Hi! My name is Abi. I am six and a half. I am going to India! I am going to see my cousin Anirudh. He is just a baby. I'm gonna see Kamini Athai. She's my aunt. I'm gonna see Neville Mahma. He is my uncle. Athai means "aunt" and mahma means "uncle." And I'm going to see Paati and Thatha. They are my grandparents. I have been to India before. My hair was shaved off and I got my ears pierced. I was one year old. I am really excited about the sweets. My favorite is Gulab Jamin. They look like little round balls. It is dough that is fried and then soaked in a sweet juice. I like to eat Idlies. Idlies look like puffed up pancakes. I eat them with sambar. Sambar is like a vegetable soup but it's kind of spicy. Idlies are a dinner food. I love India food! I am vegetarian. That means I don't eat meat because it hurts animals. There are a lot of vegetarians in India.
