Annaprasana

We did Aarush's annaprasana on the 6'th day of his 6'th month which fell on Oct 25' 2009. We had a good time and were curious to find out what Aarush would pick which hints on what he would become when he grows up, ya somethings are silly but fun to follow.
He had no problem tasting paramanam and had been really cooperative throughtout the day inspite of his first 'boo-boo'. Coming to the fun part where he had to choose 3 items from the all things I put before him. Here's what I put:

Books, Stethoscope, Laptop, Mobile phone, Gold, Silver, Money, God, Knife, Screwdriver( How about a Mechanic;)) Pens and some toys.

He held the gold plate first then Stethoscope and finally books . It ofcourse was a little manipulative as Aarush does not crawl yet and picks up anything in the nearest proximity but then it was fun watching him see and pick things .
