In this day and age when the families far away are digitally connected, sometimes the very purpose of updating the blog doesn't seem to be so important. But I have come to know recently that my "little" niece in Kerala (who is almost a grown-up) has been looking forward for my blog updates. So here I come, with some new happenings in the family...
Mango has turned one already and we have been waiting to get mundan done for him. Mundan is a Hindu practice of shaving the head to remove the birth hair for the first time. Mayur had hers done five years ago. And it was Mango's turn. We have visited a specific Hindu temple where there is a guy who professionally shaves people's head for this purpose. Considering how energetic Mango is on normal days, we all thought it was going to be a difficult task to keep him still while his head being shaved. Surprisingly, he sat rather quiet only with occasional head turning to gaze at people who watched him breathlessly.
At the end, he has come out to be little monk. Now no one can mistake him for a girl!
