Just sitting in office gave me a random thought on how we indians celebrate festivals here and how tough is it for our kids to cope with two very different cultures. Last friday was 'karwachauth', so in the evening there is a pooja ceremony, so my wife was getting ready and she put 'sindoor', so my 3 year old kid ask her "What's that?". So it took her quite a time to explain, why she's putting this and what all it means. I'm sure, he doesn't care right now, but was just curious to know. Same happens when we have diwali or something else, we make sure that sameer wears traditional indian dress. atleast he should be aware of what our culture is.
I'm pretty sure when he grows up, he's gonna ask million questions, on why we do certain things. Like why don't we eat meat on tuesday. Or why cannot I eat beef? I don't know how I'm gonna make him understand these things, but I'm sure, he will understand :) {at least i can hope for right now}
