Cheap macro lens
These photos were shot using 50mm f/1.8 normal lens attached to the camera with this $15 reverse mount adapter. Much cheaper option compared to a macro lens that costs hundreds of dollars. Love the shallow depth of focus.

Farewell, Aaji

On Tuesday, my mother-in-law passed away peacefully. Her children and siblings were by her side to bid farewell. She was a loving mother and grandmother and will be truly missed by all of us. She lived a full, happy life and was very proud of the achievements of her daughter and son. She had a passion for cricket and she was a master of Maharashtrian cuisine. It is very fitting that she was watching a Indian Premier League match on TV and eating modaks that she made herself, when she suffered sub-arachnoid hemorrhage that took her life.
I hope that we have absorbed some of her wisdom and cooking skills. May she rest in peace.

Swimming goggles
A few months ago, when Ashwini started going to swimming class, there was another 5 year girl, Olivia, in that group. She had more swimming experience than Ashwini and we used to admire how she swam like a fish. Now, Ashwini is at that stage. She has come a long way and has become a strong swimmer. It feels so good to see her use all different strokes and swim so well. I highly recommend her teacher, Meg, for your toddler/preschooler. Here is information about Miss Meg’s class.
Adit watches Ashwini swim and wants to join the swimming class as well. Here is our conversation from this afternoon as we watched Ashwini swim.
Adit: When I start swimming class, you’ll have to buy me swimming goggles and swimming cap.
Me: You don’t need a cap, Adit. You have short hair and you can swim without a cap.
Adit: OK. How about goggles?
Me: Oh, yeah. We’ll get goggles for you so, the water doesn’t go in your eyes.
Adit: You’ll have to get goggles for my mouth too.
Me: Goggles for your mouth???
Adit: Yes, like the scuba diver, so water doesn’t go in my mouth.

Man on the moon
Chat in the car this morning.
Adit: Where is the man on the moon?
Me: There is no moon in the sky, so we can’t see that man.
Adit: Where is the moon?
Me: Don’t you remember that moon goes to bed in daytime and the Sun goes to bed in nighttime?
Adit: Yes. But, I hope that man is not sleeping.
Me: Why?
Adit: If he sleeps then who will drive the moon? It will stay stuck.
