I wonder what is more difficult. To get charged about the customs of your new land? Or to forget your own? And I am only at the other end of the same country unlike you.<br /><br />From whatever I remember my dad was strongly into Bengali festivals like durga pujo and annoprashon and Saraswati Pujo. And into Christmas as well in UK in the seventies.

The mom would have similar kind of oscillations but finally settling it in your way. I am sure elder S would start missing the knowledge of her roots atleast in her teen age. Till then you need to keep a balance on both festivals atleast to preserve the light for her sight. The simple cookies are sure would be tasty too. I am imagining how much ghee would it suck if fried ;)Nirmalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208705843959737265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-5036181117684956152009-11-05T03:46:00.593-05:002009-11-05T03:46:00.593-05:00Well i can totally relate to this post too.
