First Birthday

Mom's comments: Ritwik's first birthday was a quiet affair. We decided against having a public party - instead, we wanted to do something special with him. We took him to the San Francisco zoo since he had started to show interest in birds and animals. It turned out that he was scared of most of the animals except the donkey - he wanted to touch it and kept on laughing at it. In the evening, we had a quiet cake-cutting.
