First cake

So the boy has baked his first cake. He checked the book for recipes and did most of the work with a little help from the wife for measuring.

Hindi

In his previous school, because of limitations, Hindi was not taught well. 

That showed now as the boy was not confident and resisted learning it. At one time he said he hated it. The wife had a talk with his class coordinator and things have improved now.
