7-October-2007- Bangalore:
The naming ceremony for our dear daughter was conducted with traditional South Indian rituals of Punyavachanam; Namakaranam and Jathakaranam (with homa). And our little princess was given the traditional name of "Meenakshi" (First born girls are traditionally named after their grandmothers and first born boys are named after their grand fathers. A ritual which still prevails with the motive of preserving the ancestral name.) and officially she was named "Shahana", as chosen by Anshu and myself.
The event was a grand success in-spite of some initial goof up in finding the panditji and some confusion about the dates.
So now this blog is official :)
P.S. watchout for a link containing the pics.
Cheers!-
