BHAVANA.B REPORTING FROM THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Hello everybody,

As you must have read the title I am currently in vacation in the U.S.  There are many reasons why I am here. But the main(well,one of the main) is that I have a new baby cousin born to my mom's younger brother in Chicago. We named him Amogh which means Lord Ganesh. He is very cute and all of us are trying to figure out who he looks like. Maybe we can't do that just yet. Many things happened in these 13 days I have stayed here, but,the highlight is the surpise blessing ceremony my family did for me on the day my baby brother was named. My mom and grandmom told me to dress up traditional that day.  I  did it just to please them. Later,after my brother got named (he has a name of one page, but, we simply call him Amogh.) my mom told me to go downstairs and sit on a chair which was totally decorated. I obeyed. Then, my aunt's mother came and dressed me up. I couldn't stand, couldn't run. But, I must admit it was quite fun to have so much attention. Every single picture had me. I was soo happy. I am indeed a very lucky girl to have a family like mine.
