finding a new piano teacher. Ms. Nora is not as good as Ms. Sylvia but I continue my music education. I joined American Swim Academy in Dublin to continue my stroke training. We went on couple skiing trips with Isha and Rohan.
