Yo-Yo Ma-ma!

I learnt that babies can recognise music they've heard in the womb! It can even calm them - hey anything's worth a try! So, me, our driver and the baby are now listening to: Amy Winehouse, Air and Yo-Yo Ma playing Bach cello solos. I thought Vemesh would be getting sick of Yo-Yo Ma but he leaves it running when I'm not in the car, so perhaps not...yet!

It rained last night, which is an indication of the warmer weather conditions in B'lore: it got too hot and tripped the switch on nature's way to regulate the temperature: it rained. What's lovely in B'lore is that it often rains late evening or at night: so practical! Better for sleeping and the traffic.

I've bought a rocking chair. It's the first major (in size and money) baby purchase. It sits in the lounge, waiting. Everything else to follow. The list of stuff you need and you could buy is enormous. Just the variety of prams (poussettes) is dizzying. I think we've spent more time looking at prams on the internet than I did choosing my old Ford Ka! (photo by notorious d.a.v. on flickr)
