Completed morning program. Bought a gift for Abhishree. Her birthday falls on 14th June. It is being celebrated in a big way. Birthday celebration is a big occasion in a child's life here. The same spirit has now come in the life of an Indian child too. We did not celebrate it during our childhood days with such pomp and show as it is done these days. Our parents did Puja on the day. There could be a get together of ladies of the locality/relations, some songs by/among them and distribution of sweets at the most, that too only on the birthdays of boys and not of the girls. These days birth days are celebrated as much for the girls as for boys. Our parents followed dates of birth according to Indian calender.The children follow the 'Gregorian calendar, also called the Western calendar and the Christian calendar. It is internationally the most widely accepted and used civil calendar.'
We have 4 granddaughters, Khyati, Abhishree, Amolikaa and Alaynah and a grandson, Akshat. As none is staying with us in India, we celebrate their birthdays by Puja, prayer, havan in the morning followed by distribution of sweets among the employees of the Society, our own attendants and generally to all who visit the Society temple on the day. We will join in Abhishree's birthday celebration in London on 14th. We attended her birthday last here in 2011.
Retired to sleep at 11 pm.
News of the day for children from London :1.A woman was bitten by jelly fish while she was swimming from Cuba to Florida yesterday. She is advised to take protective gear against sharks too
2.A third of honey bees died in England during last winter.
3.Three men in Czechoslovakia invented a bi-cycle which can fly for five minutes.
