Sold my first car

Sad to let it go

I have sold my first car two days ago. It took only 2 weeks after I put the ad online. The interested guy came, drove the car, negotiated the price a bit and then took the car after we signed the deal. Now my Volkswagen Golf is not anymore with me :-(

I got the driving license in 2010 and after I got the license I bought this car right away. It was my first car and I drove it for 5 years. It served me pretty well - aside from daily commute and short trips I had many long trips with this car and it never disappointed me on the road during long drive.

Since I have got a new lease car from my employer I had to sell this one. Keeping 2 cars at the same time is not yet feasible for me. So I decided to put the ad online and it went pretty quickly. I must say it was like a family member to us. Sharmin and Ninad were also sad to say goodbye but it had to be done. I hope it will keep running well with its new owner.

Ninad has got a place for piano lesson

Ninad is very interested in music. From his very early age, If somebody sings or plays any instrument he is listening to it with great attention. Noticing his interest in music we enrolled him in municipality music institute last year. He has been going there for a year now and he was liking it. It is very basic for young children to habituate them with music. It helped him to catch different song tune easily.

Since he has been liking music we thought how about an instrument. We talked with her music teacher and she said it's a bit early for him but he can try this year for some instrument if he wants. By this time, we managed to get a second hand acoustic piano last summer with the help of two of my friends - Mohsin and Saad. Since we had this piano in our home we sometimes play without knowing anything :-P Ninad also does the same. So, we thought why not let him learn piano. As a result, he appeared in a test in June this year to enroll in individual piano lesson. Unfortunately he could not make it. Most of the kids are 6 or 7 years old and Ninad is 5 and there were quite many interested children. Needless to say Piano is the most demanding instrument here. Ninad was in waiting list. Just two days ago the piano teacher called and said that one place got empty and if we want Ninad can join the lesson already this year. We agreed right away :-)

We are so happy that Ninad could get in to Piano lesson in Kirkkonummi municipality music school. I heard that these music schools are quite good while being very cheap compared to private ones. From next week he is going to piano lesson once a week. Let's see how it goes :-)

Ninad started his pre-school today

Today is Ninad's first day at pre-school. He has been excited about it for few weeks. He was having summer break from daycare for 12 days and finally he started new season by entering pre-school today.

In Finnish early education system every child has to spend 1 year in pre-school before they start their schooling. As far as I know the idea of pre-school is to prepare children for school. When they go to school they become more independent while it comes to taking their lunch, organizing their own stuffs etc. Also, I heard they will start some sort of formal education in pre-school just to get the flavor of school. They will spend some time everyday to start learning alphabets, numbers and so on.

It feels that time has passed really fast. I still remember holding him in the hospital and feeding him milk with a bottle. He was so tiny that he felt like a small cushion in my hands. It feels it was not long ago, but, in reality it was almost 6 years back. That tiny little cushion, my son, is starting his pre-school today. I wish him all the best and I really hope I can get along with him the best way possible.
