Miah and I are going through something many expecting parents do. All of sudden, what were rather vague concerns about toxins, diet, and lifestyle now seem urgent. We do not want to raise a baby in a home full of poisons if we can help it. More than that, we want to raise a happy kid who understands the world around her and learns how to thrive in it. We want to be green parents. And we want to be socially responsible so our child inherits a better world. The only problem is that we do not know how to do this, especially since we have a limited budget and we like a clean house, tasty food, and time to relax. This blog is about our experiments, the ridiculous ones that fail and the ones that work.

Green Parenting|Rakhadi Episode
Our family celebrated Miah's coming motherhood in Baltimore. With help from Hiru mama and Jagruti mami, Mom and Dad planned a great event. My uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends who live on the east coast drove and flew in. This morning, a priest conducted a short ceremony. The key part was when my cousin sisters tied a rakhadi (which is like a friendship bracelet) onto Miah's wrist. At one point, the priest had me hold up a holy coconut while Miah stood behind me. Then my cousin Aditya ceremonially "slapped" Miah and rubbed red stuff on her cheecks. After the ceremony we played games like baby bingo. My grandmother, Vasumati, was one of the bingo winners. Then we had a big catered lunch.Here is a link to a sound recording of my grandmother, Vimla, blessing the little grizzlybird. She is known to family as Ba.Ba's Blessing
