Indian Parenting

We had a blast this weekend at home. It was one of those lazy weekends but my sister had other ideas. She had got this set of dresses from the local drama store and we managed to deck up Y2 and Ri2 in some traditional Jai Sri Krishna attire. While Ri2 was ok with it Y2 didn’t have the patience to go through the full makeup, this explains why he isn’t 100% Jai Sri Krishna

We had a study of the Indian baby names and baby naming trends for the year 2008 and have found some interesting facts and figures. The details of our analysis are in the Indian naming trends for the year 2008 page.

As usual, we are the first Indian baby names site to do this. Hope this report will help you in deciding that ultimate baby name for your baby. So visit the trends page and also let your friends/ family know about the same.

Here is another gem.

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was making the dinner. He handed her a piece of paper with his writing on it. After his Mom dried her hands, she read it, and this is what it said:

For cutting the grass: Rs 50
For cleaning up my room this week: Rs 10
For going to the store for you: Rs 20
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: Rs 20
Taking out the garbage: Rs 10

Total owed: Rs 110

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is what she wrote:

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge

For all the nights that I’ve sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you’ve caused through the years:
No Charge

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No Charge.

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, “Mom, I sure do love you.”

And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: “PAID IN FULL”.

Moral

We will never know our parents worth till we become a parent. When it comes to our parents, we indeed have a lot to give…besides money!
