Our trip to India was amazing: 2 weddings and a 1st rice ceremony, as well as lots of great family time. The picture above shows how Torin's Indian family made him a proper Indian baby by putting ash spots on the bottom of his feet and the side of his head. This may be oversimplified and possibly not entirely correct, but my understanding is this is done so that the evil spirits do not think he is 'too perfect'.
We showed Torin off to everyone, even this very old and wise Guru at the temple was pleased to hold and to bless our little pumpkin.
The brides: Femke and Mantu, on the first day of Mantu's wedding and the last day of Femke and Ajoy's wedding.
Abir's grandmother (Takuma) holding Torin. This makes her Torin's Boro-ma, or great grandmother.
