Remote Control mere haath mein hai

Devaangi has realized early the importance of managing stuff using remote control. Jab poora country madam ke remote control pe chal sakta hai to hamara ghar kyon nahi Devaangi ke remote control pe chale?

Since bacha has always seen us using remotes for switching on AC and TV, moment she sees any remote lying idle she quickly grabs it and starts pointing it towards the TV or the AC as to trying to switch it on!! IIn fact just the other day, I switched on the tv and while the set top bo was coming up bacha not only picked up the remote and pointed it towards the tv but was also pressing buttons so as to turn on the tv J
In fact she is so much smitten with gadgets  that moment she realizes that AC has been turned on, she quickly moves towards it to check whether all it’s LEDs are lighted or not. This happens more at her sleeping time when she even leaves her feed on realizing that AC has been turned on and actually crawls towards it to confirm that it has been turned on. Once bacha is satisfied, she comes back to continue with her feed!!!
I have already mentioned about bacha’s fascination for telephone sets in the previous posts. Another thing that excites bacha is the red bulb that has been put outside badi daadi’s bathroom( to indicate whether it is in use or not just like you have red bulbs outside OTs). Moment that red bulb is turned on, bacha forgets about everything else and  starts pointing towards it while making noises. In addition if the red bulb is turned off and you are standing near the switch, bacha actually prompts you to lift her so that she can switch the red bulb on and off (yes she has learnt how to do this).
Same goes out for the doorbell.  One day I was standing outside the door and was knocking at the door as there was a power failure and bacha actually started calling out to me to draw my attention towards the bell as though telling me that I need to ring it in order to have the door opened.
By the way Devaangi does the same with my neighbor’s doorbell as well. In case Kamla aunty’s door is opened and she is standing there talking to us or to bacha, bacha bends forward from our arms and tries to reach aunty’s door bell.
Abhi se yeah haal hai to aage Im sure Davaangi will be ringing aunty’s and our doorbell throughout the day or maybe jab bhi mauka mile !!!!
