Now about the birthday parties being organised in India. From the time I have come to India I have participated in many kinds of B'day parties. <br />You will find all sorts of them. There are the hifi ones, there are the mid level ones with puppet show and mid level catering company taking the charge and there are simplest ones were parents cook the stuff, only children are invited, eat cake and kneerr/payesh and eat pulao and pander/chicken and cut the cake, dance, get some return gift and go home merrily. <br />It very much depends on Parents India about organising a B'day party.Chandrimahttp://www.blog-e-zine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-38101543403971656892011-08-15T04:42:28.407-04:002011-08-15T04:42:28.407-04:00This guacamole looks wonderful and innovative

We invited a group of 20 grad students(then myself was grad-student)and 4 diaper-dwellers(son's friends) at evening.so it was fun and snacks-cakes.thats it.<br /> last year, here in USA,it was a celebration at day-care,believe me I did not feel that attachment at all.<br /> I read that post that linked with your post,and really shocked by the extent of celebration.I think it has become more like status symbol and we are putting our shoes in that rat race.<br />by the way, some Chinese friends are coming on Sunday and I am repeating ur birthday menu.Thanks for that.quaditihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562844653690709474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-66945711672066149582011-08-12T21:07:48.572-04:002011-08-12T21:07:48.572-04:00Happy Birthday to the little one.

This post struck a chord - distributing sweets, going up on stage during Assembly so that everyone else could sing Happy Birthday, new clothes permitted that day, no uniform. But some of us had parties for every birthday with friends and cousins - all the snacks were home-made, I think, but we would have bakery cake and some decorations. There were no return gifts. <br />I know someone working in a party supplies place and she says we'd be shocked at the amounts people spend on kids' parties. I think there are a variety of reasons and influences - more affluence, busy parents, smaller homes that can't fit in too many kids, and kids' expectations themselves.<br />And it's not just kids' birthdays, even functions we have not done earlier - all kinds of pujas, traditions we never followed are being revived on some super mega scale, like marriages these days - the common opinion is that NRIs are doing this to hold on to their traditions and stay in touch with their community, and, of course, they have the money to spend. And Indians in India are following suit.srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.com
