We have found a cook, or are at least trying one out. She is the wife of the building watchman, and we had her over to talk to her yesterday, and she ended up cooking us dinner. It was good, and we didn't have to do anything. She was very quick at cutting and peeling, and made dinner quickly even with a child in her arms.

Her daughter is always running around the building laughing, and one morning followed Dolly into the guest house, called her "Mom" and then Dolly fed her toast. We have heard of her running into other houses as well. The laughing stopped when she saw me, and she mostly clung to her mother's legs and arms in the kitchen, occasionally forgetting about me and running out laughing, only to go running back in once she saw me again. Oddly, she's only afraid of me in our apartment, and out in the halls she runs right by me.

I also played some music yesterday at my soon to be Tabla teacher's house. His wife gives singing lessons, and I brought me guitar and attempted to play with their singing (I ended up just strumming a D chord). I then played with their son, who played harmonium and showed me some classical Indian chord groupings (played in Western style). If you are interested they were: Am-E-Dm-E-Am (with some changes in voicings) and G-F-C-G, which if you shake the order around is 80% of rock music.
