First rains, candle light and the LG Tromm

Bangalore experienced heavy rain showers yesterday in the evening. I was lucky not to get caught on my way back from office. Pranav witnessed rain and lightening for the first time. As usual, BESCOM snapped the power supply. It was interesting to see how captivated Pranav was by watching the candle flame. He is also an avid washing machine watcher; loves it when the LG Tromm tumbles away making that humming sound.

One of our favorite pastimes (is that the right usage as opposed to timepass) is to watch the crowd across the street at Arafa or the customers walking into Laundrette. I'm experiencing sights and sounds from Pranav's perspective and find his reactions to things very intriguing. He is getting familiar with the ubiquitous light switches; still doesn't understand how it works. Today, he smiled at the drawing room ceiling fan when I switched it on and then kept staring at it for a while.

Lastly, Stella, our house maid sure does know how to make him guffaw. I have been pestering her to speak to Pranav in Tamil.
