Sarina gets named!

Sarina had her Barsa last week - her "naming ceremony" which is a Brahmin tradition. During the ceremony, the child's paternal aunt (Sumeet's sister!) has the honor of naming the infant. Since poor Monisha lives so far away, Aji had the honor. Rest assured Monisha Booa was consulted prior to naming Sarina so she got to play her role.

This usually happens on the 12th day of a baby's life. Sarina got all sorts of gifts of jewelery, and home made sweets (though we got to eat them!) and she got her name! Luckily, she got the name Sarina, which she seems to be happy with.

Here are some photos of the newly named Sarina Vakil Jain.
