3rd Aug was Binnie's godbharai, the very India custom for a baby shower! Mom, megha and I went to her house. They had some typical custom of praying to the peepal tree in the temple, and then the usual bit about everyone showering their blessings on her, with meethe chawal and gifts.
14th Aug was mine...Mom did this sweet thing of arranging gajras for everyone who was coming in to bless me. I took leave from office that day, and thank god, as it poured and poured all day.
We have this typical thing of saat suhagane offering lucchi and halwa to the expectant mother ! I got lots of gifts. Embarrasingly Manish cousin Ekta gifted a life size newborn baby toy that cried like a real baby, said mama and papa...and somehow everyone found that real amusing.
The function went off well, bit everyone who left our home went back in 3-4 hours, with all the traffic and rain across the city. Tch Tch, Binnie's car was rammed by a bus, and now is in the garage....I guess everyone is going to remember this day.
