In the summer of 2006, Shakru and Amisa's baby was finally born. Although the birth of a girl www.biquge.info old Patella was not very happy, he was relieved when he saw that Shakru, who had learned the news at the same time as him, did not slow down Ah Misha because of this, but took care of him as always.

So the old man personally pinched the stopwatch and recorded the exact moment of birth for his great-granddaughter outside the delivery room, so that he could draw an accurate astrolabe for his great-granddaughter a few days later.

Although Shakru did not believe in Hinduism at heart, as a sexual elder, he had to follow the traditional rules of Hinduism at certain times. Before cutting the umbilical cord for his daughter, he personally rubs a little honey (or ghee can also be smeared) on the baby's lips and whispers the name of the god three times next to the baby's right ear. At this time, other relatives and friends were beating on the sifter. (In the case of boys, they will beat a flat copper cutlery called tully that resembles a large plate and is used to make plates.) ）

The reason why it is important to keep track of the exact time of birth of the baby is to draw a chart for the baby. This allows the name to be chosen according to the nakshatra to which the child is born as it is considered auspicious. The naming ceremony takes place on a chosen date, which must be at least 11 days after birth.

The naming ceremony of a Hindu baby (namakarana) can be performed in front of the temple fire, or a priest can be invited to the baby's parents' home. Naturally, Shakrus invited the priests to his own home, and then poured the uncooked rice into copper or silver dishes, as was customary. He then wrote his daughter's name "Niya Pandit" on a golden rod and prayed to the gods to bless this new life.

Little Nia was then carried into a cradle by her grandmother and whispered the baby's name in her ear. Originally, this task was supposed to be done by the child's grandmother and grandmother together, but Shakru had no relatives, so it had to be carried out by Amisa's mother alone.

For Hindus, a baby's hair may be born with an ominous past life – it must be shaved to cleanse and purify the body and flexibility. The Hindu ritual of shaving the hair of a newborn born (called mundan or chudakarana) is usually held in temples and is held in an singular number of years and months. A barber who specializes in this sophisticated profession will be brought in. Your child's hair may be completely shaved or may have a tuft left on top. Each strand of shaved hair is carefully collected and offered to a god or a holy river, and a hymn may be chanted. Then, wash your child's hair with holy water and apply a paste of turmeric powder and sandalwood to the head (because these two ingredients have calming and antibacterial properties).

In stark contrast to this trivial practice is the related Hindu ritual annaprashana (literally, "ritual of eating for the first time"). This ceremony takes place at a temple or at the child's parents' home, depending on the community and location. The date of the ceremony is the auspicious day declared by the priests, which is about the time when the baby is six months old. Children dressed in new traditional costumes, and relatives and friends came with gifts.

The ritual begins with Puja (Hindu worship). A plate of food for children is usually rice, but some communities like to add a different flavor. The child's father feeds the child the first bite of rice, sometimes with his fingers, but others with gold rings. After the baby has eaten, it is the mother's turn to feed, and then it is the turn of the other family members. For some communities that perform this ritual at the temple, the next step is to place the baby on a large scale and then take out food, fruit, candy, etc., which is equal to the weight of the child, and distribute it to the devotees in the temple.

This concludes the religious part of the ritual and the game session now begins. Place your child on the ground near several objects that represent different skills or activities (e.g. books represent knowledge, pens represent wisdom, jewelry or banknotes represent wealth, clay pots represent inheritance, etc.). It is believed that the first object a child touches will represent an area or activity that interests him later in life – and may even reveal his future career. The game will be played with laughter and laughter, some babies will be able to crawl by this time, and some babies will need assistance.

This game is actually similar to our Chinese "Catch Week", compared to the previous complicated and boring rituals, Shakru is still very much looking forward to this link, although he doesn't believe in the theory of what he will do after catching something, but he still wants to see what his little daughter will be interested in, but Xiao Niya actually grabbed the calculator at once, which made Shakru a little crying and laughing.

Mukesh next to him laughed and said, "Shakru, it seems that your little Niya will also be a business wizard in the future, and you have a successor to these industries!" ”

Shakru said a little depressedly: "To be honest, I really don't want her to take over these industries, because she is too tired and worried, and it is better for a little girl to live a free life." ”

Old Patella, who had just passed by, heard this and said dissatisfiedly: "Little Shakru, are you going to go back on your word and not give the property to my great-granddaughter?" ”

Shakru smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, what are you talking about, I'm just afraid that she will work too hard, if she does have talent and interest in this area when she grows up, how can I not give it to her, after all, I can't work for a lifetime." ”

After being busy with his daughter's affairs, Shakru felt that it was time to do something serious, and after inspecting the various properties and carefully checking the accounts as usual, Shakru called Lakuma to his office, handed him a novel, and said to him: "Lakuma, you look at this book, and then calculate whether it can be adapted into a movie?" ”

Rakuma took it and looked at it, it turned out that this novel was the best-selling novel "Q and A" by Indian writer Vikas Swarup, he had indeed read this book, and he liked it very much, but now that the boss wanted to adapt it into a movie, he was a little worried, and hesitated for a long time before he said to Shakru: "Boss, I have read this novel, but I don't think it is suitable for him to be adapted into a movie." ”

"Oh, you think it's too difficult to shoot?" Shakru asked curiously.

Lakuma shook his head and replied, "That's not true, but the subject matter is too sensitive, and it's too easy to offend people if it's filmed." ”

You can guess which movie this is. (To be continued.) )
