My little artist in the making!

There is so much action in Adi's world. Latest excitement is about painting! Clicked him a couple of weeks back while he was busy dabbing colour...on himself as well! :)

The look in the second picture is in response to my complains:
1. Why are you out of your room?
2. Why are you colouring your hand?



So I have decided that I shall click every such annoying moments and post them thereafter. Must be fun to watch after a lapse in time!

Christmas @ Adi's home

I am the 'Drummer Boy'!

Adi is highly intrigued by percussions. 'Dhonak' (Dholak) as he calls it; is his companion all through the day till he sleeps. His early obsession with the instrument began with frequent visits to ISCKON where there are kiratn's being sung throughout the day amidst the 'khol' (mridangam) and khonjoni (trinklets). Adi thinks every percussion instrument can be played like the Mridang. His continuous effort is in replicating the style and sound of the Mridang. Here are some instruments that make his favorite pass time at home.
