Why this blog?

We've been thinking of writing some posts on Ekagra ever since he was born. But then I was procrastinating. First we thought that we'd post these in my primary blog Beberibang. But Beberibang has become too much of a hodge-podge (a khichdi). So we thought we'd set up a dedicated blog on Ekagra. But why?

The amount of joy that a kid brings to the family is just tremendous. But there are lot of challenges too. We want to share the joy as well challenges of raising Ekagra through this blog. We would like to capture important milestones and though-processes (of parents and of the baby) in and around Ekagra. We don't intend to make it just a photo-blog. Of course, there will be pictures too.

The plan is to gift this blog to Ekagra on his 10th or 12th birthday or whenever he understands about internet, blog etc.

We started the blog when he is into his 2nd year and 4th month. So we have a backlog of 28 months to cover first. Some of the topics that we plan to cover next are:

• Gift from Synopsys
• Financial planning for kid. Our search for a Child Plan and why we decided not to buy one from the existing products.
• Function to celebrate one month
• Trip to Pondicherry during the 4th month.
• Annaprashan (the ceremony when he starts eating rice)
• First birthday
• His first walk
• Admission into play school
• Second birthday
• Searching for a school for his nursery admission etc.
