Baby Shower

Late Friday afternoon Rathnam forwarded an invitation for a baby shower (his colleague's). The function was on Sunday evening so we had two days time to hunt for a proper gift. Now this happened to be the first baby shower that we were to attend. Both of usa were clueless about what to buy.

A little apprehensive, we both made our way to the baby section for the first time. Wow we were overwhelmed by the number of items there. So many varieties of toys, strollers, baby kits, car seats, shades, tin clothes and shoes... Everything was so nice. If at first we were confused now we were totally lost. Everything appealed to us. After a long time of repeated rounds around the various aisles we made a choice and bought a cute set of toys.

Next on our itinerary was selecting a card. This didn't prove to be difficult. We found a wonderful card right away. Still wanting to have a few choices we went through a few other cards but none was as good as the first one. So we completed our first baby shower shopping successfully.

The baby shower was held on Sunday. They had done it so well. Not a single detail was missed. Their house was decorated beautifully and whatever is usually done in India was done here without a flaw. Kudos to the hosts for such careful planning. The best part of the evening was we got Tirupati laddoo. It was nice to receive the blessings of the Lord right here in Boston.
